“Sometimes you try your hardest and still can’t find something to want.”

“The American Dream, as we know it, is abundance. It's a dream to amass houses, children, cars. It's a dream to collect things of value. But it is an equally American dream to be able to abandon, drop everything, to jettison, without guilt, anything that weighs you down.”

you could like bad things without embarrassment, so long as you conceded
their badness. You could sin, as long as you made clear which god you
prayed to.”
