I am continuously impressed by the mediocrity around me.

No, really!  We've got to stop educating people!  All it's doing is making us more depressed as we comprehend more and more of our problems...

The more people I meet, the more I realize how normal the first ones were...

The idea of the whole world knowing about me seems appealing.  But the idea of every side of my life knowing about the others scares the hell out of me.

Right about the time I started acting like an adult, that's when I lost my ability to care passionately about the interesting but otherwise unimportant things.
