" But sometimes at the bakery where I work, I'll give someone a loaf of bread-and it answers a need. For a moment, that person is my master. And in that moment, I'm content. If I were as independent as you wish you were, I'd feel I had no purpose at all. "

― Helene Wecker , The Golem and the Jinni (The Golem and the Jinni, #1)
