Quote
Way Down South in Dixie (Break the heart of me)They hung my black young lover To a cross roads tree.Way Down South in Dixie (Bruised body high in air)I asked the white Lord Jesus What was the use of prayer.Way Down South in Dixie (Break the heart of me)Love is a naked shadow On a gnarled and naked tree.

Quote
Why did this have to happen? So many innocent lives have already been lost and there were still so many more to go. It was difficult knowing there were still people, who were home asleep, that had no idea what terrors awaited them when they finally started their days. It was a tragedy.

Quote
Sometimes I think about dying. And then I wonder about going to hell. And then I think that if and when I go there, the place will be completely organized and run by lost souls, with a council and a works committee and an ethics panel, and I'll feel right at home.

She watched as the dancing lights of madness swirled and flickered in his eyes like the fires of hell, and she knew that there would never be anything that could quench those fires except death. Vanessa knew that Jango had become his own Grim Reaper.

Quote
And suddenly, in the place of the woman-shape made of shadow, there was something else. Something huge, something ugly. Linay flung up both hands. The thing screamed like a hawk and opened to wings: one white as a death cap, one clotted in shadow. The wings came together and the whole pond shuddered.Something hit Kate's ear and shoulder and smashed to the deck by her feet. It was a swallow, dead. She could hear them falling all over the pond.

Quote
Есть упоение в бою,И бездны мрачной на краю,И в разъяренном океане,Средь грозных волн и бурной тьмы,И в аравийском урагане,И в дуновении Чумы.*Все, все, что гибелью грозит,Для сердца смертного таитНеизъяснимы наслажденья —Бессмертья, может быть, залог!И счастлив тот, кто средь волненьяИх обретать и ведать мог.

Quote
That had day changed him. It had changed the entire village. Shaken by the death of a boy they had loved, each person found ways to be more worthy of the sacrifice he had made. They had become kinder, more careful, more attentive to one another.
