#84. I like globalization; I want to say it works, but it is hard to say that when six hundred million people are slipping backwards.

William Kent Krueger
#86. And I think I find, I know a lot of people around, in different cities, and so it's not - it might sound strange - but it's not that hard to say good-bye, because I know there's other people where I'm going. I can sort of fit in in a lot of places.
