  1. “It was a form of insanity. It was wonderful! Being in church was probably like this, he thought. They were like one whole creature.”
  2. “You and I have been friends for a long time, but that is, without exception, the most batshit insane line of batshit insanity that I’ve ever heard fall out of your mouth.”
  3. “There is screaming, a grotesque, awful screaming coming from many human mouths, coming from somewhere down the main road. But that’s the only way he can go.”
  4. “A shock wave of horror shuddered through Memorial Hall as people realized how many of their neighbors and friends, in the safety of anonymity, had been seduced by sensationalism and gut feelings. There was cheering and there was anger, there were those who cried and those who screamed for a rebellion, but most were satisfied that justice had been done.”
  5. “The membranes that separate us from insanity, from the fall, the monsters, are so thin. Only paper walls.”
