some iconic dialogue that sounds like its from the great canon of literature but are actually from memes
- I will face God and walk backwards into Hell
- “I’ll do whatever you want” “then perish”
- I have been through hell and come out singing
feel free to add more!
- There are no gods here
- Do I look like the kind of man who dies
- God’s dead and soon we will be too
- I thought there were no heroes left in this world
• you kneel before my throne unaware that it was built on lies
- Impudent of you to assume I will meet a mortal end
- This is hell’s territory and I am beholden to no gods
- Bury me shallow, I’ll be back
– take this gift, for the gods surely won’t
- God wishes he were me
- One day, you will be face to face with whatever saw fit to let you exist in the universe, and you will have to justify the space you’ve filled

Let’s not forget that “Jack of all trades, master of none” ends with “But better than a master of one.”
It means that being equally good/average at everything is much better than being perfect at one thing and sucking at everything else. So don’t worry if you’re not perfect at something you do! Being okay is better!
These made me feel better
Also, “great minds think alike” ends with “but fools rarely differ”
It goes to show that conformity isn’t always a good thing. And that just because more than one person has the same idea, doesn’t necessarily mean it’s a good idea.
what the fuck why haven’t i heard the full version to any of these
“Birds of a feather flock together” ends with “until the cat comes.”
It’s actually a warning about fair-weather friends, not an assessment of how complementary people are.
I’ve always felt like these were cut down on purpose.
I really like these phrases and plan on spreading this knowledge.
The early bird catches the worm, but the second mouse gets the cheese.
I want to make designs out of these.
Funny how all the half-finished ones encourage uniformity and upholding the status-quo, while the complete proverbs encourage like…living exciting, eclectic lives driven by choice and personal passion.
