"If she were to consider it, Bliss would discover she's never made love to her husband in her dreams. Two priests at play in the garden of nocturnal delights might be one too many." - Ann Knight

"With waking came the return of scent, the musk of an overheated winter room overpowering his slow to recover consciousness; sweat, drink and dog. And sex, he thought. Yes, a good end to the party." - George Murray

"It is the American embassy in Kudesh, the capital of a country little known to Americans except as a source of cheap oil, which means of course that it is a country of extreme importance to America." - Jane Halpern

"Jack Hardesty was my mother's father, but his wife Stell was his second after losing his first wife, Zella, to suicide in 1918. It was a story that no one in the family would ever tell until my mother dragged it out of her uncle." - Ladd Moore

"One day as he sat pondering the teachings of Buddha, the landlord came knocking on his door. 'Where is the rent, great thinker?' he asked. 'What? Don’t great thinkers live rent free?'" - Michael Twist

"At the corner a new hostess bar, Club Cowboy, was having its grand opening. Two over-tanned ganguro girls in suede vests, spur-studded riding boots and ten-gallon hats were passing out flyers – while outside the bar a pair of tuxedoed bouncers coaxed the passing salarymen inside. 'Only 3000 yen a drink!'" - Sam Pitch
