"When I was younger and dumber I thought I could transform unhappy people into happy people by giving them whatever they wanted, or fixing whatever they thought was broken. This approach worked approximately zero times. Once a dopamine addict’s alleged problem is fixed, the addict still needs the next high. So they magnify small problems into big ones just to feel something. Or they create a problem where there was none."
-Scott
Adams
“The soil of a man’s heart is stonier; a man
grows what he can and tends it.”
“You
learned to accept, or you ended up in a small room writing letters home with
Crayolas.”
“Sometimes
dead is better.”
-Stephen
King, Pet Sematary
“If
I had my way about it, I still would not have published Pet Sematary. I don’t
like it. It’s a terrible book—not in terms of the writing, but it just spirals
down into darkness. It seems to be saying that nothing works and nothing is
worth it, and I don’t really believe that.”
-Stephen
King
“Having
nothing builds character!”
-Hairspray (2007)
"You
know what I like about people? They stack so well."
-House
of Cards
“Frozen
is heaven and frozen is hell. And I am dying in this living human shell.”
-Celtic
Frost, “A Dying God Coming Into Human Flesh”
“Trust
God and the New Republic.”
-Warrior
Soul (My misheard lyric for "Drugs, God, and the New Republic"- mine is more interesting and disturbing.)
“So
how’d you beat him?”
“Time
beat him. Time takes everybody out. It’s undefeated.”
-Creed
“If
a hiker gets lost in the mountains, people will coordinate a search. If a train
crashes, people will line up to give blood. If an earthquake levels a city,
people all over the world will send emergency supplies. This is so
fundamentally human that it's found in every culture without exception. Yes,
there are assholes who just don't care, but they're massively outnumbered by
the people who do.”
