“Sooner or later a child has to know it: that his life is a candle and eventually the candle gutters out. That there are bad things out there in the world that want blood. Not vampires, of course. But school shooters. Viruses—viruses love your blood. The bad leader who will draft you and fling you into a pointless war. The romantic partner who is tired of you running your mouth and has decided to close it with his fist. It’s all out there, all that evil, watching you with bright eyes, scratching at the window and hoping to be let in. Some of that wickedness requires an invitation. Some is powerful enough to force the glass.”
― Stephen King, 'Salem's Lot
