Memorable Quotes
-
“Hello, babies. Welcome to Earth. It's hot in the summer and cold in the winter. It's round and wet and crowded. At the outside, babies, you've got about a hundred years here. There's only one rule that I know of, babies — God damn it, you've got to be kind.”
First Sentence
A sum of money is a leading character in this tale about people, just as a sum of honey might properly be a leading character in a tale about bees.
