We have always believed that one of the hallmarks of sentience is the ability to look down upon others. It separates us from the lichen. - Catherynne M. Valente

You can’t stop people being assholes. They do love it so. The best you can hope for is that some people, sometimes, will turn out to be somewhat less than the absolute worst. When they manage to trip and fall over that incredibly low bar, they’ll make you want to end it all. But when they leap over it, they’ll make you believe this whole mess really was created for a reason—the bastards. Except me, of course. I’m superb. Ask anyone. And you’re all right, I suppose. Welcome to being a people, kid. It’s just dreadful up here.

Everybody fucks.…Being ashamed of it makes about as much sense as being ashamed of the speed of light.

Failure was here before you and she’ll be here after you and she won’t even notice you go.
