Dharma Bums 120-149

"Everything is possible. I am God. Iamn Buddah, I am an imperfect Ray Smith..." pg 122
I liked this quote because when he said it he seemed to be very content. Even though he was alone on Chistmas. He says he is imperfect. God and Buddah in the eyes of money are the one they look up to. The head of their whole relgion he says he is both of these relgious figures and an "imperfect" Ray Smith.

"And you know I say funny bit there's sumpthin so durned sensible about 'em. Here I am killin myself drivin this rig back and forth from Ohio to L.A. and I make more money than you ever had in your whole life as a hobo, but you're the one who enjoys life and not only that but you do it without workin or a whole lot of money. Now who's smart, you or me?" pg 129
This quote shows the difference between the two mens life styles. I could not say wich is better having not lived either. They both live differnet lifes and are both gaining something from it. The truck driver has a constant supply of money and never has to worry about it. But is he enjoying life as much as Ray.
