" 'Maybe you out to go back there.'

'Can't. Gotta stay where... where I know what's what.'

Where I don't forget what I am, and that I don't deserve anything better. Would wreck anything better.

'I Reckon that's what most of us think. But there's more strangers where you're from than in some sandland halfway around the world. And more strangers in your head than any place on the map.' "

― Lisa Henry , When All the World Sleeps
