And so I just sat in my white pantyhose and my red lipstick and I imagined myself a soldier in some far away land, searching for something beautiful to kill.
“It had happened again. He had made everyone laugh by doing something silly, but he didn't know what it was, why it was so funny. His father would have said he ought to be a "wakeup," whatever that meant, but he hadn't been a wakeup, he had happily eaten a sausage sandwich that hadn't been a sausage sandwich. A piece of shit, they said it was, but how could he know what a piece of shit tasted like, when he had never eaten it before? What was so funny? He wished he knew; he hungered to know, to share in their laughter and understand. That was always the greatest sorrow, that he could never seem to understand.
His wide blue eyes filled with tears, his face twisted up in anguish and he began to cry like a small child, bellowing noisily, still wringing his hands together and shrinking away from them.”

“I don’t blame anyone for getting addicted to their smartphones.
I only blame people for their terrible attempts at reviewing my work.
Vonnegut, Vonnegut, Vonnegut!
He invented the short sentence!
He invented the short paragraph!
He invented jokes!”

“I’m burnt out.
Donald J. Trump was elected to the Presidency of the United States!
So there’s really no point.
Stop hoping that books will save you.
Stop pretending.
Everyone else has.”

“They would fail. We would always fail. We weren’t built to do anything but fail. We had the wrong kind of motives and we couldn’t change them. We had a built-in short-sightedness and an inherent selfishness and a self-concern that made it impossible to step out of the little human rut we traveled…”

“In the same month that Corey extended his invitation for food or caffeine, a major American publisher issued my follow-up to I Hate the Internet. It was a novel that ended up with the title The Future Won’t Be Long.
It was a massive commercial failure.
Less than 300 copies sold in its first six months!
I Hate the Internet sold 300 copies in its first two weeks!
Reader, this was shocking.
If for no other reason than the simple fact that The Future Won’t Be Long was published by Penguin Random House.
Penguin Random House is the biggest publishing conglomerate in the world. It’s a multibillion-dollar multinational corporation owned by another multibillion-dollar multinational corporation called Bertelsmann, which spent much of World War Two producing Nazi propaganda and using Jewish slaves to work in its factories.
My book was backed by Nazi money!
And it still failed!”
