But you know what they say about Gutshot: the population never goes up and never goes down, because every time a woman gets pregnant, a man leaves town.
John GreenThat's the mystery, isn't it? Is the labyrinth living or dying? Which is he trying to escape---the world or the end of it?
John GreenBy saying you donโt care if the world falls apart, in some small way youโre saying you want it to stay together, on your own terms.
John GreenEverything that comes together falls apart. Everything. The chair Iโm sitting on. It was built, and so it will fall apart. Iโm gonna fall apart, probably before this chair. And youโre gonna fall apart. The cells and organs and systems that make you youโthey came together, grew together, and so must fall apart. The Buddha knew one thing science didnโt prove for millennia after his death: Entropy increases. Things fall apart.
