Q: I've been here all my life, waiting for a phone call to tell me the meaning
of life. The electronic prodigy said that the meaning of life should be to seek inward, the soul?

Q: Why do you want to prove that everything is meaningless?
BOSS: I'm a businessman , Nothing is for nothing. The saddest thing for human beings is to choose to believe in God, in other words, to believe that there is a purpose greater than life, which will make this life meaningless. You see, this is a weighing station on the way to the future, and I chose you, I have to admit, because you represent the opposite of this project. A man of faith, you insist that there is a phone call that gives your life some meaning. You've been waiting for that call and you've lived a meaningless life, I'm sorry, but I don't need your services any more.

It feels very existential, but most places are tough, Like why the male protagonist keeps calling himself WE, us. ourself??
At present, I can't understand it, and it's very hard to read, so I can only give him two stars...

The Zero Theorem quotes

  • Bob: Did you know that more than 33 different aboriginal tribes believe that the soul resides somewhere in the lower intestinal tract? Absolutely true, but here's the zinger: none of these tribes have any knowledge of each other's existence. Coincidence? Coincidence? Why do you think all these separate peoples got such an idea?

    Qohen Leth: Dysintery.

  • Bainsley: Is that what's inside you? How can you live with that kind of emptiness?

    Qohen Leth: One day at a time.
