“Ihan tosissaan, A sanoi, ne eivät kyenneet pitämään heille asiallista seksivalistusta mutta kertoivat kyllä, millä menetelmällä Anna-Maijan ex-mies oli surmannut itsensä, sellaista se oli 1990-luvulla ja Kaarinassa.”

“Kun Ruutusotilas astuu solakoiden lamppujen huonosti valaisemaan luokkahuoneeseen, salaperäisenä ja kumarana, ainevihkopino kainalossaan, tunnen kirkkaasti elämän merkityksen. Se on odotus. Sillä viikosta viikkoon, kuukaudesta kuukauteen ja vuodesta vuoteen jaksan odottaa, että Ruutusotilas paljastaisi salaisuuteni, katsoisi sanojen läpi alas syvyyteen ja näkisi rikkaan, rikkinäisen maailmani, joka heijastuu sanojen vääristämän kalvon läpi kuin uponnut, mudan ja korallien peittämä Atlantis.”

She chose independence for her country. She chose power and freedom,” I yelled. Almost as if in response, a pulsating energy moved up from the ground into my bare feet. It thrummed up my body and radiated out in a bright light, first from my toes, then from my fingertips, then the top of my head. “I choose power,” I said. “I choose freedom.”

“I especially treasured my glimpses of Mother, Queen Cleopatra VII. She sat on a golden throne, looking as resplendent as one of the giant marble statues guarding the tombs of the Old Ones. Diamonds twinkled in a jungle of black braids on her ceremonial wig. She wore a diadem with three rearing snakes and a golden broad collar, shining with lapis lazuli, carnelian, and emeralds, over her golden, form-fitting pleated gown. In one hand, she held a golden ankh of life, while the other clasped the striped crook and flail of her divine rulership. Her stillness radiated power, like a lioness pausing before the pounce. It left me breathless with awe.”

“Penguins are Antarctica's Pekin duck, and Admiral Byrd just sent me a telegram telling me he wants me to come down there and teach him how to ice fish. The trick is not gluing the bananas to your wetsuit, and keeping the volume of The Golden Girls set at 33.”
