“Ah, if there were a man brave enough to dare so much for love--!’ ‘He stands before you. What will you give him?’ She got up, a hand at her bosom. ‘If he dares so much—I should have to give—myself, señor.’ ‘Remember that promise!’ he warned her. ‘You shall be called upon to redeem it before a year is out.’ She looked fearfully at him. ‘But how? how?’ ‘Dear heart,’ said Beauvallet frankly, ‘I do not know, but I shall certainly find a way.”

“Every fundamentalism focuses on end times, and Armageddon is, in a sense, a rhetorical trope, an emphatic and overwhelming conclusion, meant to wrap up and make tidy the mistaken wanderings of history. For a fundamentalist the end is one of the forms desire takes, a passion no different from lust or avarice, intense with longing and the need for fulfillment and relief. It’s like they’re horny for apocalypse. They get off on denouements, which partly explains why Hell House never amounted to much more than a series of murderous conclusions. It focused only on that part of a story where life finds itself fated. Inside every act a judgement was coiled. Real people with their ragged and uncertain lives, their stumbling desires, their bleak or blessed futures, would only break into the narrative, complicating the story, dragging it on endlessly.”
