"'Dont you think it's much more interesting just to be like Japhy and have girls and studies and good times and really be doing somthing that all this silly sitting under trees?'
'Nope,' I said and meant it, and i knew Japhy would agre with me, "All JAphy's doing is amuzing himself in the void'" (page 33)
This quote stood out about becasue it was talking about the void. That void that we all feel somtimes that society gives us. That we dont consiously realize is their but it is. That "good times" and "girls" are just our attempts to fill that void. Becasue its easier to fill it and Japhy is conciously doing that he knows he has the void but he also knows that eh wants it to be filled and that. People try to push aside that void and do other things instead like drinking or girls or drugs or somthing that fills the void for a moment but just for that moment because the void is one that cant be filled with material things.
