“Scary stories protect us. They have since the beginning of story itself. That's what they were made for. And children, especially, need scary stories. They keep children away dangerous places and dubious people. The old folk stories of nixies kept children away from the edges of dangerous waters. Tales of ghosts to this day keep children away from abandoned, tetanus-filled houses. Stories of the Candy Man keep them from talking to strangers. If we keep children away from scary stories, we are doing them a disservice. These books warn them against things that busy adults might have failed to mention. Moms and Dads and Schools are often afraid to talk about monsters and boogeymen, because they are afraid of scaring the children. But scary books for don't mind doling out a good scare- that's their job, after all, and they do it better than anyone else.”

“Then I met Abigail. She was as intoxicating as the wine, the music was heady, and the body language, off the scale. When we finished our meal, I didn’t even have to ask, I went to the reception desk, picked up the key, and she followed me like a ticking bomb all the way to the room”

“In bila sva. Velika. Mogočna. Zaljubljena. Pa ne na način, na katerega danes ljubijo mladi. Ni šlo za nekaj minljivega. Če bi, danes ne bi pisala besed, ki jih pišem. Kajti ko enkrat okusiš nekaj tako resničnega in se temu odrečeš, si kot vojak, ki se po bitki domov ne vrne več enak. Ljubezen spremeni človeka. Ga odpre. Pozdravi. Da, predvsem to. Le da jaz takrat še nisem verjela, da je to resnično mogoče. A se na napakah učimo. In slovo je bila moja. Ali pa ne. In to je ta prelepa dihotomija. Človek kot enkratno kontradiktorno bitje – navzven in vso pot skozi.”
