You might be wondering why quotes from a fictional character would hold any significance. Regardless of their fictional status, the sayings of these characters can often remain etched in the memory. Remember, these quotes are actually devised by real individuals. However, this may somewhat diminish the charm, wouldn’t you agree?
Regardless, these quotes that we will be looking at today are actually quite powerful. In spite of the fact that they were not spoken by real people, they still have the potential to change your life. Okay, yes, we know, that is a bit sappy. And yes, we also realize that there is nothing saying that a real person could not have said one of these quotes at some point in human history. For example, the Joker’s famous line is “If you’re good at something, never do it for free.” That seems like a quote that somebody at some point legitimately could have said. Or even Dory’s quote from Finding Nemo, “Just keep on swimming!” A human could have said that too!
So, just because these quotes were made by fictional characters, it doesn’t make them any less valid.
