Quote by Dean Koontz

“La nora encengué un foc de llenya i un cop fet força caliu hi va posar algunes lloses de pissarra -de llicorella, deien ells- després d'untar-les d'oli copisament. Un cop roents hi estengué els conills espellats i espaterrats, ben espolsats de sal. Jo em mirava tot allò com si estigués veient els preparatius d'un dinar de l'època paleolítica, de l'autèntica Edat de Pedra! Amb l'allioli que mentre els conills es rostien havia fet el vell -en un gran morter també de pedra-, no recordo haver menjat cosa més rica en tots els dies de la meva vida.”

“I had to do something about my longing, so I got up, went to the kitchen in my nightgown, peeled a pound of potatoes, boiled them up, sliced them, fried them in butter, salted them generously and ate every bite of them - asking my body the whole while if it would please accept the satisfaction of a pound of fried potatoes in lieu of the fulfillment of lovemaking. My body replied, only after eating every bite of food: "No deal, babe.”
