“And we were all of us alone, clinging to a rock spinning through the star-strewn darkness and trying desperately to matter.

Spinning endlessly alone—until we’re not alone, and we stumble into someone else trying to mark the chaos, and we cling tighter to that person than we ever have to the world itself. That spark in another, that resonation of the soul—a counterpoint in the dark—was more real and more important than the earth beneath our feet.”

― Stephen King, Cell
