Quotes:
* “The iPhone isolates me and it makes me live my life and perceive the world through the prism of artificial reality.” (Connor, 5:04)* “(A friend is) someone with whom you have no qualms about sharing the entire contents of your heart.” (Connor quoting St. Aelred of Rievaulx, 25:25)* “I have a more general definition of friendship: someone who, if I was in a pickle, I could call and count on them.” (Mike, 28:55)* “I don’t have anybody with whom I have no qualms about sharing the entire contents of my heart, only God. God is my friend, but no one else.” (Connor, 30:21)* “You know how to follow the directions in the video game that is your life.” (Connor on GPS, 35:35)
