“Our crab pots are out front, and Francis has fixed a big metal barrel right on the beach. He lights a good fire to get the water boiling, and after the crabs are cooked, we women sit on the patio shucking until we have a mountain of meat in the middle of the table. We stir up buckets of cocktail sauce from catsup, mayonnaise, Worcestershire, lemon juice, and celery salt, and the kids come running. They eat on their towels on the sand, soaking up as much sun as possible to get them through the next winter.”

“Vi è sotto la società, insistiamo, e vi sarà sempre, fino al giorno in cui l'ignoranza non sarà del tutto scomparsa, la grande caverna del male. Questa caverna è al di sotto di tutte, ed è nemica di tutte. È l'odio senza eccezioni. [...]Questa caverna ha come scopo l'inabissamento di tutto. Di tutto. Comprese le caverne superiori, che essa esecra. Essa non mina solamente, nel suo odioso brulicare, il presente ordine sociale; essa mina la filosofia, la scienza, il diritto, il pensiero umano, la civiltà, la rivoluzione, il progresso. Si chiama semplicemente furto, prostituzione, omicidio e assassinio. Essa è tenebra, e vuole il caos. La sua vòlta è fatta d'ignoranza.”
