“In the suburbs lust thrives and flourishes like an epidemic of lawn grubs during a heat wave.”
“Relationships are like Rome -- difficult to start out, incredible during the prosperity of the 'golden age', and unbearable during the fall. Then, a new kingdom will come along and the whole process will repeat itself until you come across a kingdom like Egypt... that thrives, and continues to flourish. This kingdom will become your best friend, your soul mate, and your love.”

“What grows best in the heat: fantasy; unreason; lust.”
“If you saw a heat wave, would you wave back?”
“The atmosphere's warm and fervid. The scent of it wafts up in dense waves... sweat laced with perfume like smoke from an oven of burning human lusts.”
