Quotes you live by

[Watcher]

I noticed we don't have a quotes thread!

This isn't like the Cwcki Line of the Day where we copy/paste stuff on the forum. Rather this is a thread where you post a quote that sticks with you and makes you think. So much so it might influence your decisions or even stick in your head for days.

I'll start.

“Everything you strive for, everything you love, everything that you touch-will succumb to the slow decay of time, until, at last, only memory shall remain. Finally, that memory too shall fade. You are caught in the cycle of existence, strapped into a ride that races forward unstoppably. Your lives are but a moment in the history of the earth beneath your feet, a flash. Your souls shine brightly, burning out quickly, like newspaper burnt in a campfire.”

 

[Arkangel]

"The only true wisdom is in knowing you know nothing."
