Quotes
From Childhood Portions of the Novel:
“The only thing he could think about was how he cheated
on the spelling test last year, how Mrs. Millbrooks, no doubt, told Miss
Darnell about it, and how one day he’d be joining the shrunken heads on her
office shelf.”
“Tommy felt like melted butter, knowing Nita, Sheri, and
the entire school watched the calamity.”
Quotes
From Adult Portions of the Novel:
“I suspect Curtis glimpsed the shadows of a monstrous
plot. It was in his subconscious all along, beneath the surface.”
“Two siblings recalling the same repressed memories.
That’s rare.”
“Was there another threat besides Communism? A more
ominous one? Something that only the highest levels of MK-ULTRA knew about.
Something they thought justified going to such bizarre, dangerous, illegal, and
cruel length?”
“You cannot lasso the truth, because the truth is
infinite.”
Dialogue
quote:
“I have no idea what you’re taking about.”
“No, that’s not true. You know exactly what I’m talking about.”
Tommy felt surreal—as if his world was knocked off its
axis. He wanted to run to Mom and scream, “You’re right. Curtis is insane,
totally, totally insane.”
Dialogue
quote:
“What does he know about them?”
“He knows about their lies.”
“What lies?”
“Everything is a lie.”
