      The weird thing is this actually made sense.

Only then his true self (the firelord that ended the war and restored peace to the world) would reveal itself. It's these small details that make ATLA the greatest show of all time.

      Philosophically speaking, that’s not false. There is a psychological theory, the Persona and Shadow- the Mask, and the True Face beneath. By searching within, one can begin to separate what is truly “you” and what you have set up to defend yourself from the day-to-day world, though you may not like what you find. By finding the balance between your Shadow and your Persona, you can begin to grow as a person.
      You must look inside yourself to save your self from your other self; only then will your true self reveal itself.

      That's why I'll never understand a narcissist. They grip something(or someone) tighter and tighter and in the end, time and time again, they lose what they're trying to hold on to. Yet they never learn from this and only try to grip the Next Thing even tighter.)

    I think Iroh is one of the greatest characters ever created, if not the greatest. His humour, wisdom and kindness is truly remarkable. He’s the kind of father figure all of us need.

    I REALLY REALLY miss the quote from Iroh in the second season, episode 5 in this video
    "You must never give in to dispair. Allow yourself to slip down that road and you surrender to your lowest instincts. In the darkest times, hope is something you give yourself. That is the meaning of true strength."
    One of his best, for sure!

    "No, Zuko, never give in to despair. Even in the darkest of times, hope is something you give yourself. That is the true meaning of inner strength."
    Easily one of the greatest lines spoken in the franchise.

      "Yesterday is history, tomorrow is a mystery, but today is a gift. That is why it is called the present."
      Easily one of the most inspired quotes in cinematic history, imo.
