Mom and Dad say I should make my life an example of the principles I believe in... But every time I do, they tell me to stop it.

Happiness isn't good enough for me! I demand euphoria!

Let's say that life is this square of the sidewalk. We are born at this crack and we die at that crack. Now we find ourselves somewhere inside the square and in the process of walking outside of it. Suddenly, we realize our time in here is fleeting. Is our quick experience here pointless? Does anything we say or do in here really matter? Have we done anything important? Have we been happy? Have we made the most of these precious few footsteps?

Every time I've built character, I've regretted it.

I liked things better when I didn't understand them.

That's one of the remarkable things about life. It's never so bad that it can't get worse.
