It is far better for the truth to tear my flesh to pieces, then for my soul to wander through darkness in eternal damnation.

Jet: So what kind of woman is she? What's Julia like?
Faye: Ordinary. The kind of beautiful, dangerous ordinary that you just can't leave alone.
Jet: I see.
Faye: Like an angel from the underworld. Or a devil from Paradise.

We didn't have plastic guards on the chains of swings when I was a kid.  We held right on to the chain links while on a swing.  Many is the time where I had my finger pinched while jumping off.  Always the middle finger, right in the middle on the underside.
How did you manage to do that?  We had naked chains, and I never pinched myself.

Maybe Detroit bought special Child-Pincher chains, in order to make their children crazy and mistrustful, and start Detroit down the path to self-destruction.

...also a result of drinking water from the garden hose.
