Iroh: Zuko, you must let go of your feelings of shame if you want your anger to go away.
Zuko: But I don't feel any shame at all! I'm as proud as ever!

"I made it all up, Double D. Everything about my brother was a lie. I just made things up, so people would like me, think I was cool. But boy was I wrong! The scam, my brother, this... when am I gonna learn, Double D?"
Three months after that memorable day, Warden Norton resigned. He was a broken man, it gives me great pleasure to say. The spring was gone from his step. On his last day, he shuffled out with his head down like an old con shuffling down to the infirmary for his codeine pills. It was Goynar who took over, and to Norton, that must have seemed like the unkindest cut of all. For all I know, Sam Norton is down there in Eliot now, attending services at the Baptist church every Sunday and wondering how the hell Andy Dufresne got the better of him. I would have told him: the answer to the question is simplicity itself. Some have got it, Sam. And some don't and never will.
I like the moment when I break a man's ego.

They thought themselves above mortals. The rules of which they lived their lives not applying to them. But they still answered to the laws of the universe. And if someone used the foundings of the universe to wipe out half of all life, they couldn't do anything. He could only stare in shock as his brother disappeared into shiny particles. Even though they have no faces, he could still see the look of shock and terror his brother gave before finally ceasing to exist. And so finally after eons of thinking he had experienced everything. For the first time, he felt sadness. Loss. Grief. And now he felt emptiness. When his brother was around, he never once felt empty. He wandered through space, without a direction. Just floating. He had never felt any of this before, he wanted to get rid of it.
The young princess and heir to Ur almost did not recognize her cousin as she was right now. Enraged, flailing about. Her pride was injured. Prim was saddened by how she was acting.

She had good intentions, but her striving to be the greatest and thinking that she was were two different things.

Jimmy Garoppolo: Bill Skarsgard?
Burrow: [Still crying] I'm struggling, and I don't know what to do! [The other quarterbacks in the room quickly embrace him]
