“You know what’s the problem of our time, Leon? People lose their meaning.
Everyone is replacable. There are no more ideals, and without ideals there is
nothing that makes us greater than we are. Everyone desperately looks for proof
that the world with him is a little different than without him. – I have done
something for this boy. Maybe it had meaning. Maybe it gave me a little
meaning.”-- Greywolf in The Swarm, by Frank Schätzing
"Either our lives become stories, or there's just no way to get through them ... this is why I left my life behind me and came to the desert - to tell stories and to make my own life a worthwhile tale in the process... So I came down here, to breathe dust and walk with the dogs - to look at a rock or a cactus and know that I am the first person to see that cactus and that rock. And to try and read the letter inside me." - adapted from Douglas Coupland's Generation X
