Through all my life, they were teaching me, completely useless things. School - what a waste of time is it, when it failed to inspire student, to constantly learn, but first and mostly learn about himself. We were learning so much about drunken and depressed writers, about dates when they were born, when they wrote another depressing poem or book, and when their luckless life finally ended.

We were learning about math, geography and history, about all the subjects, but never about the person, who is sitting there, who is listening, who is learning.

Now, there's no need for God anymore, since indeed, we're Gods in this world.

We'll follow only one thing, since our heads, as our hearts and souls are blank, and our faces - invisible, flat, and blank - we're nonexistent. We'll follow only one thing, since we don't see nor feel suffering, and suffering can't see nor reach us, in our golden castles, indeed, we're Gods. We'll follow only one thing, and for it, because of it, we'll do anything. We'll follow only one thing -- our common sense, which tells us, that we need more money!
