Life
If life is ever a canvas, the body is the brush and the mind is the tip that paints off tint.
The artirt? Some say their own will, while others say God-a child's play.
Anonymity
“Man is least himself when he talks in his own person. Give him a mask, and he will tell you the truth.” - Oscar Wilde

The Big Bang Theory - S05E07 - The Good Guy Fluctuation (Morality)
Sheldon: You know, the German philosopher, Friedrich Nietzsche, believed that morality is just a fiction used by the herd of inferior human beings to hold back the few superior men.
Leonard: That actually does help.
Sheldon: It’s worth noting that he died of syphilis.
Leonard: Screw it, I’m going.
Sheldon: On your way home, will you pick up some orange juice?
Leonard: Do you mind? I’m questioning a lot of things in my life right now.
Sheldon: Is one of those things your fondness for orange juice?
Leonard: No.
Sheldon: Great. Tropicana, no pulp.

Change
"There are 31,530,000
seconds in a year.
1,000 milliseconds in a second.
A million microseconds.
A billion nanoseconds.
And the one constant, connecting
nanoseconds to years,
is change.
The universe.
From atom to galaxy,
is in a perpetual
state of flux.
But we humans
don't like change.
We fight it. It scares us.
So we create
the illusion of stasis.
We want to believe
in a world at rest,
the world of right now.
Yet our great paradox
remains the same...
The moment
we grasp the "now"...
that "now" is gone.
We cling to snapshots.
But life is moving pictures.
Each nanosecond different from the last.
Time forces us to grow.
To adapt.
Because every time
we blink our eyes...
the world shifts
beneath our feet.
Every day,
every moment, every nanosecond
the world changes.
Electrons bump into each other
and react.
People collide
and alter each other's paths.
Change isn't easy.
More often,
it's wrenching and difficult.
But maybe that's a good thing.
Because it's change
that makes us strong.
Keeps us resilient.
It teaches us to evolve." - Jake (Touch S01E12)
Sacred Scripture
"I believe the whole thing to be outdated thinking. Mankind evolves. Sacred writings should evolve along with it. The world today is not what it was 4,000 years ago." - Abraham (Touch S01E11)

Free Will
"Well, of course you have a choice. Although we live in a deterministic universe, each individual has free will. Now, sit down." - Sheldon Cooper (The Big Bang Theory - S03E16)

William - Fringe s04e22
God made us in his image.
If that is so, if we are capable of being Gods,
then it is our destiny to do so...
...My dear friend,
even if you deny it now, you have always
been playing God. I am.

Ideal
"An ideal should only remain as one if it continues to make a person better, not the same."

The best teacher
The best teachers don't give you the answers, they just point the way and let you make your own choices. Your own mistakes. That way you get all the glory and you deserve it. - Will Schuester; Glee s01e12

Mavis - Fairy Tail 112
Mistakes are not shackles that halt one from stepping forward. Rather, they are that which sustain and grow one's heart.

Makarov - Fairly Tail 102
There are people in this world who would prefer solitude. But there is no one who can withstand it.

You reap what you sow.
You reap what you sow.
This means that if you do bad things to people, bad things will happen to you, or good things if you do good things. It is normally used when someone has done something bad.
WHY?
Gildarts - Fairy Tail 99
Very few have the courage to sheathe their sword once it's out.
Fear is not evil...
It tells you what your weakness is. And once you know your weakness, you can become stronger as well as kinder.

"Motives don't matter. Only actions. Trying is an action.." - House S08E22

HOUSE:
And you're doing this
because you're dying?
PATIENT:
I'm doing this because
I have nothing left to lose..
HOUSE:
So when you were living,
you did nothing for anyone
and you didn't care.
Now that you're dying,
you're willing to help
a virtual stranger.
Which means you're
a better person dying
than you ever were living,
and the world
is a better place
because I didn't
save you..

Llyod - Breakout Kings
"I was the recipient of
some just awful advice.
It was well-intentioned but, uh...
completely ill-fitting for me.
Julianne.
I feel like...
...every relationship or... or pairing
is unique, you know.
I mean, look at Rodney and Lorraine
and what they went through to be together,
and I realize that the only advice
that I should have heeded
is Alfred Lord Tennyson's
because I think it is better
to have loved and lost
than to never have loved at all.
And I just want to tell you...
...that I love you.
You don't have to say anything...
but if you did, if you
did feel the same way
or if, um, if you felt like someday
in the future you might
feel the same way...
...just walk by my desk where
I'm sitting and, um...
...put this number two
pencil down in front of me.
Then I'll know.
Or don't-- I mean,
what-whatever makes you
feel more comfortable.
But I need to say what I just said...
and... I'm glad that I did." - Lloyd Lowery (Breakout Kings s02e07)
