Heat of Passion | Harold Robbins

I felt sorry for kids her age [18], kids who are light years away from their parents and anyone else over thirty. Older people have nostalgia for the good old days, but there are no good old days for people nurtured in a culture of sex and drugs...Raised in an era when Baywatch plastic sexiness was confused with sensuality, [her] generation believed a good night kiss was unzip...that didn't believe in Santa Claus and whose dreams were all digital.

Pieces of stars, that's what diamonds were, the hardest substance on earth with fire a billion years old trapped inside...Not the 'blood' of conflict diamonds that fueled African civil wars...It was a gem with a history. Murder, lust, greed---the worst of the deadly sins---were part of its pedigree. Vanity and greed, that's what they say the diamond industry is based upon. And that the human race could be relied upon for an endless supply of both.
