Charlie HigsonI'm sick and tired of being sick and tired, ' said Maxie.'I know how that feels, ' said Blue.'I think some Pharaoh had that carved on his tomb, ' Maxie added.' Yeah? Times don't change much, do they?
About This Quote
Maxie and Blue were talking about the futility of their lives and how they were sick and tired of it all. Then Maxie said, “I know how that feels,” because he had been there before. He had been through it all. Blue asked him if he thought some Pharaoh had that carved on his tomb, and Maxie said, “Yeah? Times don’t change much, do they?” It was a statement that Maxie had heard many times before, because we all have experienced those feelings we talked about. This quote captures the futility of life and time repeating itself over and over again.
