Chuck Palahniuk
Kids, she says. When they’re little, they believe everything you tell them about the world. As a mother, you’re the world almanac and the encyclopedia and the dictionary and the Bible, all rolled up together. But after they hit some magic age, it’s just the opposite.

This wasn't any mere song and dance here was a bold, blaring declaration howling itself into the empty face of death.
