I can't find any actual attribution to Keanu Reeves, but in a meme, a picture of his face said:

This reminded me of Undertoad.. I've noted and admired his continuous effort in this area, over a long period of time, and it's been inspirational to me on a personal level (and I probably never explicitly mentioned this due to being socially inept), but it's like a lot of things he's said that just stuck with me. And for posterity I'll mention the things that I quote most from UT in IRL-- 1) "you don't listen to the music you like, you like the music you listen to," and 2) "eating meat is what allowed humans enough calories to develop a big inefficient brain."
