“Fine’s a funny word, don’t you think? I don’t think there’s another like it in the English language
that says so much while actually saying so little. How many wives have told their husbands, “I’m
fine,” when they really mean, “I want to cut your balls off with a butcher knife”? How many men have
told their girlfriends, “You look fine,” when they really mean, “You need to go back to the gym and
work out—a lot.” It’s the universal way of saying we’re just peachy—when we’re really anything
but.”
― Emma Chase, Tangled

“A lesson taught with humor is a lesson retained.”

“I've built something valuable here. But valuable things also have a way of being misunderstood in their own time. Everyone wants a quick fix. We're tired of being afraid, tired of being sad, tired of feeling overwhelmed, tired of feeling tired. We want the old day back, and we don't even remember them, and we want to push into the future, paradoxically, at top speed. Patience and forbearance become the first casualties of progress.”
― Dennis Lehane, Shutter Island

“I used to think that was what set me apart, you know? That I always did what I thought was right and didn't give much thought to consequences. But I think now it was just ego - that I'm no different than anybody else. Maybe everybody always does what they think is right and it's all just a matter of what you tell yourself the high ground is”
