I read something cool the other day

I'm reading this book called The Roaches Have No King by David Evan Weiss. It's pretty good, its about these roaches that are trying to get a guy to cheat on his girlfriend. Anyway the narrator is a roach named numbers and he has to use some rubber cement, I won't explain why, and he gets high from the fumes. This is the quote I like:
"I felt ridiculous; I could barely walk. In the spell of the vapors from the glue I thought about leaving terra firma to return to my roots in the sea, as the whale had. But the idea passed quickly... I could never risk becoming a developmental blunder so pathetic that humans would beg for it on bumper stickers."
Don't know why, but that just struck my fancy.
