“A guy sets alone out here at night, maybe readin' books or thinkin' or stuff like that. Sometimes he gets thinkin', an' he got nothing to tell him what's so an' what ain't so. Maybe if he sees somethin', he don't know whether it's right or not. He can't turn to some other guy and ast him if he sees it too. He can't tell. He got nothing to measure by.”
― John Steinbeck, Of Mice and Men

“As happens sometimes, a moment settled and hovered and remained for much more than a moment.”

“They looked at one another, amazed. This thing they had never really believed in was coming true.”
