“He read a lot. He used a lot of big words. I think maybe part of what got him into trouble was that he did too much thinking. Sometimes he tried too hard to make sense of the world, to figure out why people were bad to each other so often.

He always had to know the absolute right answer before he could go on to the next thing.”

“The quality of owning freezes you forever in "I," and cuts you off forever from the "we.”

“We like companionship, see, but we can't stand to be around people for very long. So we go get ourselves lost, come back for a while, then get the hell out again.”
