Deyth Banger
“Pick up artists, and doing pick up it wasn't about harassing women. Being sex offender and etc.
(Please don't take my words out of context.)
It was when the nerd guy in school learn tricks how to be a social cool guy.”
Deyth Banger, How to Talk to Anyone

Michel de Montaigne
“To compose our character is our duty, not to compose books, and to win, not battles and provinces, but order and tranquility in our conduct. Our great and glorious masterpiece is to live appropriately. All other things, ruling, hoarding, building, are only little appendages and props, at most.”
Michel de Montaigne
