I have a whiteboard in my little office, and sometimes I think or read a good quote. It's been going for many years now.
We're nothing and there's no meaning but what comes from within
This is the core truth
This is how you know lies
How can you make a world better than them if the only difference between you is which side of the battlefield you stand on?
Of every ten people, one will do the right thing, one will do the wrong, and eight will do the easy. Make good easy and you'll have a good world.
Sometimes you have to "do things". Bad things. That's not the problem. The problem is getting used to it. Because if you can stand doing one more bad thing forever, you have become evil.
Sometimes the only way to vanquish evil is a sacrifice. But it must be self-sacrifice. Because if you sacrifice others to vanquish your evil, you have not vanquished it; you have moved it.
A moral soul feels at home being moral
A clever soul finds advantageous to be moral.
I met the ineffable; called it an asshole.
Just because you live in a simulation doesn't mean that you are more than the smaller accident.
The author is god of the work, and god is dead.
If you believed that, you are deluded
If you thought that up, you are a moron
If you are trolling me, you are an asshole
Anything that dies under the cold light of truth, must.
Evil? Sure. Petty? Never.
A society grows great when old men start works they won't get to use.
Under any kind of moral calculus all is nothing compared to infinity.
Somewhere in the last five minutes we crossed the line. Let's keep going and see where it ends.
When life gives you lemons, make grape juice. Then sit back and smile as life tries to understand how you did it.
Nothing lives forever, but we deserve to choose how long.
You can understand the size of the world as well as anything else. You might not have an useful emotional reaction to it, though.
Forgiveness is not something that can be earned. It is given, or not.
Depression
Dissociation
Dysphoria
Depersonalization
NO
Say "please", assholes.
The fandom is as dead as the author.
Truth is what remains when you are no longer there.
Punch in the mouth in case of:
Not my circus, not my monkeys.
Kindness is emerging phenomena.
Despicable death-deserving dirtbag.
It doesn't matter if you have friends or enemies.
Good people have peers.
Bad people have tools.
All paths end.
What matters is how you walk them.
My face is made of mirrors, and you have been looking into it for too long.
With open hands, I hold a mountain.
With closed fists, I hold a pinch.
Because my family is the reason I go to therapy.
If you change into a whole-new better person, I will accept them; but you, I will never forgive.
If I were never to hide what I feel, always to confess to people… do you have any idea of how many times I would say "I hate you?".
You know what's the worst?
It's when you feel so low that you start thinking that maybe your parents were
right and you are a horrible person.
So you force yourself to relive every fucked up thing they did to you to remind
yourself that no, they are horrible.
Remember what you don't owe.
You don't have to take her calls.
Be a bother.
Love is not a feeling; it's a behavior.
Kill your parents.
Marry your best friends.
Set your children free.
If your help was water and I was lost in the desert, I would keep walking in search of an oasis until I fell dead.
Stuff related to the Clockmaker lore, which loses a lot of context in isolation but is still there.
For freedom,
at the price of yourself,
destroy anything.
I am Hatred made manifest.
I am Horror given shape.
I am Pain, and Shame and Blame.
---Emperor of Nothing
Stuff related to the Last Scions lore. Just like Clockmaker, the context is probably missing.
Six words and a knife.
Be gentle. Be good. Until they have no choice but forgiving you. But recognizing that you are the better person. I will kill them.
If you sincerely believe that in all your life you have never found a child of the Red that does not deserve this I'll call you a liar so hard that your divinity will wither and die.
Was It Worth It?
If this fixes all our problems, why haven't the Endless already done it?
According to the ancient legal principle of "I Was Here First" Caleb is probably right, so we have to be clever.
The thing about snakes? They can mean many things: poison, healing, corruption, communication, whispered truths, medicine, wisdom, eternity…
