Women made the coffee while the others did the talking; they were the ones who typed the letters.”

“Most folks don't see the wrong in their actions because they hang around people that normalise it.
They move recklessly, lie without hesitation, and betray without a second thought because their circle enables it.
In their world, this is normal. And the thing is, if you spend enough time in the mud, you just stop noticing the smell.

“Most folks got Id and Ego living on different floors in their head’s house, in different rooms, and they’ve locked all the doors between them, and nailed sheets of plywood over that, because they think they’re, like, sworn enemies that can’t hang together.
Ro thought the whole subconscious/conscious issue had something to do with why I am the way I am. She said I have the neurological condition synesthesia out the ass, with all kinds of cross regions of my brain talking to each other. Old witch was always psychoanalyzing me (as in she was the psycho and I was being analyzed). She said my Id and Ego are best buds, they don’t just live on the same floor, they share a bed.
I’m cool with that. Frees up space for other stuff.
I take off, tune out, and do what I do best.
Kill.”

“Most folks greet confusion with surrender. Most people, when they don’t know what to do, do nothing. The average person meets an obstacle and tells himself, "This is not for me," or "I am
not the kind of person who does things like this." Average people respond to confusion in an average way. They stop. But people who achieve extraordinary results think differently. They understand something very significant about confusion.
Confusion precedes learning. The anxious thoughts that seem so puzzling or discouraging are actually your very gateway to understanding. Only by persistently doing battle with the things you cannot yet do or that which you do not yet understand can you ever hope to achieve what average people never accomplish.
A sign of a person’s maturity is his ability to live with — even in — confusion. The average person meets the edge of confusion and turns away. He runs from confusion at its beginning, at its first appearance. He will not live with or even near confusion and seeks an easier path.
The mature person—the high achiever — will understand that life’s grand prizes are guarded by confusion. The mature person senses the victory that exists beyond confusion and says, "I cannot do this... yet. I am not good at this yet, but I will work and learn and become better until I am competent, then excellent, then great! I will struggle and persist through confusion until I break through to the understanding or greater skill required for victory."
It's a thought process. It opens up new possibilities for almost everything. The whole concept of "confusion before learning" means that confusion guards the answers we seek. You've got to be willing to enter into and do battle with the confusion in order to reach the victory on the other side... to take your life in a new and incredible direction.”

“Most folks, when they see movies or hear records, need something that they find pulls them in, draws them in, and appeals to them beyond just the notes. For a record to be memorable and great, it has to have something of this quality. Exactly what that is, I don't know, but I think it has something to do with an atmosphere, an environment that is appealing and attractive. And the people that inhabit this environment have... almost a message for the rest of the world.”
“Most follow paths because it’s easier. I create my own to remind others they can too.”
“Most food you drop is still perfectly edible. If it was in your eyesight the whole time, you can pick it up and eat it.”

“Most foreign nations, whether through media, documentary channels, influencers, politicians, or celebrities, come to our countries with an agenda. They aim to dehumanize us, humiliate us, mock us, offend us, ridicule us, undermine us, and disrespect us. They often show only the negative side of our country, focusing on flaws and spreading negativity.
Why can they not be biased? Just show our daily lives while respecting our boundaries, culture, and standards of living. Appreciating and accepting our culture and differences. Not filtering out the good to highlight the bad or create lies about us to make themselves look good or superior.”
“Most forgers are caught because they tell the wrong person about what they do.”
