"I hate that book!"
"You hate 1984?!?"
"I hate the ending!"
[teacher interrupts] "It's not about the ending. It's about the ideas."
"Exactly."
"But it has such a sad ending!"
"Happy endings are stupid."
[teacher] "Even the ending of your autobiography?"
"My autobiography will have a sad ending. I die in the end."
[someone else] "And that's sad?"
"Yeah. I don't believe in heaven."
[someone else] "You have no soul."
"The ending is still sad."

*Not really. But props for trying.
