of all the star wars movies, which of them do y'all 1) enjoy the most 2) consider the best quality and 3) think you've rewatched the most. add your answers in the reblogs or replies, i'm genuinely curious how much of an overlap there is within everyone's three answers. mine don't overlap at all! they're revenge of the sith, empire strikes back, and the force awakens :^)

Dave: shucks!!!!

Dave: hey, i’m upset about it too, but let’s watch the fucking language.

[philosophybits]

Act like the person you are, not the way they make you act.... Noble people shouldn’t have even an atom of baseness. Nobility scorns villainy. You should be able to boast that if gallantry, generosity, and faith were lost in the world, they could be found again in your own breast.

Baltasar Gracián, The Art of Worldly Wisdom

St. Thomas Aquinas also consider the mean of sadness as a virtue lol

[blackswaneuroparedux]

Αι μεν ηδοναί θνηταί αι δε αρεταί αθάνατοι.

Periander of Corinth

Pleasures are mortal while the virtues are immortal.*

In Greek mythology, the Three Graces were more commonly known as the Charites, although today, the Roman name, the Graces, is more often used. The Charites, or Graces, were three sisters, minor goddesses, and daughters of Zeus and the Oceanid Eurynome.

Hesiod, in the Theogony, named the Three Graces as, Aglaea, Thalia and Euphrosyne. The role of these goddess in Greek mythology was to spread goodwill, pleasure and mirth; and were also goddesses of song and dance, a role that would overlap with that of the Muses.
