“Em 1959, poucas mulheres no subúrbio tinham emprego, mas Ferguson e seu amigo tinham mães que eram mais que donas de casa e, consequentemente, foram obrigados a serem mais independentes e autoconfiantes do que a maioria de seus colegas de escola, e agora que tinham doze anos e começavam a curva que levava ao portão da adolescência, o fato de terem largos intervalos de tempo, só para eles, sem a supervisão de ninguém, estava se revelando uma vantagem, pois nessa etapa da vida os pais são, seguramente, as pessoas menos interessantes do mundo, e quanto menos tivermos de ficar com eles, melhor. Portanto, os dois podiam ir à casa de Ferguson depois da escola e ligar a televisão pra ver American Bandstand ou Million Dollar Movie sem medo de serem repreendidos por desperdiçar as últimas horas preciosas da luz do dia sentados dentro de casa numa tarde tão linda. Por duas vezes naquela primavera, eles conseguiram convencer Glória Dolan e Peggy Goldstein a irem para casa com eles, para bailes a quatro, na sala, e como nessa altura Ferguson e Glória já eram veteranos em beijar, seu exemplo inspirou Howard e Peggy a experimentarem sua própria iniciação na complexa arte do beijo de língua.”

“The gods in Lankhmar (that is, the gods and candidates for divinity who dwell or camp, it may be said, in the Imperishable City, not the gods of Lankhmar—a very different and most secret and dire matter)… the gods in Lankhmar sometimes seem as if they must be as numberless as the grains of sand in the Great Eastern Desert. The vast majority of them began as men, or more strictly the memories of men who led ascetic, vision-haunted lives and died painful, messy deaths. One gets the impression that since the beginning of time an unending horde of their priests and apostles (or even the gods themselves, it makes little difference) have been crippling across that same desert, the Sinking Land, and the Great Salt Marsh to converge on Lankhmar's low, heavy-arched Marsh Gate—meanwhile suffering by the way various inevitable tortures, castrations, bindings and stonings, impalements, crucifixions, quarterings and so forth at the hands of eastern brigands and Mingol unbelievers who, one is tempted to think, were created solely for the purpose of seeing to the running of that cruel gauntlet.”
