These Quotes Are So Badass, They Should Be Illegal
Let’s be real: some quotes are polite, inspiring, and safe for work.
These are not those quotes.
The quotes on this list are the ones that hit
with the force of a verbal sledgehammer.
They don’t ask for permission; they state facts.
They don’t seek validation; they command respect.
This is unfiltered, unapologetic wisdom that strips away the nonsense
and gets straight to the point with a level of grit
and power that feels almost dangerous.
Read them at your own risk.
They might just permanently upgrade your attitude and your outlook on life.
