Their talk was endless, compulsive, and indulgent, sometimes sounding like the remains of the English language after having been hashed over by nuclear war survivors for a few hundred years.

And, should you not feel yourself caring about any of this group of strangers, even for a second, you will just feel dreadful

Douglas Coupland 371 quotes

When you crop the photo, you tell a lie.

When future archaeologists dig up the remains of California, they're going to find all of those gyms their scary-looking gym equipment, and they're going to assume that we were a culture obsessed with torture.
