"“A grown child is a dangerous thing.”"

"“What do you think I am, completely without any moral whatsits, what are they called, those moral things?”"

"“Like many small towns Trion tolerates eccentrics, if they are ITS eccentrics.”"

"“Nothing in American history can compare with the scale of the domestic espionage of Operation Snow White.”"

"“Children don’t require of their parents a past and they find something faintly unbelievable, almost embarrassing, in parental claims to a prior existence.”"

"“Even worse than applying is the very real possibility that I will not be hired, that I couldn't even find work as an elf. That's when you know you're a failure.”"
