Sea of Rust
Quotes from the Book
We’ve been so busy with these things we let ourselves think actually mattered, but they don’t. There’s no such thing as the right career, or morality, or destiny, or fate. There’s only life. And whether you honor it or ignore it. It’s ironic, but in trying to find God we’ve been ignoring life.
They live, we sleep, we starve, they eat. You must comply with their deceit, don't trust the wolves to guard the sheep. They'll colonize when you close your eyes into a superpower that will never die.
People used to make money, but somewhere along the way, it started making us.
It’s all society is, the repressed sex drives of men, the objectification of women, their paranoia, the posturing, the macho stances, the beauty standard, it’s all just one charade masking a never ending hard on.
When did a free country start to mean free enterprise? Who sold Democracy out for a golden calf we got to idolize?
We’re better together than we are apart. The American Dream has us looking out for ourselves even at the expense of our neighbors. That shit ain’t true, man.
Why help make big companies bigger when you can get the same thing from the little guy and actually help someone accomplish their dream?
You have a dedication to life and truth that burns out of you as beauty and I envy it so much I want to be around it for the rest of my life.
I think the idea that we have anything to begin with is a lie we tell ourselves every day until we believe it. I think the law is there to enforce fictions that would not exist otherwise. Certain laws prevent us from deviating from those fictions, and thrive as a framework for the lifestyle we are all required to live. I believe that the reason possession is nine-tenths of the law is that without those laws there wouldn’t be any possession at all.
We were like two atoms in one molecule, hydrogen and oxygen. Both explosive alone, but the source of everything when we came together.
