The average is not a real number. If one fish is fresh water and the other salt, optimizing for the average kills both.

Some let the world shape their dreams.  Others let their dreams shape the world.

If you drop a book a thousand times and just one of those times it doesn't fall, then that is the one datapoint worth looking at. (inspired from "I Origins")

Why put effort into something no one else wants? Because I want it. Is your life dream just to serve everyone else?

The music was playing faster, yet the tempo was the same as before. No, in the dead of night, time was just moving faster. Asleep and awake becoming one and the same.

Your body can only stretch so far, but your mind can stretch forever.

A butterfly lay dead at my windowsill this morning, inside, having been unable to escape to the world just beyond the glass.

Just ones and zeroes? You're just atoms and electrons, but I don't see you equating yourself to the rock on ground.

In the comfort of youth, I long for the worlds beyond.  In pursuit of the unknown, I yearn for the older, simpler days of familiarity.  In realizing the world I seek does not exist in reality, I run away into my dreams, only for them to fade into memories of what I tried to leave behind.  Hence, God created death.

Calling yourself pathetic is not being humble. It's actually being pathetic.

You don't treat two people equally by forgetting both their names.  Equality doesn't mean removing what makes us different.

The world I see when I close my eyes is clearer than the one before me.

This cage that is my mind... The noise and splattered colors that is my reality... What good is it all if no one can see what I see, feel what I feel, in here... You want to escape but not into that world out there.

Why would you not aspire to be God? Isn't he supposed to be the best? Why wouldn't he be your role model instead of the guy beneath him?

You don't help someone by telling them to change their goal.  If you're going to help them, help them achieve it.

Having a person complain while he imposes his will on others is like watching a dog cry while it devours a child.

50% does not mean random.  If you beat a grandmaster chess player 50% of the time, you are pretty damn good.

Overcoming failure shows strength, but strength does not require having failed.

Every person is the God of their own world, just pitted against the will of all others out there.

You seek fairness, yet you'd rather we all fail together and never reach our dream than allow any suffering along the way. How is that fair?
