from Game of Thrones:

“Do you think I can’t tell Lord Stannis from Lord Tywin? They’re both bungholes who think they’re too noble to shit, but never mind about that, I know the difference."

From Gertrude by Herman Hess.

If what matters in a person's existence is to accept the inevitable consciously, to taste the good and the bad to the fullest and to make for oneself a more individual, unaccidental and inward destiny alongside one's external fate, then my life has neither been empty or worthless. Even if, as decreed by the Gods, fate has inexorably trod over my external existence, as it does with everybody, my inner life has been of my own making. I deserve its sweetness and its bitterness and accept full responsibility for it.
