Casting Shadows Everywhere QUOTES

2 " Out of all of the trillions of years of the Earth’s history, you might be alive for one 70 or 80 year period. That ain’t so long. You should be out ready to burn this motherfucker to the groun’ while you can. But they somehow get you all scared and hung up on these stupid ideas. "

8 " Kind of, but it’s more than that. It’s like a lot of shit you’ve been told in your life is a lie. All these rules and all these things you worry about... they ain’t got real meanin’ on their own. The only meanin’ they got is what we give ’em, you know? "

14 " But I look for meaning anyway. I look for it in books. I look for it in relationships. I look for it in the endless crowds of kids funneling in and out of the school. I look for it in death. I look for it in the snow in the middle of the night while the rest of the world sleeps. I look for it goddamn everywhere. "

18 " I think he just changed the spelling, Robert. Like for artistic reasons.” He wrinkled his nose up and thought about it, squeezing the ball a second before he went back to firing up layups. “No. I think they’re different. Tupac Shakur and two-pack.” “Maybe you’re right,” I said. I didn’t even want to get into the whole Makaveli thing. "

20 " Every day is a chance to get better and better and better at whatever you want to do. Or whoever you want to be, I guess. "
