    Awesome, although I think “Don’t believe in yourself… believe in me! Believe in the Kamina that believes in you!” is probably more motivational than you believing in yourself

    It’d be like the invincible internet version of Chuck Norris believing in you

    Oh and I do randomly shout these kinds of things to strangers, usually just to get their attention in a weird way

    It works great when no-one’s giving you way in traffic, they get so confused when you shout random nonsense at them that they just stop and stare, which gives you a chance to go

    “It takes an idiot to do cool things. That’s why it’s cool.”

    lol, well put. I’m sure these quotes will be put into good use, may it not fall into evil hands.

    In all honestly though, these quotes were tough to find, and even more difficult to rank haha.
