"You got to remember who you are so you don't become like the people around you. Each night you tell yourself over and over you got a special place inside you where you live. It's like a private cathedral nobody can touch. That's the secret to sanity.
This is so perfect; a perfect way to approach life, because in the final analysis it is just you. You are alone in your uniqueness and you are the only one who can make it work.
"But you can't tell anybody about your special place. Because once they know you got that private place in your head, they'll strap you down and kill your brain cells with electroshock."
This is the flip side - everybody wants what you got if it's good. And they especially do not want you to benefit from it. Gotta watch your back.
These quotes are from Pegasus Descending by James Lee Burke. Yeah, baby - Dave Robicheaux and Clete Purcel are back in my life.
