I shall not be "here." As here is ever renewed in the motion of Eternity; it is never the same now, and always inherited from the last.

Some people can't face the world. It doesn't mean they're weak, just scared.

Finka, Rainbow Six Siege

[comradewisdom]

Let any fish who meets my gaze learn the true meaning of fear; for I am the harbinger of death. The bane of creatures sub-aqueous, my rod is true and unwavering as I cast into the aquatic abyss. A man, scorned by this uncaring Earth, finds solace in the sea. My only friend, the worm upon my hook. Wriggling, writhing, struggling to surmount the mortal pointlessness that permeates this barren world. I am alone. I am empty. And yet, I fish.

Andrei Tarkovsky

[comradewisdom]

The thing that led the hosts to their awakening: Suffering. The pain that the world is not as you want it to be. It was when Arnold died, when I suffered, that I began to understand what he had found. To realise I was wrong.

They who've not bled love nothing, and not loved have yet to live.

Nietzsche had, in so many words, a crash course in the problem of evil at the age of five. A horrific and meaningless thing happening to a good person, with seemingly no justification even possible.

All for freedom and for pleasure, nothing ever lasts forever. All men want to rule the world.

Tears for Fears

[comradewisdom]

A word becomes a concept insofar as it simultaneously has to fit countless more or less similar cases — which means, purely and simply, cases which are never equal and thus altogether unequal. Every concept arises from the equation of unequal things. Just as it is certain that one leaf is never totally the same as another, so it is certain that the concept "leaf" is formed by arbitrarily discarding these individual differences and by forgetting the distinguishing aspects.
