Great men are forged in fire. It is the privilege of lesser men to light the frame—whatever the cost.
The War Doctor (Doctor Who)
I’ll let my razor split you till they have to staple stitch you. This n***a took my facial tissue and turned it into a racial issue.
Eminem
Because I have known despair, I value hope. Because I have tasted frustration, I value fulfillment. Because I have been lonely, I value love.
Leonard Nimoy
Do not take life too seriously. You will never get out of it alive.
Elbert Hubbard
We should remember that the pictures we are looking at, these Ur-images of blacks, are a testament to the failure of the imagination (and often of empathy, too, and tell us nothing about black people but everything about what white audiences approved and felt comfortable with in pop culture until the 1950s.
Charles Johnson (Discussing the history of Black characters in comics)
Some men aren't looking for anything logical, like money. They can't be bought, bullied, reasoned, or negotiated with. Some men just want to watch the world burn.
Alfred Pennyworth
I got that 'thing'—that drive. I want more. The goal post go back... "Oh, we're in the endzone?" Move 'em back again. There's another level. How am I doing? I woke up, so now everybody else is f*cked... because I woke up. That’s how I look at it. You all had a chance until I woke up. Today is mine. That’s just what it is.
Roman Reigns
The greatest glory in living lies not in never falling, but in rising every time we fall.
Nelson Mandela
From the moment I understood the weakness of my flesh, it disgusted me. I craved the strength and certainty of steel. I aspired to the purity of the blessed machine. Your kind cling to your flesh as if it will not decay and fail you. One day the crude biomass you call a temple will wither and you will beg my kind to save you. But I am already saved. For the Machine is Immortal.
Warhammer 40,000
I believe that nearly 90% of all of the relationships we have that we call 'friendships' are really 'aquaintences'. To me, a friend is somebody you need because you like them. You don't like them because you need them.
