“Grow the lawn and mow the lawnalways keep the TV on,brush your teeth and kill the germs,poison apples, poison worms.”
“Love is poison. A sweet poison, yes, but it will kill you all the same.”
“Resentment is like drinking poison and then hoping it will kill your enemies.”
“The average lawn is an interesting beast: people plant it, then douse it with artificial fertilizers and dangerous pesticides to make it grow and to keep it uniform-all so that they can hack and mow what they encouraged to grow. And woe to the small yellow flower that rears its head!”
“When you're five and you hurt, you make a big noise in the world. At ten you whimper. But by the time you make fifteen you begin to eat the poisoned apples that grow on your own inner tree of pain.”
“If you asked me to mow your lawn, I’d say sure—just as soon as you move your lawn directly above mine.”
