“If we were not something more than unique human beings, if each one of us could really be done away with once and for all by a single bullet, storytelling would lose all purpose. But every man is more than just himself; he also represents the unique, the very special and always significant and remarkable point at which the world’s phenomena intersect, only once in this way and never again.” — Demian by Hermann Hesse

“Girls with their legs crossed, girls with their legs not crossed, girls with terrific legs, girls with lousy legs, girls that looked like swell girls, girls that looked like they’d be bitches if you knew them. It was really nice sightseeing, if you know what I mean. In a way, it was sort of depressing, too, because you kept wondering what the hell would happen to all of them. When they got out of school and college, I mean. You figured most of them would probably marry dopey guys. Guys that always talk about how many miles they get to a gallon in their goddam cars. Guys that get sore and childish as hell if you beat them at golf, or even just some stupid game like ping-pong. Guys that are very mean. Guys that never read books. Guys that are very boring— But I have to be careful about that. I mean about calling certain guys bores. I don’t understand boring guys. I really don’t.” — J.D. Salinger, The Catcher in the Rye

My Dad's Opinion of Me whilst playing Uncharted 3.
- Me: *shooting bad guys right in the face*
- Dad: Nice job, Jenn. Whoa.
- Me: *gets fed up with shooting, charges into the field and starts hand to hand combat*
- Dad: Um.
- Me: *becoming more agitated*
- Me: *almost panics, starts shooting at random*
- Me: *hides while life recovers, then charges back in, successfully killing everyone*
- Dad: Are you ok?
- Me: ...
- Dad: ...
- Me: ...
- Dad: I would hate to be your enemy.
“When adults say, "Teenagers think they are invincible" with that sly, stupid smile on their faces, they don't know how right they are. We need never be hopeless, because we can never be irreparably broken. We think that we are invincible because we are. We cannot be born, and we cannot die. Like all energy, we can only change shapes and sizes and manifestations. They forget that when they get old. They get scared of losing and failing. But that part of us greater than the sum of our parts cannot begin and cannot end, and so it cannot fail.”
