“Who in their right mind counts the tiles on the floor when they go visiting a neighbor?”
“One foot in front of the other, counting tiles on the floor so I don't have to focus the blur of painted smiles, fake faces.”
“We visit...a neighboring grave-yard. I am by this time in a condition of mind to become a willing inmate of the place.”
“Visiting the sick' is an orgasm of superiority in the contemplation of our neighbor's helplessness”
“One thing you can count on when visiting the Nevernever: you don't ever get bored.”
“People only go to the places they have visited first in their minds.”
