Quotes:
Pg 19 quote: “Money created a sense of obligation, and he should have wanted the woman to feel obliged to do what she’d said, once what she’d said she’d do had set him off inside.”
Pg 24 quote: “The insect sat inside its dark shiny case with an immobility that seemed like the gathering of a force, it sat like the hull of the vehicle from which the engine had been for the moment removed.”
