“fact, things were so bad in the old days that the only way to keep everyone sane was by promising them hope in an afterlife.”
― Mark Manson, Everything Is F*cked: A Book About Hope

“Nolite te bastardes carborundorum. Don't let the bastards grind you down.”

“So, instead of looking for hope, try this:
Don't hope.
Don't despair, either.
In fact, don't deign to believe you know anything. It's that assumption of knowing with such blind, fervent, emotional certainty that gets us into these kinds of pickles in the first place.
Don't hope for better. Just be better.
Be something better. Be more compassionate, more resilient, more humble, more disciplined. [...]
Be a better human.”
― Mark Manson, Everything Is F*cked: A Book About Hope

“The problem isn’t that we don’t know how not to get punched in the face. The problem is that, at some point, likely a long time ago, we got punched in face, and instead of punching back, we decided we deserved it.”
