“All this is simply to say that all life is interrelated. We are caught in an inescapable network of mutuality; tied in a single garment of destiny. Whatever affects one directly, affects all indirectly. As long as there is poverty in this world, no man can be totally rich even if he has a billion dollars. As long as diseases are rampant and millions of people cannot expect to live more than twenty or thirty years, no man can be totally healthy, even if he just got a clean bill of health from the finest clinic in America. Strangely enough, I can never be what I ought to be until you are what you ought to be. You can never be what you ought to be until I am what I ought to be.”
― Martin Luther King Jr.

“If it weren't my life, I wouldn't have believed it.”
― Jonathan Safran Foer, Extremely Loud & Incredibly Close

“You can be young without money, but you can't be old without it.”
― Tennessee Williams

“This town is like Gone with the Wind on mescaline!" From Midnight in the Garden of Good and Evil.”
― John Berendt
