“In video games you sometimes run into what they call a side quest, and if you don't manage to figure it out you can usually just go back into the normal world of the game and continue on toward your objective. I felt like I couldn't find my way back to the world now: like I was somebody locked in a meaningless side quest, in a stuck screen.”

“Some things are hard to explain to your parents. Some things are hard to explain, period, but your parents especially are never going to understand them.”
