"People don’t end up poor because they’re stupid. They end up poor because the system is fucked."-Hye-Young Pyun, The Law of Lines
"When does evil intent become evil itself? Is it evil simply to imagine and harbor an idea? Does it begin when a thought is put into action? And if that action fails, then did evil never exist to begin with? If indeed there was no evil, then is it okay to allow bad intentions to make you change your behavior, move to a new place, change your lifestyle? Does that mean that evil thoughts are no worse than a daydream, a mere fantasy? Even fantasies and daydreams can sometimes alter reality."-Hye-Young Pyun, The Law of Lines
