"Sometimes people can make your day with the simplest of words. Often they don’t even know how much their words mean. Even more often, they mean way more than they think they do."

"At some point the man screaming is insane. Then he’s eccentric. Then, when everything he said comes true, people realize he was the only one who saw it coming."

"Everything has a purpose, clocks tell you the time, trains takes you to places. I’d imagine the whole world was one big machine. Machines never come with any extra parts, you know. They always come with the exact amount they need. So I figured if the entire world was one big machine… I couldn’t be an extra part. I had to be here for some reason. And that means you have to be here for some reason, too."

"A foolish consistency is the hobgoblin of little minds, adored by little statesmen and philosophers and divines. With consistency a great soul has simply nothing to do. He may as well concern himself with his shadow on the wall. Speak what you think now in hard words, and to-morrow speak what to-morrow thinks in hard words again, though it contradict every thing you said to-day. — ‘Ah, so you shall be sure to be misunderstood.’ — Is it so bad, then, to be misunderstood? Pythagoras was misunderstood, and Socrates, and Jesus, and Luther, and Copernicus, and Galileo, and Newton, and every pure and wise spirit that ever took flesh. To be great is to be misunderstood."

"Do not blame Caesar, blame the people of Rome who have so enthusiastically acclaimed and adored him and rejoiced in their loss of freedom and danced in his path and gave him triumphal processions. Blame the people who hail him when he speaks in the Forum of the ‘new, wonderful good society’ which shall now be Rome, interpreted to mean ‘more money, more ease, more security, more living fatly at the expense of the industrious."

"‎I never cease to be amazed how spectacularly people fail the most basic tests of intellectual consistency when it comes to politics. There are people who can start a sentence with bitter accusations of an entire party’s alleged hate of women, and finish it with multiple barking orgasms of admiration for a serial philanderer who habitually exploited his position of power over female staffers and interns."
