Where are these quotes from? I'm really begining to understand & embrace this philosophy.

Hello! This is from the epic cult movie "The Fight Club". You should definitely check it out. Very surreal.

I thought it sounded familiar, I've seen the movie & read the book, but a good while ago now. Thanks for reminding me, I'll have to give it another read/ watch.

This is something I find so tiresome in our society. Everywhere you look is someone trying to sell something to you, every stranger that contacts you is most likely after your money.

This is why I can't live without adblockers anymore

Me too, I can't handle ads, I have to listen to the radio at work & that's enough ads for a lifetime!
