All those milk-fed, hog-fed, beef-fed early years. All those extra hormones we put in our livestock. We'll be seeing toddlers with tits before long.

It wasn't that I truly felt bad that I'd upset my mother--it was more that I hated any debits in her column.

You're in exquisite pain, you're not sleeping.' the mention of insomnia was always risky but usually paid off. People in pain don't general sleep well, insomniacs are exquisitely great full for people to recognize their weariness.

I could build my days around charity committees and home decoration and gardening and volunteering, and I don't think there's anything wrong with building a life around those things. Most beautiful, good things are done by women people scorn.

Es una era muy dificil en la que ser persona. Simplemente una persona real, autentica, en vez de una coleccion de rasgos seleccionados a partir de una interminable galeria de personajes. Y si todos interpretamos un papel, es imposible que exista nada semejante a un companero del alma, porque lo que tenemos no son almas de verdad. Habia llegado hasta tal extremo que ya nada parecia tener importancia, porque yo no era una persona real y tampo..

I have a meanness inside me, real as an organ. Slit me at my belly and it might slide out, meaty and dark, drop on the floor so you could stomp on it. It's the Day blood. Something's wrong with it.

house, already worrying my car might get stuck and what would happen if my car got stuck. From behind the storm clouds, the late afternoon sun arrived just in time to blind me as I slammed the door shut and walked toward the house, my gut cold. As I neared the front steps, a big momma possum shot out from under the porch, hissing at me. The thing unnerved me, that pointy white face and those black eyes looking like something that should alr..

The ones we picked? We didn't call them marks, or prey or victims. We called them Tonys, because my dad was named Tony and he could never say no to anyone (although I assume he said no to my mom at least once, when she asked him to stay).

They want you attractive but not slutty. For instance, in my real life I wear glasses, but I don't when I'm in back because it's distracting--they think you're going to pull a Sexy Librarian act on them, and it makes them tense while they wait for the first chords of a ZZ Top song and then they don't hear it and they get embarrassed for thinking that you were going to do Sexy Librarian and then they're distracted and the whole thing takes l..

She was scared. I pictured the police knocking, and here I was with a girl I'd been fucking the morning my wife went missing. I'd sought her out that day--I had never gone to her apartment since that first night, but I went right there that morning, because I'd spent hours with my heart pounding behind my ears, trying to get myself to say the words to Amy: I want a divorce. I am in love with someone else. We have to end. I can't pretend to ..

Although watching her three children toddle to her, sleep-stained from their nap, rubbing their eyes while they make their way to Mama, little hands touching her knee or arm as if she were home base, as if they knew they were safe... it hurts me sometimes to watch.

I stand in the middle of my room and debate not answering. Bang bang bang. I understand now why so many horror movies use that device--the mysterious knock on the door--because it has the weight of a nightmare. You don't know what's out there, yet you know you'll open it. You'll think what I think: .
