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.

aliceblossom,

With all of the time I have, I am an insult to the dead.

In context, the person is saying they feel like they are wasting their life and that innumerable people in the past would’ve killed to have the kind of free time or life they have.

It reminds me to be grateful for both the time I have alive and the quality of that time.

I find it extremely motivating in pursuing my various personal pursuits. I should seem like a Renaissance master to the people of the past and anything less is insulting.

Saigonauticon,

I only concern myself with ‘how’. ‘Why’ is a question for philosophers and cowards, of which I am neither.

kofe,

There’s only two things that matter in life: who you choose as your friends and where you stick your pecker.

dudebro,

Real ‘git’er done’ vibes here.

lingh0e,

So much of the dialog is Deadwood is absolutely brilliant, but one scene really stuck with me.

“Pain or damage don’t end the world, or despair or fuckin’ beatin’s. The world ends when you’re dead. Until then, you got more punishment in store. Stand it like a man — and give some back.”

Ian McShane deserved an Emmy for his work as Al Swearengen. That slow stare at the end of the scene alway kills me. I know it’s supposed to be a drama, but they really go for some laughs.

dudebro,

I don’t like that at all.

Sounds like someone who lacked compassion because it was never given to them.

lingh0e,

You’re not wrong.
