call it a divine literary coincidence....I was just looking at a transcript from an old "family guy" episode, the one where they do their version of three Stephen king stories, and I found this (from the "stand by me" story):
"We talked into the night, the kind of talk that seemed important until you discover girls."
as to the "why" of both of those quotes...id says it because they seem fundamentally true and worth being reminded of.
