What We All Share

"There comes a time when we realize that our parents cannot save themselves or save us, that everyone who wades through time eventually gets dragged out to sea by the undertow -- that, in short, we are all going."

--John Green, Looking for Alaska (2005)

Stephen King on Saying What Matters

"The most important things are the hardest to say because words diminish them.  It's hard to make strangers care about the good things in your life."

--from the novella "The Body" in the collection Different Seasons (1982)
