Louis L'Amour

Do not let yourself be bothered by the inconsequential. One has only so much time in this world, so devote it to the work and the people most important to you, to those you love and things that matter. One can waste half a lifetime with people one doesn't really like, or doing things when one would be better off somewhere else.

- Louis L'Amour

Cain was a loner who did not wish to ride alone.

- The Mountain Valley War by Louis L'Amour

I stumbled across this beautiful line in a simple paragraph of an old paperback with the musty-sweet smell of childhood. This is me. I'm a loner who doesn't wish to be alone. This is so many of my favorite characters, from Mal Reynolds to John Sheppard to Rambo. Loners who don't want to be alone.

What a beautiful line.
