What would it matter if he were accused of murder and then executed because he didn't cry at his mother's funeral?

"Well, so i am going to die." Sooner than other people, obviously. But everybody knows life isn't worth living.

I would make up new laws. I would reform the penal code. I'd realized that the most important thing was to give the condemned man a chance. Even one in a thousand was good enough to set things right. So it seemed to me that you could come up with a mixture of chemicals that if ingested by the patient would kill him nine times out of ten.... the trouble with guillotine was they you had no chance at all.

And it was like knocking four quick times on the door of unhappiness

Basically he doesn't care and nothing matters and nothing makes any difference. He's so plain, without any personality, just gave up on his life and that's to be honest my biggest nightmare - ending up as someone who's neither unhappy or happy. Who has nothing to say. No will to live but yet no will to change anything and just keep going.
