Favorite quotes

This page is a collection of quotes that I think go crazy go stupid. From my experience, you tend to hear the best quotes at the most unpredictable moments. I find it difficult to remember quotes (I actually find it difficult to remember a lot of things) so this is where I will eventually write them down the ones that I did remember. You may or may not see the same value that I see for some of the entries on this page. However, one thing is for sure: I slowly add to this collection over time.

Albert Camus

The welfare of the people in particular has always been the alibi of tyrants, and it provides the further advantage of giving the servants of tyranny a good conscience. It would be easy, however, to destroy that good conscience by shouting to them: if you want the happiness of the people, let them speak out and tell what kind of happiness they want and what kind they don’t want! But, in truth, the very ones who make use of such alibis know they are lies; they leave to their intellectuals on duty the chore of believing in them and of proving that religion, patriotism, and justice need for their survival the sacrifice of freedom.

You can't make someone love you by giving them more of what they already don't appreciate

Richard Feynman

I have a friend who’s an artist and has sometimes taken a view which I don’t agree with very well. He’ll hold up a flower and say “look how beautiful it is,” and I’ll agree. Then he says “I as an artist can see how beautiful this is but you as a scientist take this all apart and it becomes a dull thing,” and I think that he’s kind of nutty. First of all, the beauty that he sees is available to other people and to me too, I believe. Although I may not be quite as refined aesthetically as he is … I can appreciate the beauty of a flower. At the same time, I see much more about the flower than he sees. I could imagine the cells in there, the complicated actions inside, which also have a beauty. I mean it’s not just beauty at this dimension, at one centimeter; there’s also beauty at smaller dimensions, the inner structure, also the processes. The fact that the colors in the flower evolved in order to attract insects to pollinate it is interesting; it means that insects can see the color. It adds a question: does this aesthetic sense also exist in the lower forms? Why is it aesthetic? All kinds of interesting questions which the science knowledge only adds to the excitement, the mystery and the awe of a flower. It only adds. I don’t understand how it subtracts.

Never build yourself up by tearing someone else down

Albert Einstein

If you can't explain it simply, you don't understand it well enough.

Nanami Kento / Gege Akutami

I'm a person who's never gotten the concept of reason for living or something worth doing. I figure I’ll just earn enough money by the time I’m 30 or 40 to enjoy the rest of my aimless life in some country with a low cost of living. It’s been four years since I left the school. Now whether I’m awake or asleep all I think about is money. Curses and other people have nothing with me as long as I have money. Money… Money… Money… Money, money… As long as I have money… Essentially my job… Is to take money from wealthy people and use it to make those people even more wealthy. That’s pretty much all it is. Frankly no one would even mind if I were to just vanish. But people who wanted bread would definitely mind if their bakery was gone. Yet for some reason my job which exists completely outside of the natural human cycle, pays better money. When you think about it logically really doesn’t make any sense at all.

Muhammad Ali

Don't quit. Suffer now and live the rest of your life as a champion.

Dylan Thomas

Do not go gentle into that good night. Rage, rage against the dying of the light.

Erin Morgenstern

You get to live in a game... For so much longer than a book or a movie or a play. You know how you have real-life time versus story time, how stories leave out the boring bits and condense so much? A long-form RPG has some substance to it, leaves time to wander the desert or have a conversation or hang out in a pub. It might not be the closest thing to real life but pacing-wise it's closer than a movie or a TV show or a novel.

Bob Ross

We don't make mistakes, just happy little accidents.
