Quote by Stephen King

Summary

This quote suggests that the respect for the unknown or mysterious aspect of life comes from the realization that perhaps marriage or any kind of union is truly inexistent. It implies that each individual soul stands alone, independent and incomprehensible, ultimately defying logical understanding. The mystery lies in accepting that there may be no rational explanation or binding concept behind the complexities of relationships or human connection.

Such is the influence which the condition of our own thoughts, exercises, even over the appearance of external objects.
