"these problems are the good ones to have." from an atmosphere song, where they got it form idk. but whenever im feeling like shits going south i remember this and it reminds me that its not all so bad.
“Laugh, and the whole world laughs with you, cry.. and I’ll give you something to cry about you little bastard.” -Jeff Goldblum - The Great White Hype
We were shown an A&E biography episode on Ray Crock my freshman year of high school for career class and they quoted the dude as saying
If my competitors were drowning in a sea of gasoline, I would throw in a lit match.

“What I’m about to tell you is top secret, a conspiracy bigger than all of us. There’s a powerful group of people out there that are secretly running the world. I’m talking about the guys no one knows about, the guys that are invisible. The top 1% of the top 1%, the guys that play God without permission.”

@zinklog "History loves repeat itself" With Covid , Wars and even daily life you see this so so many times. On big or little scales but this is a almost mantra to me " History is spiral it always comes back to point x" Sometimes it's scary because you know exactly what happened and what happening now can happen again...
Im not wild about this because to often I see folks use something like it to imply something we face now is no big deal due to a false analogy. Like covid with spanish flu. I.E. - I don't need to mask or vaccinate because we got through the spanish flu. Not taking into account its not as bad because of vaccines but without them it is actually a worse disease and that pictures clearly show folks used masks for the spanish flu. Its not just that but with climate change implying it just seems like the end like the cold war but they are completely different issues with different possibilities for solutions.

I don't know where this quote originated. I first heard it from my future SO and it goes something like this
"It is human nature to assume that once we have found the answer, we will find peace. Instead, one must find peace first, then the answer will come."
