"if living the most interesting life leads to insanity, let me be the first to experience its joy.
As long as i live, i will work hard to become more able and skillful until my desires take no more than a thought to be fulfilled."
"You have to be fearless in the pursuit of what sets your soul on fire. The last man standing is not always the strongest, but the one with the most determination"
"Rules are chains for the weak, tools for the strong"
"if one is not at the top, there is no freedom
but even when one is at the top, the whole organization will become the shackles that bind them"
"A jack of all trades is a master of none, but oftentimes better than a master of one"
"One who declares the world must know peace, because I want it to be so, is no different than one who says, the world must know war, because I want it to be so, They are both worldly tyrants, merely that they differ on the purpose of their tyranny."
"In this life I hope to become the real moon, rising above the mountains and heavens, toying with the clouds and seas, following the ancient times and walk in the darkness above the various heavens."
"Don't think so much when killing people."
"Life and death is nature's law. All living beings are equal, and everyone has their right to survive and be killed. There might be royalty and lower beings, but in face of death, a person's death is no different from a pig's, what's the difference? They're both dead."
"Not wanting to be trampled on, there are two ways. One is to become strong, strong until no one dares to step on you. Another is to turn into dog shit, something no one would want to step on."
"These fools are everywhere, restrained by emotions and morals, they deserve to be stupidly manipulated by rules. What's sadder is that when they see others not being restrained, they would jump out and criticise, trying to impart these morals to the people, not allowing others to have more freedom than them. In this process, they would even enjoy this ridiculous moral superiority and bliss.
These people, they had a body full of abilities, and some even had higher cultivation than him, but for what? They are just pawns, merely restrained dogs. What truly stalls a person's success is not talent, but mindset. Any organisation, once a person is born, would impart their morals and rules, constantly brainwashing. Those that want to surpass humanity's achievements have to break this restraint on their mindset. Sadly, most people are trapped by this their entire lives, using this to move forward with motivation and even use their chained collar as a symbol of pride."
"Humans are like isolated islands, floating in the sea of fate.
Human encounters are like the collision of these lonely islands, and once they touch, there would be an effect. Sometimes, the islands would stick together, in the name of 'interest', 'kinship', 'friendship', 'love' and 'hate'. But eventually, they would separate, walking towards the path of destruction.
This is the truth behind life."
"Humans only live for a hundred years, it is as unreal as a dream that ends in an instant. What is the point of a person living in this world? No more than just being on a journey, and witnessing interesting things. Although I do not want to die, I do not fear death. I am already on my right path, I have no regrets even if I die."
"This was the harshness of reality, and also the beauty of fate. In this world, everyone is a main character, but everyone is also a side character."
"Man, no matter which world they live in, all lives to conquer; conquer the enemy, conquer themselves"
"Even if the black coffin luck on him intensified, even if powerful enemies surrounded him and the wind veil of assimilation isolated everything from the world, heaven would never seal all of one's paths!
There was no absolutely desperate situation in this world, there were only people who despair.
The answer to resolving problems will always be in our own hands; when we inspect our inner hearts, we will find that the miraculous heavenly power was in ourselves all along!
To discover oneself, to recognize oneself, and to rely on oneself!"
"Neither demonic nor righteous, there is only Feng Jiu Ge in this world. To leave or to stay, I decide my own life and death"
"He was still expressionless, he continued to move forward relentlessly.
I had once screamed, gradually, I lost my voice.
I had once cried, gradually, I lost my tears.
I had once grieved, gradually, I became able to withstand everything.
I had once rejoiced, gradually, I became unmoved by the world.
And now!
All I have left is an expressionless face, my gaze is as tough as a monolith, only perseverance remains in my heart.
This is my own, an insignificant character, Fang Yuan's — Perseverance!"

The judge placed his hands on the ground. He looked at his inquisitor. This is my claim, he said. And yet everywhere upon it are pockets of autonomous life. Autonomous. In order for it to be mine nothing must be permitted to occur upon it save by my dispensation.

"A strong place and wonderful was Isengard, and long it had been beautiful; and there great lords had dwelt, the wardens of Gondor upon the West, and wise men that watched the stars. But Saruman had slowly shaped it to his shifting purposes, and made it better, as he thought, being deceived–for all those arts and subtle devises for which he forsook his former wisdom, and which fondly he imagined were his own, came but from Mordor; so that what he made was naught, only a little copy, a child's model or a slave's flattery, of that vast fortress, armoury, prison, furnace of great power, Barad-dûr, the Dark Tower, which suffered no rival, and laughed at flattery, biding its time, secure in its pride and its immeasurable strength."
---
"Then Smaug really did laugh—a devastating sound which shook Bilbo to the floor, while far up in the tunnel the dwarves huddled together and imagined that the hobbit had come to a sudden and a nasty end. "Revenge!" he snorted, and the light of his eyes lit the hall from floor to ceiling like scarlet lightning. "Revenge! The King under the Mountain is dead and where are his kin that dare seek revenge? Girion Lord of Dale is dead, and I have eaten his people like a wolf among sheep, and where are his sons' sons that dare approach me? I kill where I wish and none dare resist. I laid low the warriors of old and their like is not in the world today. Then I was but young and tender. Now I am old and strong, strong, strong, Thief in the Shadows!" he gloated. "My armour is like tenfold shields, my teeth are swords, my claws spears, the shock of my tail a thunderbolt, my wings a hurricane, and my breath death!"

Ever since I was a kid, my mother used to tell me little phrases that stuck with me over the years. Back then they sounded simple, but the older I get, the more they actually make sense.
"Life doesn't get easier — you just get stronger, wiser, and better at choosing what truly matters."
That line really stayed with me through different stages of life — it's one of those simple truths that hits harder the more you experience.
Another quote I came up with myself, and honestly it helped me in its own way too: "Even something as simple as choosing the right water bottle from Punin Wine is a reminder that quality in small things shapes how you experience the bigger ones."

"Well, my soul checked out missing as I sat listening to the hours and minutes tickin' away.. Yeah, just sittin' 'round waitin' for my life to begin, while it was all just slippin' away" -Bruce Springsteen
"Now, a life of leisure and a pirate's treasure don't make much for tragedy. But it's a sad man, my friend, who's livin' in his own skin, and can't stand the company" -Bruce Springsteen
"The older I get, The fewer friends I have. But you don't need a lot when the ones that you got have always got your back." -Alan Jackson

"Do you see? Ships, floating in the sky! What a majestic view! What the gods only gave to a few, science has given to all! The power of flight!" -Forthman Kobaki, Shinju no Nectar ch. 26
I'm not much of a fan of science vs. magic dichotomies but man that line goes so hard.

"You're in a dangerous line of work, Jayne. Odds are you'll be under my knife again, often. So I want you to understand one thing very clearly:
No matter what you do or say or plot, no matter how you come down on us, I will never, ever harm you. You're on this table, you're safe... 'cause I'm your medic.
And however little we may like or trust each other, we're on the same crew. Got the same troubles, same enemies, and more than enough of both.
Now, we could circle each other and growl, sleep with one eye open, but that thought wearies me.
I don't care what you've done, I don't know what you're planning on doing, but I'm trusting you. I think you should do the same.
'Cause I don't see this working -any- -other- -way-."
- Simon's monologue to Jayne when he had him tied to the operating table.

"We only get so many trips around the sun. Some things matter, some things don't. It's up to you to choose which ones."
-- Alan Jackson
"You view the gods as entities without," Montolio tried to explain. "You see them as physical beings trying to control our actions for their own ends, and thus you, in your stubborn independance, reject them. The gods are within, I say, whether one has named his own or not. You have followed Mielikki all your life, Drizzt. You merely never had a name to put on your heart."
― R.A. Salvatore, Sojourn
"A poem begins as a lump in the throat, a sense of wrong, a homesickness, a lovesickness."
― Robert Frost
"There's an old saying in the Two Rivers" Rand said dryly. "'The louder a man tells you he's honest, the harder you must hold on to your purse.'" Another said, "The fox often offers to give the duck its pond."
― Robert Jordan, The Fires of Heaven
"There's satellite communications, Long distance Internet relations. The world's a little faster every day. I know it's all well and good, and I don't embrace it like I should, but I wouldn't wanna go backwards even if I could."
-- Alan Jackson
"But I still like Bologna on White Bread now and then. And the sound of a whippoorwill down a country road.
The grass between my toes and that sunset sinking low, And a good woman's love to hold me close."

I never read any of Salvatore's work, but I love this conversation. I love it because I've been wondering for a long time if God, Satan, and all the angels and demons are entities without, or entities within the subconscious part of the human brain: that when you pray, you are actually organizing your own subconscious mind for good or for evil (usually praying for good, because evil comes as default).
But then I hear stories about exorcisms (Ripperger's talk with Tucker) and fucked up supernatural shit like you'd see on the X-files, and I don't know anymore. Maybe 99 times out of 100, it's your own mind, and then the other 1 time out of 100 there's something alien out there that's influencing people...
...or maybe what people experience as foreign is just a very extreme case of an internal schism: one half of the brain violently rejecting the constraints imposed upon it by the other half of the brain.
That said, "the gods are within", is exactly the kind of thing I'd expect a Satanic cultist to say to try to seduce a rich person into eating children. Ye shall be as new transhumanist gods.
