"The desolation of a little town on a frightful hot Sunday struck me.."

".. A holocaust that will drag down.."

“That’s what we call knee-knocking courage” 

"So deeply ingrained"

“I mean, that would really get us in a jam…” 

“Fear dims even the sunlight.” 

“First stars appeared in darkening skies still pale and the earth’s heat escaped upward.” 

“Other than that, you’re just completely off the record as far as we’re concerned.” 

“I felt a great hunger for something merely pleasurable, for something people call fun.”
