“If the world is meaningless, then so are we; if we mean something, we do not mean alone.”

“...we, and I mean humans, are meaning makers. We do not discover the meanings of mysterious things, we invent them. We make meanings because meaninglessness terrifies us above all things. More than snakes, even. More than falling, or the dark. We trick ourselves into seeing meanings in things, when in fact all we are doing is grafting our meanings onto the universe to comfort ourselves. We gild the chaos of the universe with our symbols. To admit that something is meaningless is just like falling backward into darkness." (p184)”

“Have you ever heard anyone say 'Abracadabra'? Well, some think it means 'I create as I speak.' So it means we create our world as we speak. Maybe everytime we say something we are helping create our world.”

“We were always getting away with something, which implied that someone was always watching us, which mean were are not alone in this world.”

“We only have one life to live, and must go on with it to the end, that if we feel it is meaningless, then we ourselves must give it meaning.”

“Just because life's meaningless doesn't mean we can't experience it meaningfully.”
