“The fake is of far greater value. In its deliberate attempt to be real, it's more real than the real thing.”
― Deishuu Kaiki

“Men are disturbed not by things, but by the views which they take of things. Thus death is nothing terrible, else it would have appeared so to Socrates. But the terror consists in our notion of death, that it is terrible. When, therefore, we are hindered, or disturbed, or grieved let us never impute it to others, but to ourselves; that is, to our own views. It is the action of an uninstructed person to reproach others for his own misfortunes; of one entering upon instruction, to reproach himself; and of one perfectly instructed, to reproach neither others or himself.”
― Epictetus Epictetus, The Enchiridion of Epictetus

“Essentially, people live in one of two ways. Either they live in awareness of their own worthlessness, or they live in their awareness of the worthlessness of the world. Two ways. Either you allow your value to be absorbed by the world, or you chisel away at the world's value and make it your own. Which should take precedence, the value of the world your own value?”

“Humans have a desire for truth. Or they have a desire to believe that what they know is the truth. In other words, the actual truth comes second to that desire. Be mindful of what is the truth and what is a lie. In other words, always doubt yourself. Harbor an inner devil's advocate as you read along... And I won't forget to add that by that point, you might have already fallen into my trap.”
― NisiOisiN

“I like money. You know why? Because money can replace everything. It lets you buy things. It lets you buy lives. It lets you buy people. It lets you buy hearts. It lets you buy happiness. It lets you buy dreams. I love money because it’s so important and yet not irreplaceable. So looking at it the other way around, I hate irreplaceable things 'I can’t live without this' 'That’s the only reason I'm alive' 'That’s my only purpose in life' Things that have scarcity value like that piss me off the most.”
