Quotes from the Book
Their lips met with a tender and powerful force. At that point, they melted into each other and Seth felt a flush of sensations over his entire being.

The FDA and the EPA are supposed to be protecting us, not the people who make the poison.
He felt teenage rejection overcoming him like a childhood virus that lies dormant, then attacks the unsuspecting adult. It would never be something he would get used to.
You will always be a puppet on someone else’s line if you don’t care enough about the big picture to let your tiny voice be heard. When it is combined with the tiny voices of millions of others that is the real power.
Society tends to stick labels on everything and everyone. The label that is given to you will stick with you for a lifetime.
If you’re not looking for the right thing, you can’t be disappointed if you don’t get it.
It was a puzzle for men how women never got tired of shopping, even if there was nothing to buy
And how about doing the job we hired you gentlemen and ladies for? Start doing it by reading the legislation you pass. If you don’t know what it says, don’t vote for it.
If you knew when your last day of life was going to be, it was the best place to spend your last night on earth, because in Russia people party like tomorrow will never come.

Seth discovered that night that he had two extra stomachs; one for vodka and one for overeating.
There was a chemical solution to all of America’s food needs, which had been whittled away for years and years and honed down with precision to train the public that everything they needed to put on the table for their family came in a box, bottle or can.
He was a playboy type in his late 30’s, and a sharp dresser, tonight being no exception. Dave wore a designer sports jacket and chic designer jeans; not at all what you would expect from an FBI agent’s undercover expense budget. His wife (or whoever she was), Julia, was a conservative dresser, with more of what you would expect an FBI agent to be wearing. She had mousy brown hair, spoke in nasal tones, and was somewhat frumpy; not much to look at. They went together about as well as Brad Pitt and a den mother from Davenport Iowa.
Leave it to a woman to notice all of the little details that men often ignore.
When I left, Mr. Chairman, I had the constitutional right to freedom of speech. Has that right been stripped from the American people while I was gone?
I think you know how it works, Senator. The big chemical companies fill the coffers of one of your colleagues who is a lawmaker from an agricultural state such as, well, let’s take Iowa, for example, and the lawmaker recommends the president to install industry executives in high positions, such as the head of the FDA or the EPA, and, this way, the industry can approve its own products without safety testing.
He was smart, but he had to be smarter. No points for second place.
