Memorable Quotes

"Society isn't truth—it's an agreement you were born into. The moment you see that society is an agreement, not a mandatory set of rules, you can step out of the matrix and start creating your own rules within it."

"You don't win the game by escaping it; you win by no longer being ruled by it. Fighting the system keeps it central in your mind. Real leverage comes from seeing the rules without emotional attachment."

"You're not broken, you're not behind, you're not stuck. You've just been playing a game you didn't consciously choose, and the moment you see that, a new possibility unlocks."
