“You're in this place. There's other people all around you, but they don't understand you and you don't understand them, but people do a lot of pointless babbling any-way. In order to stay alive, you have to spend all day every day doing stupid meaningless work. And the only way to get out of it is to quit, cut loose, take a flyer, and go off into the wicked word. where you will be swallowed up and never heard from again.” - Snow Crash
