“That stuff is always interesting to me and I for the most part disagree with it, that, I can't relate to someone because I'm a different race, I'm a different gender, I have a different sexual orientation. And I always find it weird that people say that, but I'm like, but you're okay playing a murderer. Like, how can you relate to that but not to someone that's a different gender. So to me it's kind of nonsense, and I find that the more a person is real and complex and human, the more I relate to them, no matter what their background. Whatever identity they have.”
Neil Druckmann

Ernest Hemingway
“A writer’s job is to tell the truth. His standard of fidelity to the truth should be so high that his invention, out of his experience, should produce a truer account than anything factual can be. For facts can be observed badly; but when a good writer is creating something, he has time and scope to make an absolute truth.6”
Ernest Hemingway, A Farewell to Arms

Friedrich Nietzsche
“To live is to suffer; to survive is to find some meaning in the suffering.”
Friedrich Nietzsche

Jackson  Crawford
“When a real battle starts, you’ll always find that there is no bravest man.”
Jackson Crawford, The Poetic Edda: Stories of the Norse Gods and Heroes

Kurt Cobain
“Nobody dies a virgin... Life fucks us all.”
Kurt Cobain
