Some people are pirates... Some people are soldiers... Others, scientists. Some guys are killers and thieves. Some folks (only the gods know why) are politicians.

Not me.

I mine stuff.

It's gettin' awful crowded in my sky...

We’re the middle children of history, man. No purpose or place. We have no Great War. No Great Depression. Our Great War’s a spiritual war… our Great Depression is our lives. We’ve all been raised on television to believe that one day we’d all be millionaires, and movie gods, and rock stars. But we won’t. And we’re slowly learning that fact. And we’re very, very pissed off.

Yes, that was Chuck Palaniuk. Still pretty apt, no?

Live with a man 40 years. Share his house, his meals. Speak on every subject. Then tie him up, and hold him over the volcano's edge. And on that day, you will finally meet the man.

(Also a quote)

... Unless you live with me. I mine stuff. That would be pretty evident, pretty fast.

Oh, I guess I build ships some times, too.

But mostly, I mine.
