Quiet place Quote by Robert James Waller
““Carlisle wondered if it was still possible for him to live alongside civilization and yet be somewhat apart from it. Find a slice of quiet in the layers of noise, conduct a rain into the noise now and then for some work, take the gold and run like hell back to the quiet place…Flight was no good. You couldn't escape it, whatever 'it' was.””
