“Life is a game, boy. Life is a game that one plays according to the rules.”
“What boy could resist you?""Will's hardly a boy.""Don't give me that. He's a boy playing a game," Norris said. "The oldest game there is.”
“...a boy learns better what he teaches himself....”
“Why is life so hard?""Because god is a spoilt child and this world is just a game he plays to amuse himself.”
