“Trevor and his father watched as two mortal enemies from the deadliest conflict in human history shared a reunion as joyful as one between long-lost brothers.... None of those people would have ever been born if GG had done his duty and killed this man so many years ago. A snap decision, a moment of mercy, and all those lives suddenly became possible. It would not bring back Renee's family, but it was a miracle just the same.”

“Trevor climbed once again to the land of the living, naked except for an antique gas mask strapped to his face. As he peered through glass eyes like a mutant fly and breathed through the alien snoot, a single thought coiled through the booby-trapped labyrinth of his brain: I need to be alone. I need to be alone. I need to be alone.”

“Trevor could almost see the invisible gas leaking from the broken furnace, billowing around his body, wafting in his wake from the laundry room to the living room, seeking out the nostrils of the realtor, the yuppies, the toddler, and every other goddamn trespasser before seeping into their bloodstream and infecting their cells until they dizzied, ached, barfed, and fell to the floor like a bunch of— He caught himself. He breathed through his nose. He pushed away the hate, calmed the tornado strangling his gut, and thought of HER.”

“Trevor realized that the odd thing about English is that no matter how much you screw sequences word up up, you understood, still, like Yoda, will be. Other languages don't work that way. French? Dieu! Misplace a single le or la and an idea vaporizes into a sonic puff. English is flexible: you can jam it into a Cuisinart for an hour, remove it, and meaning will still emerge.”

“Trey’s breath hitched as his son literally flung himself at him. “Jesus, Kye.” “Dad, when I’m Alpha of the pack and you’re a sad old man with nothing to do—” “Wait, a sad old man?” Trey asked him. “It’s gonna happen,” Kye asserted. “Anyway, after I kick your butt and take over the pack—” “That’s how you’re planning to become Alpha? By kicking my butt?” “You can’t take it personally, Dad.” Chuckling, Taryn ruffled her son’s hair.”

“Tri-guna appears in discourse of Krishna prominently, To Arjun upon the battlefield of Kurukshetra clearly; That the backdrop for the Bhagwat Gita surely be, All three gunas are held to delude the world clearly: त्रिभिर्गुणमयैर्भावैरेभिः सर्वमिदं जगत्। मोहितं नाभिजानाति मामेभ्यः परमव्ययम्॥ ७.१३॥ tribhirguṇamayairbhāvairebhiḥ sarvamidaṁ jagat | mohitaṁ nābhijānāti māmebhyaḥ paramavyayam || 7.13|| World deluded by these Three Gunas does not know Me: Who beyond these Gunas and imperishable does but be. (7.13)”

“TRIAD: Three separate highways intersect at a place no reasonable person would ever want to go. Three lives that would have been cut short, if not for hasty interventions by loved ones. Or Fate. Three people, with nothing at all in common except age, proximity, and a wish to die. Three tapestries, tattered at the edges and come unwoven to reveal a single mutual thread.”

“Trial began on Friday, July 23, 1875... the jury which was finally selected consisted of eight Mormons, three Gentiles, and one Jack Mormon... When finally the case was closed and the case given to the jury, they could not agree upon a verdict, the eight Mormons all being for acquittal and the other four, all for conviction. The court was obliged to begin all over again and try the case before another jury. Even the most cursory examinations of the court records will show that between the first and second trials of Lee, something happened. When court opened again on September 14, 1876, the whole tone was changed... R.N. Baskin and other non-Mormons insisted that the leaders of the Mormon church had entered into an agreement with District Attorney Howard that Lee might be convicted and pay the death penalty, if the charges against all other suspected persons would be withdrawn. This was to be done by a jury composed only of Mormons, who would bring a verdict of "guilty", if names of other participants were left out of the discussion... This time the trial proceeded with dispatch. Men who had participated, and for almost twenty years had sealed their lips, now came forward to testify... On September 20, the case was given to the all-Mormon jury, who deliberated three and one-half hours and brought in a verdict of "guilty." [Lee was] convicted of murder in the first degree...”

“Trial by Fire Loneliness is a cold flame that flays the soul. When you pass through the fire you know things then no mortal man should know. You're Lazarus come from the dead living among men with your death still on you, knowing too much to ever have a friend, a broken building with lights left on sagged against the sky, mortally wounded. You'd thought that by enduring You'd come to peace and reconciliation, warm hands. You come instead to a place where no one's been and stand in the starless night hands to your face and no strength left, lost from man and unknown to God and no way back. It's then you know you must make a place for yourself of dry bones and anguish, wring light from the substance of your will and hope from the bone-dry earth. It's then you know that the only chance you stand is to forge a star out of your living breath.”

“Trial by jury is a privilege of the highest and most beneficial nature [and] our most important guardian both of public and private liberty. The liberties of England cannot but subsist so long as this palladium remains sacred and inviolate, not only from all open attacks, ... but also from all secret machinations, which may sap and undermine it.”
