“he found himself thinking of Samwell Tarly … and, oddly, of Tyrion Lannister. He wondered what Tyrion would have made of the fat boy. "Most men would rather deny a hard truth than face it", the dwarf had told him, grinning. The world was full of cravens who pretended to be heroes; it took a queer sort of courage to admit to cowardice as Samwell Tarly had.”
― George R.R. Martin, A Game of Thrones

“but everyone is burdened by certain something and they plunge headfirst into hell.
In most cases that something is not their own will, usually it is their environment's or other people's expectations, and that leaves them no choice.
however, but the hell those who choose to burden themselves see is different, on the other side of the hell they can see something.
that thing they see might be hope or it could be just another hell.
But you will never know, unless you keep moving forward.”
― Hajime Isayama, Attack on Titan #97

“أن العالم لا يدخل في دائرة المعتقد من غير أن يفقد اعتداله وصوابه، ولا فائدة من لومه على ذلك، فللمعتقد على المرء، أيًّا كان، سلطانٌ قاهر تتعذَّر مقاومته، والمعتقدات دائمة كانت أم مؤقتة هي أكثر العوامل تأثيرًا في حياة الشعوب، والشعب لا يتم حكمه بمبادئ حقيقية، بل بمعتقدات يؤمن بأنها حقيقية.”
― Gustave Le Bon, ‫الآراء والمعتقدات‬

“man does not stand forever, his nullification.
they all seek their own existence and to assure their existence against that complete atomization into nothingness or into meaninglessness. Man cannot stand a meaningless life.”
― Carl Jung
