Consider your origin;
you were not born to live like brutes,
but to follow virtue and knowledge.
In order to be considered overrated by some, you have to be held in quite high regard by most.

"What is our aim?
It is the use of the constitution for the benefit of the people.
Who is likely to oppose us?
The rich and the corrupt.
What methods will they employ?
Slander and hypocrisy.
What factors will encourage the use of such means?
The ignorance of the sans-culottes.
The people therefore must be instructed.
What are the obstacles to their enlightenment?
The paid journalists who mislead the people every day by shameless distortions.
What conclusion follows?
That we ought to proscribe these writers as the most dangerous enemies of the country and to circulate an abundance of good literature.
The people- what other obstacle is there to their instruction?
Their destitution.
When will the people be educated?
When they have enough bread to eat, when the rich and the government stop bribing treacherous pens and rogues to deceive them and instead identify their own interests with those of the people.
When will this be?
Never."
Maximilien Robespierre (via napoleonofcrimelocked)
“Remember when 4am was late?
Remember when you always had the weekend to look forward to?
Remember when you used to enjoy video games?
Remember when you were happy?”
