Alexander the Great once happened upon Diogenes the Cynic looking at a pile of bones. Alexander asked what Diogenes was looking for, and Diogenes said, "I am looking for the bones of your father[king Philip II of Macedon], but I cannot tell them apart from those of a slave."

They write sentences on paper to express their desire. This makes them feel less alone because they have created another person on the page.

Are we alone? astronomers ask the universe with their rudimentary instruments.

Humans want to find aliens so they feel less alone. They don’t know there is nothing lonelier than an alien.

I can't believe I'm about to quote Nickolas Sparks but uhhh

"In times of grief and sorrow I will hold you and rock you and take your grief and make it my own. When you cry I cry and when you hurt I hurt. And together we will try to hold back the floods of tears and despair and make it through the potholed street of life."

For good measure I'll add some Shakespeare too lol

"I am your spaniel. And, Demetrius,
The more you beat me, I will fawn on you.
Use me but as your spaniel-spurn me, strike me,
Neglect me, lose me. Only give me leave,
Unworthy as I am, to follow you.
What worser place can I beg in your love-
And yet a place of high respect with me-
Than to be uséd as you use your dog?"

“If you believe that your bikini bottoms are panties, then they're panties." - Sensei, Blue Archive (2021)

"Your life matters. Don't regret living. There's nothing wrong with wanting to be happy. Thinking the only way to end your suffering is through death is terrible. You weren't born to suffer. And you shouldn't. No child should ever feel that way. If your world is filled with more pain than happiness... If you're wandering the world feeling like you don't belong in it... That's not your fault. It's the fault of the world you live in and the people responsible for it. No one person should ever carry the entire weight of the world on their shoulders... especially not a child. No matter how many horrible things you've done, no matter how many unforgivable offenses you've committed... It should NEVER be that way. It's not your responsibility. That duty should fall to the adults in your life. ...I'll be the one to take responsibility." - Sensei, Blue Archive (2021)

After the 2014 Bundy Ranch seige a federal agent said "It was a staring contest of steel eyes. I'm thankful we blinked first. Because our eyes will still open."

Some background, the FBI and Department of the Interior decided to use some seriously shady shit to seize the Bundy Ranch, and at one point was literally flying helicopters around a fenced paddock shooting cattle from the copter. They also attempted multiple illegal arrest, and allegedly dragged the wife of Mr. Bundy behind the atv. At some point the conflict paused at a nearby over pass where dozens of armed and angry Right wing militia men and women held the federal agents at gun point. The situation was intense as the 2 sides stared each other down, matters were made worse as Obama threatened military intervention. Eventually it broke down peacefully and Bundys property was restored as best possible. Shortly after Amon Bundy, and his eldest son, along with key members of the militias were arrested and charged with treason, though I believe only Amon was. The court sided with the defense. This was the first in a rapidly increasing military and polarization of the government against one political ideology in America.

-What is love ?
-Go try to find and bring back the best golden wheat in this field, BUT you can only take one AND you can't turn back (after choosing to pick or not)

*Later*
*Return empty*

-I found a few very good ones, but each time i had the thought that i could find better ones so i didnt pick them, but later on, i only found bad ones. In the end, i returned empty handed.
-That is love.
From Socrates.


Used in the (old) webnovel "Mohist tang" that had MC living in Tang dynasty, once did a public announcement in the plaza of capital, that he will buy any book originating from outside the country, at a VERY BIG price. One lucky merchant, had a cheap overused common book about containing the sayings/idioms/stories about Greek Philosopher Socrates, that he kept to pass boredom during travel. MC paid him with a small pile of pure gold.
Soon, he published this story-philosophic in the "newspaper".
Making people be moved by it.
And understand that MC choice of paying so much, was very good decision. But also showing that "outside" also had "sages" that could rival Confucius.

-Move.

If not,
if she dies, i won't hesitate to burn the whole world to make it follow behind her steps.

This moment. This very particular moment.
Gave a glimpse to the bottomless abyss of pure madness of the heart of MC, hidden behind his personality that alternate between clown&kind/ruthless.
That the sole lining that stop him from turning into a full giga psycho bonkers madman like Reverend Insanity MC, is simply FL.


If not, they would likely be identical to a T ; As for example MC nuked stuff, without batting an eyelid and any means necessary is fine, even self-destructing actions to himself for his goals.

"No. Walk here, Anand. Look at this, the tribute to me. To the Free Queen and the Free Antinium. To…us. And remember that this is all that is left. Remnants of glory. Once—we were far greater. We came in so many forms and our numbers would have blotted out the skies. Look at this. And never let it be enough.

When you walk among the Antinium, remember we were more. Remind them of that."
