“All the time, I'm afraid the thing that happened that made it all right for my mother to kill my sister could happen again. I don't know what it is, I don't know who it is, but maybe there is something else terrible enough to make her do it again. I need to know what that thing might be, but I don't want to. Whatever it is, it comes from outside this house, outside the yard, and it can come right on in the yard if it wants to. So I never leave this house and I watch over the yard, so it can't happen again and my mother won't have to kill me too.”

“If you don't like the weather in New England now, just wait a few minutes.”

“I just know that something good is going to happen.
I don't know when,
But just saying it could even make it happen.”

“The brain is the kind of beast you can't stop. Even after the soul leaves the body, what we call death, the brain can still function for a few seconds or even a few minutes.”
