I spent half my childhood trying to be like my dad. True for most boys, I think. It turns with adolescence. The last thing I wanted was to be like my dad.

Here's a list of my favorite quotes not from actual people [most of these are from video games or books] "It doesn't matter how many underhanded tricks a person uses... The truth will always find a way to make itself known. The only thing we can do is to fight with the knowledge we hold and everything we have. Erasing the paradoxes one by one... It's never easy... We claw and scratch for every inch. But we will always eventually reach that one single truth. This I promise you." -Miles Edgeworth [Ace Attorney Justice for All] "The reason for my eagerness is my want to pursue the truth, and my desire to believe in the strength of those who use the power of the law for good. As someone who has chosen to live my life as a prosecutor... that is my new creed." -Miles Edgeworth [Ace Attorney Investigations] "I'm an attorney. I live for unnecessary procedures." -Apollo Justice [Apollo Justice: Ace Attorney] “Kill me. Kill me and live with the memory. Then tell the stars that you won.” -Gray Wing [Warrior Cats, The First Battle] "However. In retrospect, it would have been better had we not met. Thanks to you, I am saddled with unnecessary... feelings." -Miles Edgeworth [Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney]
