“What doesn’t kill you doesn’t make you stronger. It just fucks you up something rotten.”

“My parents believe in the principle of ‘sink or swim,’ or ‘what doesn’t kill you makes you stronger ― or it kills you.”From “The Education of Robert Nifkin”

“It’s the same with people who say, ‘Whatever doesn’t kill you makes you stronger.’ Even people who say this must realize that the exact opposite is true. What doesn’t kill you maims you, cripples you, leaves you weak, makes you whiny and full of yourself at the same time. The more pain, the more pompous you get. Whatever doesn’t kill you makes you incredibly annoying.”

“Just because you refuse to acknowledge something, refuse to look at it or think about it, doesn’t mean it’s not there, that it doesn’t affect you and the choices you make in your life.”

“It doesn’t really matter the logistics of how you fuck up your life. It’s what you do to change it.”

“Just because you want something to be true doesn’t make it that way.” -The Host”
