Nobody believes the identities we've made for ourselves. I feel like everybody in the world is fake now - as though people had true cores once, but hucked them away and replaced them with something more attractive but also hollow.

TV and the Internet are good because they keep stupid people from spending too much time out in public.

As the expression goes, we spend our youth attaining wealth, and our wealth attaining youth.

You've seen what you've seen; you've felt what you've felt. Ideology is for people who don't trust their own experiences and perceptions of the world.

There's nothing at the center of what we do...No center. It doesn't exist. All of us-look at our lives: We have an acceptable level of affluence. We have entertainment. We have a relative freedom from fear. But there's nothing else.

Is that all time is - our perception of how quickly it does or does not pass?

Our achievements may make us interesting, Tyler, but our darkness makes us lovable.
