Many ideas only work as ideas. When put into practice, these ideas never work in the real world. But go on, be idealistic. Quote your damn latin (as if the "oldness" of the language makes the statement any more truthful). Quip one-liners to your friends to make yourself seem more intelligent. And no, life working 9-5 paying bills worrying about benefits and your future and those who you love and who love you isn't "fun," but when life comes crashing down around you, I guarantee no fucking pop-culture quote is going to save you.
