"Michel: Do you believe that if you tough it out, one day your valiant efforts will pay off? That there's light at the end of the tunnel? Because that's all fairy-tale nonsense. Imeon: You're right—The real world doesn't work like that. Michel: ... Imeon: We just tell ourselves it does because it makes it easier to get through the day. But the fact is, life's a big ol' swamp and no one's got a map. One wrong step and it swallows you whole, like a game designed by a goddamn five-year-old. The odds're stacked against you, but like hell I'm gonna go down without a fight. I've got nothing to show for it yet, which is exactly why I'm not ready to kick the bucket. Michel: ... Michel: You will never have anything to show for it, either... Your desire to make something of your life... will only serve to drag you deeper into the depths. The more you tell yourself you can, the greater pain when you realize you can't."
