“Sometimes it seems like all the things I need to know, I don’t. And all the things I do know are completely wrong.”

“This is a world where everybody’s gotta do something. Ya know, somebody laid down this rule that everybody’s gotta do something, they gotta be something. You know, a dentist, a glider pilot, a narc, a janitor, a preacher, all that . . . Sometimes I just get tired of thinking of all the things that I don’t wanna do. All the things that I don’t wanna be. Places I don’t wanna go, like India, like getting my teeth cleaned. Save the whale, all that, I don’t understand that . . .”

“Sometimes I'm afraid I've got it all wrong...and then I know I do...and then I feel small like I'm supposed to.”

“I don’t know how it happened. Nobody does. There are only theories, empty rhetoric and doomsday prophecies. None of them are right, but none of them are completely wrong, either. They all have a grain of truth. All I know is where I was and what I was doing when it happened.”

“But I know that all the things I do know are very small compared with the things that I don't know”

“There is a reason you don’t know all the things I know. -Marcus Eaton”
