Quote by Michael McDowell

“No mother and daughter in Perdido were closer than Mary Love Caskey and Sister. But it was not to be supposed that either told the other everything she thought or knew. In fact, each of them liked to keep little secrets from the other. Secrets which could be sprung at some opportune moment to produce a grand effect, rather in the manner of a little boy tossing lighted firecrackers beneath his sister's bed while she napped on a hot summer afternoon.”

I'm gonna kill him for sure. He's totally dead, guaranteed! -Shizuo Well, no. I'm the Headless Rider! I'm totally fine. -Celty No, no, no. That's not even the problem here!

'Vi ocharovatelny'.” “Err... Bee, acherabatennen.” However, hearing this, the Caucasian woman looked confused at Tom, and spoke to the owner behind the counter. “...... What is this man saying?
