Luke

“A child blind from birth doesn't even know he's blind until someone tells him. Even then he has only the most academic idea of what blindness is; only the formerly sighted have a real grip on the thing. Ben Hanscom had no sense of being lonely because he had never been anything but. If the condition had been new, or more localized, he might have understood, but loneliness both encompassed his life and overreached it.”
― Stephen King, It

“DeWeese asks, 'Does this tie in with what you were doing on "Quality?"'
'It's the direct result of it,' I say.
I remember something and look at DeWeese. 'Didn't you advise me to drop it?'
'I said no one had ever succeeded in doing what you were trying to do.'
'Do you think it's possible?'
'I don't know. Who knows?' His expression is really concerned. 'A lot of people are listening better these days. Particularly the kids. They're really listening... and not just at you- to you... to you. It makes all the difference.”

“And Jesus answered him, saying, "It is written, That man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word of God.”
