Some Lines

The purpose of fiction is to combat loneliness. On the other hand, spending most of your time with a 1100-page book tends to put a dent in your social life.

Loneliness simultaneously increased and decreased.

Grace is not a time or place dependent.

Life happened.

Sometimes you just have to talk about what you love and hide those you don't.

Nobody feels like an adult. It's the word's dirty secret.

Reading about life was taking time away from actually living life.

Most of the time when I'm out, I keep thinking I would be so much happier in bed with a book, that makes me feel not super cool. I still read, tons. I just feel like I'm more aware of a book's limitations.

Liberal Arts quotes

  • Jesse Fisher: I think one of the things I loved the most about being here was the feeling that anything was possible. It's just infinite choices ahead of you. You'd get out of school, and anything could happen. And then you do get out, and... life happens, you know'? Decisions get made. And then all those many choices you had in front of you are no longer really there. At a certain point, you just got to go, "Oh, I guess this is new its going down." And there's just something a little depressing about that.

  • Nat: Is your name... Ethan?

    Jesse Fisher: No, why?

    Nat: You look like an Ethan to me.

    Jesse Fisher: My name's not Ethan.

    Nat: How cool would that be, if that was your name and I just, like, knew it?

    [Jesse shrugs]

    Nat: Are you a student here?

    Jesse Fisher: Uh, no, but thank you for thinking that. You?

    Nat: Nah, man. Just here visiting a buddy of mine. It's not a bad place to kill a little time, huh? I'm Nat.

    Jesse Fisher: I'm Jesse.

    Nat: Do you hear that music, Ethan?
