“The most intelligent people disguise the fact that they are intelligent. Wise men do not wear nametags. The more people talk about their own skills, the more desperate they are—their work should speak for itself.”
― NisiOisiN, Death Note: Another Note - The Los Angeles BB Murder Cases

“I am malicious because I am miserable”
― Mary Shelley, Frankenstein

“Each of us is born with a box of matches inside us but we can't strike them all by ourselves”
