Michael Marshall Smith Quotes

You Know When You've Got Nothing In Particular To Do, Nothing To Stay Awake For? When Your Life Is Just Routine And It Doesn't Feel Like It Belongs To You, How You Feel Tired And Listless And Everything Seems Like Too Much Effort?
Well, It's Like That, But It's Much Worse, Because Everything Is Much Worse These Days. Everything That's Bad Is Worse, Believe Me. There Are Whole Neighborhoods Out There Where No One Has Anything To Do All Their Lives. They're Born, And From The Moment They Hit The Table, There's Nothing To Do. They Clamber To Their Feet Occasionally, Realize There's Nothing To Do And Sit Down Again. They Grow Up, And There's Nothing To Do; They Grow Up, And There's Still Nothing. They Spend Their Whole Lives Indoors, In Armchairs, In Bed, Wondering Who They Are.
