Neal Stephenson Quote
Once she gets over the shock of it and settles into a routine, she startslooking around her, watching the other fish-cutting dames, and realizes thatthis is just like life must be for about 99 percent of the people in the world.You're in this place. There's other people all around you, but they don'tunderstand you and you don't understand them, but people do a lot of pointlessbabbling anyway. In order to stay alive, you have to spend all day every daydoing stupid meaningless work. And the only way to get out of it is to quit,cut loose, take a flyer, and go off into the wicked world, where you will beswallowed up and never heard from again.
