What are some of your favorite quotes? Could be from anywhere: said in real life or by someone fictional

"Don't be distracted by the what-if's, should-have's, and if-only's. The one thing you choose for yourself - that is the truth of your universe." - Kamina, Gurren Lagann

"I believe that the human spirit is indomitable. If you endeavor to achieve, it will happen given enough resolve. It may not be immediate, and often your greater dreams are something you will not achieve within your own lifetime. The effort you put forth to anything transcends yourself, for there is no futility even in death." - Monty Oum

"Sometimes in life, you try to hit life with a 'hoocha', but then life decides to hit you with a 'hoocha.' Do you know what you do in this predicament, when life hoocha's you? You go AGAIN!"
- Gawr Gura Shark

 

[Magimasterkarp]

“Stories of imagination tend to upset those without one.”

Terry Pratchett.​

“It's not worth doing something unless someone, somewhere, would much rather you weren't doing it.”

Terry Pratchett again.​

“All right," said Susan. "I'm not stupid. You're saying humans need... fantasies to make life bearable."

REALLY? AS IF IT WAS SOME KIND OF PINK PILL? NO. HUMANS NEED FANTASY TO BE HUMAN. TO BE THE PLACE WHERE THE FALLING ANGEL MEETS THE RISING APE.

"Tooth fairies? Hogfathers? Little—"

YES. AS PRACTICE. YOU HAVE TO START OUT LEARNING TO BELIEVE THE LITTLE LIES.

"So we can believe the big ones?"

YES. JUSTICE. MERCY. DUTY. THAT SORT OF THING.

"They're not the same at all!"

YOU THINK SO? THEN TAKE THE UNIVERSE AND GRIND IT DOWN TO THE FINEST POWDER AND SIEVE IT THROUGH THE FINEST SIEVE AND THEN SHOW ME ONE ATOM OF JUSTICE, ONE MOLECULE OF MERCY. AND YET—Death waved a hand. AND YET YOU ACT AS IF THERE IS SOME IDEAL ORDER IN THE WORLD, AS IF THERE IS SOME...SOME RIGHTNESS IN THE UNIVERSE BY WHICH IT MAY BE JUDGED.

"Yes, but people have got to believe that, or what's the point—"

MY POINT EXACTLY.”

Its almost as if Terry Pratchett is my favourite author or something.​

No one is actually dead until the ripples they cause in the world die away...”

Did Dr. Hiriluk read "Reaper Man"?​

“When in doubt, choose to live.”

Very good advice.​

What can the harvest hope for, if not for the care of the Reaper Man?”

Rest in Peace, Terry.​

“Rats are the lowliest and most despised of all creatures my love. If they have a purpose, so do we.”

 

[Gambit]

This is my all-time fave. And I am a fan.

“And, when you want something, all the universe conspires in helping you to achieve it. ”— Paulo Coelho.
