“Warriors are people that stand up for themselves. They face challenges. Warriors work hard to achieve goals. They have the discipline to overcome their weaknesses. Warriors are people that constantly try to test and improve themselves. And yes, war is the ultimate test, but not all warriors go to war.”
― Jocko Willink, Way of the Warrior Kid: From Wimpy to Warrior the Navy SEAL Way: A Novel

“Enough to feed an army for a year.” “Or two satyrs for a month,” Newel said.”
― Brandon Mull, Wrath of the Dragon King

“I can’t stand the word empathy, actually. I think empathy is a made-up, New Age term that—it does a lot of damage. But it is very effective when it comes to politics. When Bill Clinton said, 'I feel your pain,' that was a brilliant political move. It was total nonsense, but it worked. I prefer sympathy. Sympathy is a much better word. Sympathy is saying, 'I’m sorry for what you’re going through, I’m going to try to help you.' Empathy is like, 'I’m going to become you, I’m going to feel exactly what you’re feeling.' It’s impossible, it’s narcissistic, and it’s destructive.”
― Charlie Kirk

“CALVIN'S DAD:
What story would you like tonight? We can read anything except...

CALVIN, INTERRUPTING HIM:
"Hamster Huey and the Gooey Kablooie"!

CALVIN'S DAD, IN ANGUISH:
NO! No Hamster Huey tonight! We've read that book a million times!

CALVIN:
I want Hamster Huey!

CALVIN'S DAD, Nearly Pleading:
Look, you KNOW how the story goes. You've memorized the whole thing! It's the same story every day!

CALVIN, Screaming:
I want Hamster Huey!

CALVIN, LYING IN BED WITH EYES OF WONDERMENT:
Wow, the story was different THAT time!

HOBBES, LYING IN BED NEXT TO CALVIN, ALSO WITH EYES OF WONDERMENT:
Do you think the townsfolk will ever find Hamster Huey's head?”
― Bill Watterson, The Days Are Just Packed
