“Show me a man or woman alone and I’ll show you a saint. Give me two and they’ll fall in love. Give me three and they’ll invent the charming thing we call “society.” Give me four and they’ll build a pyramid. Give me five and they’ll make one an outcast. Give me six and they’ll reinvent prejudice. Give me seven and in seven years they’ll reinvent warfare. Man may have been made in the image of God”
― Stephen King, The Stand

― Sebastian Junger, In My Time of Dying: How I Came Face to Face with the Idea of an Afterlife

“The problem with leaving home behind is that it’s not just a place you come from—it is who you are and with you wherever you’re going. Turning from it makes it far too easy to lose your way.”
