Quotes About Life Quotes

“Looking at Prim's face, it's hard to imagine she's the same frail little girl I left behind on reapimg day nine months ago. The combination of that ordeal and all that has followed - the cruelty in the district, the parade of sick and wounded that she often treates herself now if my mother's hands are too full - these things have aged her years. She's grown quite a bit, too; we're practically the same height now, but that isn't what makes her seem so much older.”

“Be humble: have the courage to speak the truth.”

“Our brains adjust to both harmony and disagreement. We unconsciously try to please others, we also want to agree with others. Why? Humans value social conformity so much that they'll change their own responses - even their perceptions - to align with the group, even when the group is blatantly wrong. We are wired to conform. Your brain would rather not deal with conflict and debate. It would much prefer to lounge in the comfort of like-mindedness. The instinct for agreement has a huge impact in our lives. It is one of the reasons why in a culture of complaint, we join the fray.”

“Be true to who you are. Don't let the world tell you who to be.”

“Well, if you can accept that I’m a great big geeky fangirl, then I guess I can accept that you’re a skeptic and a realist.”

“So when the Russians got the Germans in their U-shaped ambush, which is the deadliest of all ambushes of the ground forces, the Russian commander said to his men, “Remember what they did to our people, and the German’s sperm inside our woman without their permission. When we get inside, shoot anything that moves.“ ~ The Jackass in The Road.”
