21 " But what about people that never find love? Surely, they are still alive. Aren’t they? "
― Chris Dietzel , The Hauntings of Playing God (The Great De-evolution)
22 " Maybe life starts with your first fantasy, ends with your last fantasy, and is measured by all of the hopes and dreams in between. "
23 " All of life, everything on Earth, has been made possible because of that orange circle in the sky. That should never be taken for granted. But sadly, it is. "
24 " life starts with your first heartbeat and ends with your last heartbeat. "
25 " life starts the first time you tell another person you love them. That same life ends, she had said, no matter when your heart actually stops beating, the last time you make an announcement of love. "
26 " What child wants the pressure of knowing they exist for a single reason and it’s up to them to find it? "
27 " life started the first time you asked ‘Why?’ and ended when you stopped asking such questions. "
28 " Maybe, she thinks, life is about the first time you touch another person, and the last. "
29 " life began for men when they got their first erection and ended when they could no longer get it up. "
30 " Is life measured by the amount of times you feel in control of your future and the amount of times you feel powerless? "
31 " Maybe her mother was right: maybe asking all of these “why” and “how” questions is keeping her alive. "
32 " Why mold steel, control electricity, conquer mountains, go into outer space, if all that matters is taking another breath of air? "
33 " What kind of God would create a life like mine, a life that can’t support itself? Surely not a loving God. But at the same time, nature doesn’t create life that can’t support itself because that goes against the very nature of evolution and survival of the fittest, so maybe this is due to a higher power. "
34 " And I thought the crowd in Los Angeles was tough. At least they just threw tomatoes at me. Can I please just say one last thing? Yes? Thank you. What do Blocks and the bubonic plague have in common? They both really fucked mankind! "
35 " I’d rather starve doing what I love than be rich doing what I hate. "
36 " Block Consciousness, "
37 " If you believe what your government tells you, you’re a fool! "
38 " It wasn’t actually about blowing up this or destroying that, it was about the pandemonium. Nothing is more pure than chaos. "
39 " Love is something that should never be acted out. "
40 " You know, desire is nothing but the search for pleasure, and fear is nothing but the memory of pain. Both lead to suffering. And the Blocks are free of both. "
