• There's little to see, but things leave an impression. It's a matter of time and repetition. As something old wears thin or out, something new wears in. The handle on the pump, the crank on the churn, the dipper floating in the bucket, the latch on the screen, the door on the privy, the fender on the stove, the knees of the pants and the seat of the chair, the handle of the brush and the lid to the pot exist in time but outside taste; they wear in more than they wear out. It can't be helped. It's neither good nor bad. It's the nature of life.

• When I was 15, my parents left town for a month. They hid the keys to the car, but I found them. That month, I drove my stepdad's Thunderbird Super Coupe into Manhattan every day, and I would crank Cypress Hill as I flew around the city, racing the taxis.

• I doubt that religion can survive deep understanding. The shallows are its natural habitat. Cranks and fundamentalists are too often victimised as scapegoats for religion in general. It is only quite recently that Christianity reinvented itself in non-fundamentalist guise, and Islam has yet to do so.

• Crank, You See isn't any ordinary monster. It's like a giant octopus, weaving its tentacles not just around you, but through you, squeezing not hard enough to kill you, but enough to keep you from reeling until you try to get away. Try, and you hunger for it grasping clutch, the way its tendrils prop you up, your need intensifying exponentially every minute you refuse to admit its being (p.469)

• Quien reclama la Verdad, la Verdad abandona. La Historia sólo es invocada o coaccionada por intereses que siempre resultarán viles. Es demasiado inocente para dejarla al alcance de cualquiera que ostente el Poder; basta con tocarla para que todo su Crédito se desvanezca en un instante, como si nunca hubiera existido. Necesita más bien ser cuidada amorosa y honorablemente por fabulistas y falsificadores, cantantes de baladas y chiflados de todos los radios, maestros del disfraz que le proporcionen el traje, la vestimenta y el porte, y un discurso lo bastante ágil para mantenerla más allá de los deseos, o incluso de la curiosidad, del gobierno.
