“Once you leave out all the bullshit they teach you in school, life gets really simple.”

“Life gets really simple once you cut out all the bull shit they teach you in school.”

“It seems to me that the great pleasure of human life is not in having an opinion, but rather in learning all the ways you are wrong, and all the nuances you failed to account for, and all the truths that turned out to be not as simple as you once believed. And it seems to me that one of the central pleasures of attending school is that you get to read with really well-informed people who can help welcome you into a complex world stuffed with rich and maddening ambiguity.”

“The firs day of high school is bullshit anyways. It's supposed to be about new beginnings, but really all it does is wreck your life. And set you up for failure. And make you realize everything is completely and totally fucked.”

“I really did love you." Leaving out the unsaid word, once."Me, too." Once.”

“I never knew anybody . . . who found life simple. I think a life or a time looks simple when you leave out the details.”
