For what shall it profit a man if he gained the whole world yet forfeit his soul.
-Mark 8:36

"Cuiusvis hominis est errare, nullius nisi insipientis in errore perseverare"

"Any man can make a mistake; only a fool keeps making the same one"

- Cicero, Roman stoic philosopher

People will often accept or even amplify their own suffering as well as that of others if they can brandish it as evidence of the world's injustice

- 12 rules for life, Jordan Peterson

Life’s barely long enough to get good at one thing. So be careful what you get good at

True Detective (TV Series 2014– )

Maybe your misery is the weapon you brandish in your hatred for those who rose upward while you waited and sank. Maybe your misery is your way to prove the world's injustice instead of the evidence on your own sin, your conscious refusal to strive and live

"Anyone can see a pretty girl. An artist can look at a pretty girl and see the old woman she will become. A better artist can look at an old woman and see the pretty girl she used to be.


A great artist can look at an old woman, portray her exactly as she is . . . and force the viewer to see the pretty girl she used to be . . . more than that, he can make anyone with the sensitivity of an armadillo see that this lovely young girl is still alive, prisoned inside her ruined body.


He can make you feel the quiet, endless tragedy that there was never a girl born who ever grew older than eighteen in her heart . . . no matter what the merciless hours have done. Look at her, Ben. Growing old doesn't matter to you and me—but it does to them. Look at her!”

Robert Heinlein, Stranger in a Strange Land
