"What institutions wanted out of you was...something that could be put down on a form. If there was anything unconventional about your case they preferred not knowing about it. Telling them the truth was like pouring sand in the gears...I learned that in San Quentin, the only institution of higher learning I ever attended, and it was a valuable piece of wisdom which served me well the rest of my life."

"The surgeon in charge of the ward was a naval commander named Waldbach. He was supposed to have been an eminent specialist in civilian life, a member of the Columbia medical faculty and a world-wide authority on burns. I don't know what a surgeon that good is doing in the Navy. Maybe people didn't get burned often enough in civilian life to suit him."

"I began to see why Victor drank so little . . . Alcohol was for people who basically wished to be dead but lacked the courage to kill themselves. It was a kind of little suicide; it annihilated you for eight hours during which you had the sweet peace of a corpse and then it gave you another chance, your head thudding and your mouth tasting like a parrot cage to remind you you had been somewhere."
