What's a quote that has stuck with you for your whole life?
I always loved browsing such posts on reddit, so thought I should make one on lemmy too
Edit: Usually these kind of posts only used to have excerpts from books or ancient proverbs, but now I am seeing a lot more quotes from shows/movies/games are also resonating with people. It’s pretty cool to see.
A bit crass maybe but it’s always stuck with me. Basically a way of thinking in bad situations that need action eg if you’ve shat yourself, no amount of wishing you hadn’t is going to change the fact that you’ve shat yourself, so what are you going to actually do about it?
Hopefully it’s metaphorical but works on both counts.
There’s a lot to take from Bojack, but I’m not sure I could pin down one sentiment to wrap up the whole show. Frequently, it’s just a good comedy. At other times, the show is an exploration of depression and self-destruction, and I think that’s what makes it resonate with so many people.
For what it’s worth, the first season is generally the worst in the show by a fair margin. It has a few high points, but I think most fans appreciate that the show demands more commitment than many are willing to devote. It wasn’t until into the second season that things started to really hit the highs that made the show stick with people.
I now constantly test myself to see if I’m overlooking the truth. Refusal to admit reality or refusal to acknowledge an unpleasant truth can ultimately hold you back.
Often times, for me, it’s not even a refusal. Certain situations or emotions I sort of just “I’ll deal with that later” and then never do. I mean to, eventually, but just procrastinate it until it’s a legitimate delusion
“The law, in its majestic equality, forbids the rich as well as the poor to sleep under bridges, beg in the streets and steal loaves of bread.” -Anatole France
When you’re screwing up and nobody says anything to you anymore that means they’ve given up on you…you may not want to hear it but your critics are often the ones telling you they still love you and care about you and want to make you better.
“Life happens wherever you are, whether you make it or not.” -Uncle Iroh (Avatar the Last Airbender).
I watched this show as a kid when it originally aired and this quote stuck with me. It’s reminded me to make the best of the situation I’m currently in and enjoy the good things around me.
