PROSE - Vernon God Little DBC PIERRE Flashcards
No matter how noisy and busy a life is, all have same outcome.
“For all the sirens, game-show buzzers, and drum-rolls of life, it is the nature of men to die quietly.”
No hope to escape oppression by society
“Don’t be lookin up at no sky for help. Look down here, at us twisted dreamers.”
Feels can never accomplish dreams, unreachable
“Aim for a million bucks, you suddenly need a billion. I upgraded my computer, but it wasn’t enough. No matter what, it ain’t fucken enough in life, that’s what I learned”
Comparing innocent to the non-innocent showing can share the one identity despite their actions
“Remember there are only two kinds of people in your position: glorious, powerful boys, and prisoners.”
Brought down by society, permanent affect.
“One design has ‘I survived Martirio’ splattered across it in red.” (tshirt)
Materialism overtaking life/central
“I just stare at my Nikes”
