“It was like this all up and down the river and many of the young people, the way they accepted their lack of prospects, it was like watching sparks die in the night...He didn't see how the country could survive like this in the long run; a stable society required stable jobs, there wasn't anything more to it than that. ”
― Philipp Meyer, American Rust

“Where happiness was not a possibility, the illusion of it was always more important.”
― Colum McCann, Zoli
