We are stardust brought to life, then empowered by the universe to figure itself out—and we have only just begun.
Neil deGrasse Tyson, Astrophysics for People in a Hurry
Blows my mind every time I think about it, this quote. Us originally being stardust & then becoming sentient.
Don’t get angry, don’t get bitter, even though it may be justifiable ~ still don’t do it because it’s not healthy (it will only lead to your own destruction)
Don’t flirt with anger
It’s poison to you
Oh & from the Bible it says quote an angry man’s a fool unquote
Self destruction is not cool and I think anger/wrath leads to it
“I sit beside the fire and think
Of all that I have seen
Of meadow flowers and butterflies
In summers that have been
Of yellow leaves and gossamer
In autumns that there were
With morning mist and silver sun
And wind upon my hair
I sit beside the fire and think
Of how the world will be
When winter comes without a spring
That I shall ever see
For still there are so many things
That I have never seen
In every wood in every spring
There is a different green
I sit beside the fire and think
Of people long ago
And people that will see a world
That I shall never know
But all the while I sit and think
Of times there were before
I listen for returning feet
And voices at the door”
― J.R.R. Tolkien

The gods only go with you if you put yourself in their path. And that takes courage.
Mary Stewart, The Crystal Cave (Arthurian Saga, #1)
That’s dope 
How fortunate for governments that the people they administer don’t think.
Then I will tell you a great secret, Captain. Perhaps the greatest of all time. The molecules of your body are the same molecules that make up this station, and the nebula outside, that burn inside the stars themselves. We are star stuff. We are the universe made manifest, trying to figure itself out. And as we have both learned, sometimes the universe requires a change of perspective
Delenn (Babylon 5) I think NDG is a fan!
What he said 
8“But if I go to the east, he is not there;
if I go to the west, I do not find him.
9When he is at work in the north, I do not see him;
when he turns to the south, I catch no glimpse of him.
10But he knows the way that I take;
when he has tested me, I will come forth as gold.
11My feet have closely followed his steps;
I have kept to his way without turning aside.
12I have not departed from the commands of his lips;
I have treasured the words of his mouth more than my daily bread.
13“But he stands alone, and who can oppose him?
He does whatever he pleases.
14He carries out his decree against me,
and many such plans he still has in store.
15That is why I am terrified before him;
when I think of all this, I fear him.
16God has made my heart faint;
the Almighty has terrified me.
17Yet I am not silenced by the darkness,
by the thick darkness that covers my face.
^^ what he said
Mmmhhh, let’s see:
“It is such a quiet thing, to fall. But far more terrible is to admit it.”
“To be united by hatred is a fragile alliance at best.”
“It is to surrender yourself, to make yourself a slave to a teaching or belief, that makes it so that belief will always rule you.”
“It is said that the Force has a will, it has a destiny for us all. I wield it, but it uses us all, and that is abhorrent to me. Because I hate the Force. I hate that it seems to have a will. That it would control us to achieve some measure of balance, when countless lives are lost.”
Surik: “Kreia, what are you—are you a Jedi, a Sith?”
Kreia: “Does it matter? Of course it does, such titles allow you to break the galaxy into light and dark, categorize it. Perhaps I am neither, and I hold both as what they are, pieces of a whole. Know that I am your teacher, and that is enough.”
Surik: “Then what were you?”
Kreia: “What do you wish to hear? That I once believed in the code of the Jedi? That I felt the call of the Sith, that perhaps, once, I held the galaxy by its throat? That for every good deed I did, I brought equal harm upon the galaxy? That perhaps what the greatest of the Sith Lords knew of evil, they learned from me? What would it matter now? There is only so much comfort in knowing such things, and it is not who I am now.”
―Meetra Surik, questioning Kreia
“When a mind does not know itself, it is flawed. When a mind is flawed, the man is flawed. When a man is flawed, that which he touches is flawed. It is said that what a flawed man sees, his hands make broken.”
“There cannot be two skies.”
“Endure. In enduring, grow strong.”
“There is no room for 2 in the world of 1’s and 0’s, no place for “mayhap” in a house of trues and falses, and no “green with envy” in a black-and-white world.”
“When the injustice is great enough, justice will lend me the strength needed to correct it. None may stand against it. It will shatter every barrier, sunder any shield, tear through any enchantment, and lend its servant the power to pass sentence. …
There is nothing on all the Planes that can stay the hand of justice when it is brought against them. It may unmake armies. It may sunder the thrones of gods. Know that for all who betray justice, I am their fate. And fate carries an executioner’s axe.”
“How can one be immortal, and still die?”
“If there is anything I have learned in my travels across the Planes, it is that many things may change the nature of a man. Whether regret, or love, or revenge or fear – whatever you believe can change the nature of a man, can…
I’ve seen belief move cities, make men stave off death, and turn an evil hag’s heart half-circle. This entire Fortress has been constructed from belief. Belief damned a woman, whose heart clung to the hope that another loved her when he did not. Once, it made a man seek immortality and achieve it. And it has made a posturing spirit think it is something more than a part of me.”
Frodo: “I wish it need not have happened in my time.”
Gandalf: “And so do all who live to see such times. But that is not for them to decide. All we have to decide is what to do with the time that is given us.”

wise man once said forgiveness is divine, but never pay full price for late pizza 
The Ninja turtles were Wise (splinter even moreso)
Forgiveness truly is divine
