More From Mark Haddon

We were not having any fun, he had recently begun pointing out. i would take exception (didn't we do this, didn't we do that) but i had also known what he meant. he meant doing things not because we were expected to do them or had always done them or should do them but because we wanted to do them. he meant wanting. he meant living.
Fun Done Should
I don't know if one's more typecasting than the other, or what i am more like. but i know that the high school i went to was a private school. it was prep school. it was a boarding school. so we didn't have a shop class. we didn't have saturday detention. we went to school on saturday. we did have sunday study, which you very rarely get, because then you have 13 straight days of school. who wants that?

People were paid lots of money to make stupid decisions, people in big banks, and when people are paid to be stupid they'll be stupid. the question was, did they know they were being stupid or were they just stupid? i think you need to take it on a case by case basis. there was some sinister activity, but i think by and by it was people being incentivised to do the wrong thing.
Stupid Thinking People
We weren't meant to have futures, we were meant to marry them. we weren't meant to have politics, or careers that mattered, or opinions, or lives; we were meant to marry them. if you wanted to be an architect, you married an architect.

Christianity seems at first to be all about morality, all about duties and rules and guilt and virtue, yet it leads you on, out of all that, into something beyond. one has a glimpse of a country where they do not talk of those things, except perhaps as a joke. every one there is filled full with what we should call goodness as a mirror is filled with light. but they do not call it goodness. they do not call it anything. they are not thinking of it. they are too busy looking at the source from which it comes.
Country Thinking Mirrors
Wayside school is falling down, falling down, falling down, wayside school is falling down my fair lady. kids go splat as they hit the ground, hit the ground, hit the ground, kids go splat as the hit the ground my fair lady . broken bones and blood and gore, blood and gore, blood and gore, broken bones and blood and gore my fair lady. we don't have to go to school no more, school no more, school no more, we don't have to go to school no more my fair lady.

A change of environment is the traditional fallacy upon which doomed loves, and lungs, rely.
Environment Fallacy Rely
O the mind, mind has mountains; cliffs of fall frightful, sheer, no-man-fathomed.
Fall Men Mind
Sometimes it works out well, and certain household responsibilities fall naturally to those who like doing them. for example, my wife likes to pack suitcases, i like to unpack them. my wife likes to buy groceries, i like to put them away. i do. i like the handling and discovering, and the location assignments. cans - over there. fruit - over there. bananas - not so fast. you go over here. when you learn not to go bad so quickly, then you can stay with the rest of your friends.
Fall Responsibility Work Out
Be still, sad heart! and cease repining; behind the clouds is the sun still shining; thy fate is the common fate of all, into each life some rain must fall
