“Either greed belongs in a war zone, or it doesn't. You can't unleash it in the name of sparking an economic boom and then be shocked when Halliburton overcharges for everything from towels to gas, when Parsons' sub, sub, sub-contractor builds a police academy where the pipes drip raw sewage on the heads of army cadets and where Blackwater investigates itself and finds it acted honorably. That's just corporations doing what they do and Iraq is a privatized war zone so that's what you get. Build a frontier, you get cowboys and robber barons.”

“He knows that there will be days ahead, long, tedious days which have no real beginning or ending, but which run together into night and out of it without changing color, or sound, or meaning. He will lie in his bed feeling the minutes and the hours pass through his body like an endless ribbon of pain because time becomes pain then. Light and darkness become pain; all his senses exist only to receive it, to transmit to his mind again and again, with ceaseless repetition, the simple fact that now he is dying.”

“E la casa aveva anche un odore particolare, un misto della sabbia cotta dal sole che la circondava, dell'argilla rossa dell'argine, del Perdido che scorreva oltre il terrapieno, dell'umidità trattenuta dalle mura spesse e dalle stanze grandi e buie, dei cibi preparati da Zaddie in cucina, e di qualcosa che era arrivato quand'era vuota e non se n'era mai andato. Persino nei mesi di siccità , quando i raccolti avvizzivano nei campi e gli alberi delle foreste erano cosà secchi che bastava un fulmine per ridurre in cenere ettari di bosco in cinque minuti, la casa conservava quella nota di acqua di fiume, tanto che le tappezzerie sembravano umide al tatto, le buste nuove si incollavano da sole e l'impasto delle crostate lievitava male. Era come se l'intera casa fosse avviluppata in una foschia invisibile salita dal Perdido.”

“If you ever want to distract me, pretend that there is a threat to your safety. Because I will always react to that.”
