What's the underrated quote that will stick with you for life?
-
"Everything you want in life has teeth", by the writer Jonathan Carroll. I believe it means that everything you pursue will hurt you in some way.

Sadly, pretty much all struggles against a common oppressor take on heavy identity characteristics and have the accompanying problems. It's the main reason they don't work immediately.
Anyway, probably "If I can't build something I don't understand it", by Richard Feynman (although the exact wording varies by source). If I write a book that's probably going to take up the first page.
-
I mean, he's autistic in addition to being a bad person, so probably a large collection of people throughout his life who may or may not have even comprehended his side of the interaction.
Comorbidity of autism with severe mental health problems is stupid high.
-
I have people in my life who think my level of patience is superhuman or some shit, but it's just this. Don't think about what you're working towards, just what you should be doing today.
It seems simple to me, but I guess it's not to them.
-
"Don't let perfect be the enemy of good."
I would be so far ahead of where I am right now if I had just decided on a course and committed instead of analyzing all the choices to death.
-
I've gravitated more towards "desire is suffering", but the general place avoiding desire has taken me is not great. That one was probably bullshit.
-
Given his political leanings, very appropriate.
TBH his writing style was a bit adjective-y too, although the world he built is fascinating. (I know less about his many letters and journals)
-
Aristocrats throwing peasants at each other.
Maybe you're thinking of WW2.
-
Do to others as you want done too you. Wouldnt say its under rated just not actually followed by the masses that preach it
-
Plenty of big flash points at current. I think we are seeing capitalism in disrepair, similar to 1920 Europe, world powers are rebalancing and competing for the now very limited resources. The working class are taking the brunt of the hardship and seek real change, and when trump can't make good on those promises we will see a real struggle.
Good luck out there comrade.
-
Rewatched that recently. I was really surprised how dark it sometimes gets for a kids' show. It still holds up really well!
-
IMO some people take this too literally. Just because you want to be treated a certain way doesn't mean other people want to be treated that way.
-
Dad told me when I was young to "learn to drink your coffee black and cold and you'll never be disappointed."
I don't think he was just talking about coffee.
-
Those who don't know history are doomed to repeat it. Those who know history are doomed to know it's repeating.
It's the second part that makes this otherwise well know phrase hit much closer to home for me.
-
As in have low expectations of everything?
-
"Don't follow people - follow ideas" which seems more relevant today than ever before it seems.

This one’s my favourite
