Dharma Bums 179-199

“The sky is blue because you want to know why the sky is blue.” Pg. 183
I liked this quote cause its something they can’t explain. It’s a mystery because they want to know the answer. The children all want to know why and they would probably not understand the real reason. This answer makes them think and creates a mystery.

“this world is a movie of what everything is. it is one movie, made of the same stuff throughout, belonging to nobody, which is what everything is.” Pg 181
This is what Ray says to Psyche. He is saying that everyone’s life is a movie, they are all the same, and something happens it is always the same. This goes back to the idea of suburbia, and that everyone lives the same exactly life afraid of change and what other people will think.
