Getting old is fine, but the process is difficult.

Life changes, decisions are made, and then many of your future options no longer exist.

Any place one wants to leave is a prison.

I'm starting to feel that reading about life is taking away real life time, so I try to accept invitations to experience the world more often.

Any ignorance of mine is out of confusion and without malice.

Being young is just as difficult and annoying as getting old.

You will go out of the world, and you will surely meet the satisfaction of life.

One of the things I like the most about this place is that it feels like everything is possible and there are limitless options for the future.

Luck never favors those who refuse.

Now all your feelings are just footnotes.

Don't be a genius who died early, be a person who died of old age. Getting old is cool, and getting old and dying is an even better journey.

People are always sad when they count their age.

The purpose of reading novels is to resist loneliness.

The struggle between the sacred and the profane is the only struggle in the world.

At a certain point, you have to let go, and it just gets worse and worse, which is kind of frustrating.

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?
