Quotes[]
- "If it hurts us to think about loss, we can think about hamsters in miniature restaurants until it doesn't hurt so much. For example, imagine a tiny hamster and it's ordering a burger."
- "I think that we're all capable of good things and bad things. And if you do bad things, you're not necessarily a bad person. What if 'bad people' doesn't exist? What if 'bad people' isn't a thing, and we should just try to do our best?"
- "My name isn't Lily Hops, it's Lily Hopkins. Lily Hopkins. And I couldn't use my real name as my username, so I shortened it. And my brother says, 'Hops? That's what frogs do!' and then I became a frog VTuber. The End."[3]
- "Nobody starts off talented at anything. If you want to do something, all you have to do is practice at it. That goes for anything in the whole world."
- "If somebody is really good at music, and they keep releasing good track after good track, would they have banger management issues?"[4]
- "I have a philosophy, a personal philosophy. I believe that any person can become one of the best at something. Not everybody can become the best at something, but everybody can become very very good at something. That's what I believe. Yes. Yes. If you're ever feeling down on yourself, or like, 'I just can't do it! Maybe other people have better aptitudes than I do, I should just give up'—you shouldn't just give up, because there are some things that you would be really good at, unironically. You don't have to be the best."[5]
- "I think revenge doesn't make you feel better. No. I think suffering can only create more suffering. Yeah."
- "We can't make fun of people who fall, because what if we fall one day?"[6]
- "It's time."
- "Ribbit ribbit."
- "You can actually just go live in a jungle in real life, if you want. I don't recommend it. You miss out on a lot of the modern amenities. But you can do it. You can still do that. There's still jungles."
