Two Thousand Times One

This year I re-read G.K. Chesterton's The Man Who Was Thursday. I think I have a new favorite line:

"… there are no words to express the abyss between isolation and having one ally. It may be conceded to the mathematicians that four is twice two. But two is not twice one; two is two thousand times one."

I'm holding onto this a lot this year. Friends are so important to me.
