Quotes

 * “Once in a while I get a kid in from the student agency to do some heavy cleaning. You’d be amazed how efficient budding sociologists and historians can be.”
 * Happy All the Time, Ch. 1


 * The fact was that, while Misty was moral, Vincent was good. Watching him sleep it was revealed to Misty that the good do not necessarily have to maintain morality:  they were born with it, while people like Misty, who were not good, had to strive mightily for goodness.  That was what a moral system was:  it helped you be good when you weren’t very nice.
