Hank Green
“I’m not much older now than I was then, but in a lot of ways, obviously, I’m a different person. So it is easy for me to recognize that I made some good decisions and some bad ones. But it’s telling that, with this, I knew it was a bad idea even then but I still couldn’t control myself. Knowing something is a bad idea does not always decrease the odds that you will do it. If I had examined my motivations on this one, I probably wouldn’t have liked what I found, so I didn’t.”
Hank Green, An Absolutely Remarkable Thing

“New Rule: Don't name your kid after a ballpark. Cubs fans Paul and Teri Fields have named their newborn son Wrigley. Wrigley Fields. A child is supposed to be an independent individual, not a means of touting your own personal hobbies. At least that's what I've always taught my kids, Panama Red and Jacuzzi.”

Kayla Cagan, Piper Perish

Debi Tolbert Duggar
“I have been exceptionally good at making bad decisions all my life. Fortunately, bad decisions make great stories. Unfortunately, most of my poor judgments have involved a man. It seems a shameful twist of irony that a woman's history is usually all about men.”
Debi Tolbert Duggar, Riding Soul-O

“The exterior of the building was designed by architect Rafael Viñoly to have a sweeping curve, but this meant that all the reflective glass windows accidentally became a massive concave mirror—a kind of giant lens in the sky able to focus sunlight on a tiny area. It’s not often sunny in London, but when a sun-filled day in summer 2013 lined up with the recently completed windows, a death heat-ray swept across London. OK, it wasn’t that bad. But it was producing temperatures of nearly 200°F”
Matt Parker, Humble Pi: A Comedy of Maths Errors

Omar El Akkad
“Father said he wasn’t worried. He said Americans are like this, brittle with privilege. Sometimes anger robs them of their senses and they make bad decisions, but in a way this was really just another testament to American greatness—how adept the United States was at surviving its endless self-inflicted wounds. We live in a good country, he said, and it will be good again.

Criss Jami

“Bad Decisions

In the face of the duality of the world, line starkly drawn
The good follow the decree, the bad frowned upon
The rules and desires lived side by side
Who was truly free, and who was straught bide?

In the decisions you make, your path unfolds
Either stradled by the norm, or the scowl of the desires
Living in denial is the perpetual rite
Was the darkness first, or was it the light?

In life, the weight of the bad decisions are akin to levy
They are the simile to the stigma of the society
But ponder, had Fleming not left his lab in disarray,
Would we have the Penicillin and its astounding fay?
Would the harry potter's tales be as elusive
Had Rowling's work not cast aside, intrusive?

The abysmal decisions are the callus to the fractures
The trump card in its dreadful adventures
They aren't the woeful stories or substance
But, a paving tale in the life's grand scheme of nuance”
Dishebh Bhayana

“There is part of us that seems to be little better than an immature child, howling with misery and defeat when confronted by problems it regards as 'unfair.' This part of us is dangerous because we fail to recognize it as a separate entity, and may be unaware of its existence until it has betrayed us into some act of stupidity.”
Colin Wilson, Poltergeist!
