Wer zu Lebzeit gut auf Erden
Wird nach dem Tod ein Engel werden
Den Blick gen Himmel fragst du dann
Warum man sie nicht sehen kann

Till Lindemann, Rammstein, Engel

Who was good during their life on Earth
And would become an angel after death?
The view of Heaven you then question
Why can one not see it?

Uh, not really.

Who was good during their life on Earth
Will become an angel after death
Looking up to the sky (or Heaven, both work, really) you then wonder
Why you can't see them

On life, death, and the trip from the one to the other:

Tomorrow, and tomorrow, and tomorrow,
Creeps in this petty pace from day to day
To the last syllable of recorded time,
And all our yesterdays have lighted fools
The way to dusty death. Out, out, brief candle!
Life’s but a walking shadow, a poor player
That struts and frets his hour upon the stage
And then is heard no more. It is a tale
Told by an idiot, full of sound and fury,
Signifying nothing.

  • William Shakespeare, Macbeth V.v.

Probably my favorite quote (though he has many I love):

Out of suffering have emerged the strongest souls; the most massive characters are seared with scars.

And now for my weeb entry that doesn't really fall into any category's

I realized one morning... That I hate this world. This world is made of countless boxes. People bend and stuff their bodies into their own boxes. And stay there for the rest of their lives. And eventually, inside the box, they forget: what they looked like; what they loved; who they loved. That's why I'm getting out of my box. I'm one of the chosen. That's why I'm going to destroy this world. Sanetoshi Watase, (Mawaru Penguindrum)

You gotta let go of this whole self thing. Identity changes by the second, you turn into someone else every time a new thought rewires your brain. ― Peter Watts, Echopraxia

Brains are survival engines, not truth detectors. If self-deception promotes fitness, the brain lies. Stops noticing—irrelevant things. Truth never matters. Only fitness. By now you don’t experience the world as it exists at all. You experience a simulation built from assumptions. Shortcuts. Lies. Whole species is agnosiac by default. ― Peter Watts, Blindsight

The important things in life, like feelings, hearts, and souls, are all things you can never see. The more you try to reassure yourself that they exist, the more you feel they don't exist at all. But right now, I know for sure that they do exist. They're so close, you can almost touch them.

Science:
“The perfect being, huh? There is no such thing as perfect in this world. That may sound cliché, but it’s the truth. The average person admires perfection and seeks to obtain it. But, what’s the point of achieving perfection? There is none. Nothing. Not a single thing. I loathe perfection! If something is perfect, then there is nothing left. There is no room for imagination. No place left for a person to gain additional knowledge or abilities. Do you know what that means? For scientists such as ourselves, perfection only brings despair. It is our job to create things more wonderful than anything before them, but never to obtain perfection. A scientist must be a person who finds ecstasy while suffering from that antimony. In short, the moment that foolishness left your mouth and reached my ears, you had already lost. Of course, that’s assuming you are a scientist”

This one is pretty widely known quote, but it's the first one that popped in my thoughts. I suppose this one fits under "difficult times", and it still speaks volumes considering the times we live right now.

So, first of all, let me assert my firm belief that the only thing we have to fear is...fear itself — nameless, unreasoning, unjustified terror which paralyzes needed efforts to convert retreat into advance.
