«According to my boss, there are fewer and fewer gentlemen in business and more thugs.»
«Marla tells me how in the wild you don't see old animals because as soon as they age, animals die. If they get sick or slow down, something stronger kills them. Animals aren't meant to get old. Marla lies down on her bed and undoes the tie on her bathrobe, and says our culture has made death something wrong. Old animals should be an unnatural exception. Freaks.»

With everyone's imagination atrophied, no one will ever be a threat to the world.»

«If you tell folks you're a college student, folks are so impressed. You can be a student in anything and not have to know anything.
