Technically it's not a quote but it's still one of my favorites: Do not go gentle into that good night by Dylan Thomas Do not go gentle into that good night, Old age should burn and rave at close of day; Rage, rage against the dying of the light. Though wise men at their end know dark is right, Because their words had forked no lightning they Do not go gentle into that good night. Good men, the last wave by, crying how bright Their frail deeds might have danced in a green bay, Rage, rage against the dying of the light. Wild men who caught and sang the sun in flight, And learn, too late, they grieved it on its way, Do not go gentle into that good night. Grave men, near death, who see with blinding sight Blind eyes could blaze like meteors and be gay, Rage, rage against the dying of the light. And you, my father, there on the sad height, Curse, bless, me now with your fierce tears, I pray. Do not go gentle into that good night. Rage, rage against the dying of the light. PS- A humorous recitation by Rodney Dangerfield from the 1986 movie, "Back to School". https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mTv1Dmu5CYc

We don't read stories for the hero killing the dragon. We read the stories because it shows the dragon can be slayed against all odds. Storytellers speak of monsters constantly, greedy dragons, stupid trolls, malevolent spirits. At the end of the day, the only monster is the storyteller themself.
Hopefully this is valid: and if not I'll just say this: "What worries you, masters you." - John Locke

A few that are on my mind today. "Piety is doing what your told, no matter what is right. Morality is doing what is right, no matter what your told." - Unknown "The greatest failure in life is remaining paralyzed by the fear of failure." - Elbert Hubbard (might be a paraphrase) "Never argue with a fool. They will drag you down to their level and beat you with experience." - Mark Twain (and it's corollary: "Don't argue with a fool in public, bystanders might not be able to tell the difference.") "Seek your freedom and become captive to your desires. Seek discipline and find your liberty." - Frank Herbert "Respect for the truth comes close to being the basis for all morality." - Frank Herbert
