What's a quote that has stuck with you for your whole life?
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.

“A journey will have pain and failure. It is not only the steps forward that we must accept. It is the stumbles. The trials. The knowledge that we will fail. That we will hurt those around us.
But if we stop, if we accept the person we are when we fail, the journey ends. That failure becomes our destination.”
Dalinar Kholin, from the Stormlight Archive
Journey before destination.
I read this as we're all gonna die someday, the destination is the same, the path there is the important part.
Great point.
The most important step a man can take? It’s not the first one, is it? It’s the next one. Always the next step, Dalinar.
Honestly, there's so many fantastic quotes from Dalinar in this book, it was hard to limit myself to just one.
Yeah, absolutely, that one stuck with me and helped me through some hard times but there's so many other good quotes that I'll never forget.
If I must fall, I will rise each time a better man.
