Are you gloating inside? That’s what this is about, isn’t it? Getting me to trust you so you could blow it up in my face!” […] “i get that you’re angry,” said patch. “i am ripped apart!” i shouted.

Vee scowled at him. She is famous for that scowl. It’s a look that does everything but audibly hiss.

Dont start. I saw marcie climb inside your jeep. She needed a ride. I adopted a hands-on-hips pose. What kind of ride? Not that kind of ride, he said slowly.

Things are never quite as scary when you’ve got a best friend.

It is not being out at heels that makes a man discontented, it is being out at heart. To be contented is to be good friends with yourself.

It is the harmonious integration of landscape and people providing their food, energy, shelter and other material and non-material needs in a sustainable way. Without permanent agriculture there is no possibility of a stable social order.
