"When you base your expectations only on what you see, you blind yourself to the possibilities of a new reality."
― Zaheer (Avatar The Legend of Korra)
"Still waters overcome the raging torrent."

"You think you know how the world works? You think that this material universe is all there is? What is real? What mysteries lie beyond the reach of your senses? At the root of existence, mind and matter meet. Thoughts form reality. This universe is only one of an infinite number. Worlds without end; some benevolent and life-giving, others filled with malice and hunger. Dark places where powers older than time lie, ravenous and waiting. Who are you in this vast multiverse, Mr. Strange?"
― The Ancient One (Doctor Strange)
