Tom Robbins

And it rained a screaming. And it rained a rawness. And it rained a plasma. And it rained a disorder.

Tom Robbins

From each one of them rose separate columns of smoke, meeting in a pall overhead, and through the smoke came stabbing flashes of fire as German shells burst with thudding shocks of sound. This was the front line of battle.

From the evangelist's oven mouth spewed images of a place with pitchforks, and devils, and lakes of fire that burned forever. God had fixed a place like that because he loved us so much.

Harry Crews

We had the same kind of unemployment here as they had in the worst hit places in the North and you're meant to be on a cushy wicket in the South.

Sometimes as hard as a 100 carat diamond, or again soft as a feather bed, or running like a cooling stream, they can also burst like fireworks from their shells and take on the look and rubbery texture of a baby octopus. Never a dull egg, with me.
