This reminded me of my favourite lines from The World According to Garp:
He'd discovered that he liked houses. Maybe mostly because they were understandable. They could be calculated and drawn on paper. They did not leak if they were made watertight, they did not collapse if they were properly supported. Houses were fair; they gave you what you deserved. Which, unfortunately, was more than you could say for people.
