I dont exactly know if these count as quotes but here are mine .

So here he is as the boiling water rises at the first day of the rest of his life. His girlfriend and best friend of as long as he can remember is lying in bed and she's beautiful and terrible, a blade contorted to cut the thin flesh of reality with the precision of a surgeon's scalpel. The way she calls to him catches him off-guard in its softness, it's love, Francis, can I see her? and he smiles and sits on his side of the bed and she's laying on her side of the bed and for a moment, he sees every reason he ever loved her, laid before him like a cartographer's map. Here is the point where you became the frog, it says, and here is the point where she boiled the water. Here is the solar plexus of your desire. Here is your nadir in her eyes, in the way she lies so evenly to you, made you think you were the one spiraling into the grips of a class 4 condition. She's built this house like she's built her rituals, and she's built her rituals like she's reconstructed you- patched and reeling in endless contempt, an animal entwining itself only further, as sure as the water rises and boils for an old and hungry god.
