Quote by Laird Barron

“Everyone is looking for the answer. They do not want to find the answer, trust me. Unfortunately, the answer will find them. Life—it’s like one of those unpleasant nature documentaries. To be the cameraman instead of the subjects, eh?”

“This book is full of empty love quotes. If you are looking for the meaning of life and love, then this book is for you.

Sounds like a fair deal to me.”
