If It Bleeds (Holly Gibney #2)

by Stephen King

Henry Thoreau said that we don’t own things; things own us. Every new object—whether it’s a home, a car, a television, or a fancy phone like that one—is something more we must carry on our backs.

In the twenty-first century, I think our phones are how we are wedded to the world. If so, it’s probably a bad marriage.
