Even if that's not it, even if Hell is all fire and sulfur and that sort of thing, it couldn't be much worse than that.”

“Maybe that's what happens with age, I thought. All your life you force yourself to forget people who have hurt you, but as you get older and weaker their memory surfaces again, like a bubble in the water.

And maybe, unexpectedly, you find out that instead, of revamping your anger, those memories produce an unexpected sweetness.”
