“Saat kita harus menghadapi kekuatan alam, kita akan belajar untuk mempercayai. Bukan percaya begitu saja. Manusia bisa jauh lebih berbahaya daripada binatang liar. Kita pasti bisa mengetahui siapa yang bisa kita percayai. Kita harus tahu siapa yang akan menyelamatkan kita, jika kita terjebak bahaya dan siapa yang bisa kita beri senjata dan siapa yang membuat kita merasa aman saat membelakanginya. Yang paling penting, kita harus tahu siapa yang bisa kita ajak berbicara dari hati ke hati, tanpa dikhianati dan dilaporkan, semua hampa diluar sana...Jika kita tidak bisa berbicara kepada siapapun, kita pasti akan gila.”
