one of the funniest books i've ever read, The Martian by Andy Weir. Here are a few of the main character's words of (questionable) wisdom:

'Maybe I’ll post a consumer review. “Brought product to surface of Mars. It stopped working. 0/10." '

“I started the day with some nothin’ tea. Nothin’ tea is easy to make. First, get some hot water, then add nothin’.”

“It’s true, you know. In space, no one can hear you scream like a little girl.”

“Me: “This is obviously a clog. How about I take it apart and check the internal tubing?” NASA: (after five hours of deliberation) “No. You’ll f*** it up and die.” So I took it apart.”

“I need to ask myself, 'What would an Apollo astronaut do?' He'd drink three whiskey sours, drive his Corvette to the launchpad, then fly to the moon in a command module smaller than my Rover. Man those guys were cool.”

"The question was so absurd and the way he said it so
ludicrously casual that i had to clench my teeth against a
psychotic impulse to laugh"
[if we were villains]
"I could make a really impressive fire, he thought. Of course, it would only burn for a few minutes and then I'd die..." The Son of Neptune, from the series Heroes of Olympus
Nowadays people know the price of everything and the value of nothing. - Oscar Wilde, The Picture of Dorian Gray

A quote that puts the lack of appreciation for things we consider as a naturalness in a nutshell perfectly.
“the most important lesson that you can walk away with is that the idiots who surround you are, in fact, not idiots at all. Instead, they are individuals worthy of respect, understanding, and being valued.”

Surrounded by Idiots - Thomas Erikson



I think this is important to remember when we get frustrated with others, It’s actually an interesting book if you want to learn a little more about what makes other people tick :smile:
