Finally watched The Road and it's funny how much it gets compared to TLoU considering a) it's good and b) the father is actually a good father and person who doesn't treat his kid like a cross between a delivery package and a therapy dog

"Once there were brook trouts in the streams in the mountains. You could see them standing in the amber current where the white edges of their fins wimpled softly in the flow. They smelled of moss in your hand. Polished and muscular and torsional. On their backs were vermiculate patterns that were maps of the world in its becoming. Maps and mazes. Of a thing which could not be put back. Not be made right again. In the deep glens where they lived all things were older than man and they hummed of mystery."
The Road, Cormac McCarthy

"I have at least a few stories that I feel proud of. Something to leave behind. I don't just want to look back and say:
'Oh, you know what? I was on the cover of this magazine.'
That's for silly people. And as far as money goes, there's a saying in Denmark:
'Your last suit doesn't have any pockets.'
Meaning, you can make a lot of money, but you can't take it with you."
- Viggo Mortensen.
