"Places can be holy...not because we are told they are, but because we want and need them to be."
Places can be holy, Almásy reminds us, not because we are told they are, but because we want and need them to be. Places can be holy because we are sharing them with someone we love, just as some places become cursed because they've taken people we love away from us.
From Edwidge Danticat - "The Art of Death"
