Quote by Muxiniang

“His delicate body was exposed like an offering, bared before the ghost. The ghost’s treasure, the ghost’s heart, the ghost’s greed. He could finally possess this treasure, receiving what he wanted.”

“Do you think all these people actually buy into his whole obsession, or do they just want to rub elbows with his money?" "Part of it is certainly Quincannon's wealth. He has been known to make or break political candidates. But I'm sure part of it is that they simply enjoy the topic of murder." Which didn't exactly put me at ease.

“My Name Once when the lawn was a golden green and the marbled moonlit trees rose like fresh memorials in the scented air, and the whole countryside pulsed with the chirr and murmur of insects, I lay in the grass, feeling the great distances open above me, and wondered what I would become and where I would find myself, and though I barely existed, I felt for an instant that the vast star-clustered sky was mine, and I heard my name as if for the first time, heard it the way one hears the wind or the rain, but faint and far off as though it belonged not to me but to the silence from which it had come and to which it would go.”
