OK, so now that I’ve had the chance to dig in my books, this one stands out from Zhuangzi:
To a mind that is still, the entire universe surrenders.
They’ll be dead in the blink of a geological eye.
But I blink a bit faster than that 😭
I quite like the one from the dysfunctional horse show: “It gets easier - but you gotta do it every day - that’s the hard part” :))
“Wanna be sexed up abusive lesbians” I love Class of ‘09 lol
People lived fulfilling lives during the fall of Rome.
These things happen.
The best you can do is the best you can do, and people ask for your input because they don’t know either.
It is what it is
