The Companions (The Sundering, #1, The Legend of Drizzt, #27)

by R.A. Salvatore

The constant struggle for basic needs, the helplessness, with no way to escape and no place to escape to;

And that is the point of community: common need and common good, the strength of numbers, the tenderness of a helping hand, the ability to work as one to attain greater heights for all, the widening of horizons beyond one’s own perspective and one’s own family, the enrichment of life itself.
