“Most people don't cry when they're upset or frightened, but rather when they're frustrated. Your frustration is understandable. You've been through a most trying time." -Hodge”

“The burden of originality is one that most people don't want to accept. They'd rather sit in front of the TV and let that tell them what they're supposed to like, what they're supposed to buy, and what they're supposed to laugh at.”

Marilyn Manson (1969) American rock musician and actor

“Murderers are not monsters, they're men. And that's the most frightening thing about them.”

Alice Sebold book The Lovely Bones

“People are more dangerous when they're calm. When they're loud and aggressive that's usually an act and usually trying to compensate.”

Cub Swanson (1983) American mixed martial artist

“When most of us talk to our dogs, we tend to forget that they're not people.”

Julia Glass (1956) Novelist, journalist, editor

“People you knew when you were teenagers, the ones who saw your stupidest haircut and the most embarrassing things you've done in your life, and they still cared about you after all that: they're not replaceable, you know?”

Tana French book Broken Harbour

“Most people would rather be certain they're miserable, than risk being happy.”

Robert Anthony (1982) professional wrestler

“Maybe people with special gifts show up when bad things are happening because that's when they're needed most.”

Rick Riordan book The Lost Hero

“Women, they always want you to feel that, y'know, they like it when men cry, they think it's so sensitive. Bullshit. That is a trap. They don't like it. You can cry once when your mother dies. Other than that, keep it to yourself. They know people that cry a lot, they're called their girlfriends, they don't need it from you.”

Bill Maher (1956) American stand-up comedian

“You know that you can't go out there and change the world tomorrow morning. It just takes time, and the realization of that does not produce frustration. What produces frustration, is when you expect the world to join with your cause it's so reasonable. It is not reasonable to unreasonable people.”

Jacque Fresco (1916–2017) American futurist and self-described social engineer
