“Forget dice rolling or boxes of chocolates as metaphors for life. Think of yourself as a dreaming robot on autopilot, and you'll be much closer to the truth.”
“Life is like a box of chocolates.”
“It was like having a box of chocolates shut in the bedroom drawer. Until the box was empty it occupied the mind too much.”
“Life is fair. We all get the same nine-month shake in the box, and then the dice roll. Some people get a run of sevens. Some people, unfortunately, get snake-eyes. Its just how the world is.”
“Why do only the awful things become fads? I thought. Eye-rolling and Barbie and bread pudding. Why never chocolate cheesecake or thinking for yourself?”
“Life is like a box of chocolates... You think you are going to get a good one, but then find out it's not what you expected”
