• Here's the thing: this eel spends its entire life trying to find a home, and what do you think women have inside them? Caves, where the eels like to live...when they find a cave they like, the wriggle around inside it for a while to be sure that...well, to be sure it's a nice cave, I suppose. And when they've made up their minds that it's comfortable, they mark the cave as their territory...by spitting.

• One describes a tale best by telling the tale. You see? The way one describes a story, to oneself or to the world, is by telling the story. It is a balancing act and it is a dream. The more accurate the map, the more it resembles the territory. The most accurate map possible would be the territory, and thus would be perfectly accurate and perfectly useless. The tale is the map that is the territory. You must remember this.

• Like an ethereal presence
  You hang out everywhere.
  Not a naughty or scary goblin,
  Rather, an inquisitive observer,
  A concerned, caring custodian,
  Visiting every niche and closet
  Where we stuff the undesired
  Of our messy, blemished lives,
  You haunt territories we ignore,
  Hoping we will find you there.
