“Life is a cruel, horrible joke and I am the punch line.”
“Maybe I was what Leah thought she was. Some kind of dead end that shouldn’t be passed on to another generation. Or maybe it was just that my life was a big, cruel joke, and there was no escape from the punch line. -Jacob”
“If they were the jokes, I was the punch line.”
“It was almost funny. Life seemed downright accidental in its brevity, and death a punch line to a lousy joke.”
“It does not matter. The joke is we all have the same punch line.”
“In the end, perhaps we should simply imagine a joke; a long joke that's continually retold in an accent too thick and strange to ever be completely understood. Life is that joke my friends. The soul is the punch line.”
