“The first step to be a good man is this: You must deeply feel the burden of the stones someone else carrying.”
“Sometimes carrying the burden of an upsetting truth, and hiding it, is actually a gift you give to someone else. You bear that burden, so they don’t have to, in a situation where telling them will change nothing.”
“No word of commiseration can make a burden feel one feather's weight lighter to the slave who must carry it.”
“home is where your ass is and if you want to move you move your ass the first step is learning to change homes with someone else and have someone else's ass.”
“I am sorry: sorry you have come in for this burden: sorry about everything. Don't adventures ever have an end? I suppose not. Someone else always has to carry on the story.”
“A story is a burden which must be carried with as much care as we carry a sleeping child”
