“I watched her face switch among the radio stations of memory”

“I watched her and I watched the birds' shadows flit across her face, and I...wanted. I wanted more happy memories to hang up on the ceiling, so many happy memories with this girl that they would crowd the ceiling and flap out into the hall and burst out of the house.”

“I got in and started the engine, also turning on the radio. When the music began I wished that there might be more switches to turn on, for it was somehow not enough.”

“Music itself was color-blind but the media and the radio stations segregate it based on their perceptions of the artists.”

“If I had five million pounds I'd start a radio station because something needs to be done. It would be nice to turn on the radio and hear something that didn't make you feel like smashing up the kitchen and strangling the cat.”

“The radio station was playing Tchaikovsky's Swan Lake, a sure sign that things were much worse than they appeared.”
