— Dean Koontz, buch Watchers
Watchers (1987), Context: I thought of you as my guardian, Einstein… you taught me that I'm your guardian, too, that I'm Travis's guardian, and he is my guardian and yours.

You've taught me that we're all needed, even those who sometimes think we're worthless, plain, and dull.
