To kill a French Vampire you need to drive a baguette through its heart.
Sounds easy but the process is painstaking.

The constant lying is not aimed at making the people believe a lie, but at ensuring that no one believes anything anymore.
A people that can no longer distinguish between truth and lies cannot distinguish between right and wrong.
And such a people, deprived of the power to think and judge, is, without knowing and willing it, completely subjected to the rule of lies. With such a people, you can do whatever you want.

—ARENDT, Hannah.

The struggle against an obstacle inevitably propels the fighter to a new level of functioning.

The extent of the struggle determines the extent of the growth.

The obstacle is an advantage, not adversity.

The enemy is any perception that prevents us from seeing this.

—HOLIDAY, Ryan.

I’d much rather have one great person to talk to every night than have several pointless conversations with temporary people.

How about using that brain of yours, huh? You can’t have your cake and eat it too.

Imagine having a good heart and pure intentions and still being misunderstood!

“i never see you at the club” ok well i never see you on ao3 at 2am reading about the same two bitches falling in love for the 1000th time in the 500th way.

suddenly i don't want anyone to know me as deeply anymore, which is weird because i have always yearned for someone to understand my soul.

don’t forget that it’s your life. it’s not school’s life, it’s not work’s life, it’s not your family or your partner’s life—it’s perpetually your life, for better or worse. what do you want from this life? forget happy, what motivates you to live? why are you here?

idk who needs to hear this but your body is loveable

People who love themselves, don’t hurt other people. The more we hate ourselves, the more we want others to suffer.

Everyone needs three hobbies: one to give you carpel tunnel, one to leave you sore and bruised, and one for your distant relatives to insist you monetize.

Letting go doesn’t mean that you don’t care about someone anymore. It’s just realizing that the only person you really have control over is yourself.

The whole Trump administration can be summarized as "Aliens vs Predators".

Why "stole"?

Santa is an Amazon employee. You can tell because he gets no breaks, low pay, and monitored during an impossible delivery route.

AI sloppers out there just pretending everything we learned about technical debt in the last few decades isn't real.

If you want a picture of the future, imagine a robot kicking a human in the balls—forever.

I consider a fic a slow burn when the characters get together after it's obvious they have feelings for each other. They are circling each other for whatever reason when they both want each other.

Imagine if I did my work. If I sat down and Did it. And it was Done. Can you even imagine such a thing?
