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.

      Never wrestle with pigs. You both get dirty and the pig likes it. George Bernard Shaw

      Also copy/pasted from Goodreads, so not guaranteeing the accuracy that Shaw originally said it. Also usually worded in a more fun way.
