When it was so hard to be understood, to talk, I found his books. Part of who I am now is because of this person. The reason I became a writer is because of this person. I don't know how to say thanks when all he did was make some unknown person across the other side of the country laugh when she didn't think she was still capable of it.

George:I'd say I'm sorry to disappoint you, but I'm not. I excel at not giving a shit. Experience has taught me that interest begets expectation, and expectation beget disappointment, so the key to avoiding disappointment is to avoid interest. A equals B equals C Equals A, or whatever. I also don't have a lot of interest in being a good person or a bad person. From what I can tell, either way, you're screwed. Bad people are punished by society's laws, and good people are punished by Murphy's Law
