Quotes

• “When someone asked Roen what he did, he explained that he typed incoherent commands that performed virtual tasks to create intangible objects. At the end of the day, Roen wasn’t sure what he did or why he did it—just that every two weeks, he received a paycheck for the hours of his life wasted, building these imaginary things on some server located somewhere.”
• “You’re not being paid to like your work.”
• ““God, he’s trying to kill me!”Doubtful, he is most likely aiming for a non-vital area.“Every part of me is vital!””
• “She is so far out of your league that you are not even playing the same sport.”
• ““The world spins despite me, not because of me,” he muttered.”
• “Enlightenment and peace can never be achieved by force.”
