"'You can't live in this world but there's nowhere else to go.'"

This quote has a very deep meaning. He is saying that everyone in this world is sort of out of place, and that they have to live that way. They can't find somewhere else to go to get away from things, everything is everywhere.

"'Fun isn't everything. You've got some responsibilities sometimes, you know.'"

This is a very important quote because it reminds the main character that life isn't just a big game. That seems to be a theme in this book, that you don't have to work or have structure in your life, you just have fun. However, you can't live like that, you have to be responsible.
