The Narrator

"You're not your job. You're not how much money you have in the bank. You're not the car you drive. You're not the contents of your wallet. You're not your fucking khakis."

"The things you own end up owning you."

"It's only after we've lost everything that we're free to do anything."

"You have to consider the possibility that God does not like you."

"Our generation, we're the middle children of history. We have no purpose or place."

"We're the byproducts of a lifestyle obsession."

"When you realize that you're asleep in life, you see that you've been asleep."

"It's not until you lose everything that you're free to do anything."

"The only way to deal with an unfree world is to become so absolutely free that the very existence of the world is a form of freedom."

"This is your life and it's ending one minute at a time."

"Stop trying to control everything and just let go."

"You're feeling something right now. Just let yourself feel it."

"On a long enough timeline, the survival rate for everyone drops to zero."

"You know you're alive."

"The best things in life are free."

"Self-improvement isn't the answer. Self-destruction is the answer."

"Somewhere in a basement far below, someone is still wearing your last shower"

"It could be worse. A lot of things in your life could be worse."

"I felt like destroying something beautiful."

"The liberating thing about hitting bottom is the only place left to go is up."

"You're always told that the underdog's the good guy in the movies, and I think we're the underdogs here."

"Advertising has us chasing cars and clothes, working jobs we hate so that we can buy shit we don't need."

"You have to give up the life you planned in order to have the life that is waiting for you."

"When deep space exploration ramps up, it'll be corporations that name everything."

"We buy things we don't need with money we don't have to impress people we don't like."

"At the time, my life just seemed too complete, and maybe it was. Maybe that's why men are drowning."

"This isn't really death. What's the worst thing that can happen to you?"

"You're not a unique snowflake. You are the same decaying organic matter as everything else."

"In the beginning, we're all innocent."

"The things you own end up owning you. It's a concept we struggle with our entire lives."
