“Perhaps we were both unimpressed by the Grand Canyon because the awe of infinity so many people feel, the satisfying horror of the bottomless darkness of things that such a sight reveals, the tear in the universe that lets the hellhounds in, is something my mother and I know perfectly well.

There's a difference, and you should try to get that difference, or that's who you'll grow up to be.”
