I always loved browsing such posts on reddit, so thought I should make one on lemmy too

Edit: Usually these kind of posts only used to have excerpts from books or ancient proverbs, but now I am seeing a lot more quotes from shows/movies/games are also resonating with people. It’s pretty cool to see.

    “Don’t cry because it’s over, smile because it happened” - Dr. Seuss

    And a recent one - “Your life starts where your comfort zone ends”

        I know it’s a joke and I appreciate the meaning of the original comment, but I don’t think you need to constantly challenge yourself to enjoy life. Sometimes it’s ok to sit back and enjoy what you have and what you know. Just as long as you don’t settle and forget to be open to new things that could enrich that life.

      About the second one, I’d rather follow Pascal who said something like:

      “All of humanity’s problems stem from man’s inability to sit quietly in a room alone.”
