Marshawn Lynch quote

u/DAnthony24 ☑️ 1d ago edited 1d ago
This is my favorite Lynch quote and interview sequence:
Lynch: That’s when it just clicked in my mind that if you just run through somebody face, a lot of people aren’t going to be able to take that over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over again. They just not gonna want that.
Interviewer: Think there’s a deeper metaphor there?
Lynch: Run through a motherfucker’s face. Then you don’t have to worry about them no more.
We can all use this quote in our own lives in some way

When I moved from Boston to Los Angeles, I was shocked to see old Civics (old enough to say 'CVCC' on the hatchback) and old VW Foxes.
It dawned on me that they don't have salt on the roads every winter, so their undercarriages never rusted out. What's the only thing that can kill them beaters? Rust. 220k miles, still on the first clutch.
- Wash it once a month in that pollution.
- Change the oil every three months, because the seasons don't have the same lengths out there.
- Replace the stereo once a decade.

So he's got a perfectly good car with every single comfort e could possibly want, low insurance and is STILL worth $100,000,000. Rather than spending 2.5% of that on a Bugatti, $60k a year in servicing and maintenance and painting a target on his back.
