“I know this doesn't sound like some sort of earth-shattering new idea that's going to change the universe. But I wonder if what Hercules was most afraid of when he was holding up the sky wasn't that he was going to have to hold it up forever. It was that he was going to have to hold it up forever while he was by himself. THat's a kind of scary thing to think about.

Maybe, the stuff we hold up, we don't have to hold up by ourselves all the time. Maybe sometimes we can let someone else hold is up too. Maybe that's how we can get by. Maybe.”
