I always loved browsing such posts on reddit, so thought I should make one on lemmy too

Edit: Usually these kind of posts only used to have excerpts from books or ancient proverbs, but now I am seeing a lot more quotes from shows/movies/games are also resonating with people. It's pretty cool to see.

My second favourite: "Ladies and Gentlemen of the class of '99

Wear Sunscreen.

Whereas the rest of my advice has no basis more reliable, than my own meandering experience."
