Michael Shea Quotes

Up Before Sunrise. Marjorie Hated Getting Out Of Bed In The Dark, But Loved The Payoff Once She Was Dressed And Rolling Down The Country Roads In The First Light, Cruising And Owning Them Almost Alone. The Countryside Here Used To Be A Lot More Interesting, Though. She Remembered It In Her Girlhood - Orchards, Small Ranches, Farmhouses, Each One Of These Houses A Distinct Personality... Money, She Thought Wryly, Scanning The Endless Miles Of Grapevines, All Identically Wired And Braced And Drip-lined, Mile After Mile - Money Was Such A Powerful Organizer.

As The Dawn Light Gained Strength, And Bathed The Endless Vines In Tarnished Silver, It Struck Her That There Was, After All, Something Scary About Money, That It Could Run Loose In The World Like A Mythic Monster, Gobbling Up Houses And Trees, Serving Strictly Its Own Monstrous Appetite. ("The Growlimb")
