- 'The Ugliest Woman'?
Well, I was just scrolling down in Youtube, as usual of course but let's not talk about that and I came across this video that is called 'The Ugliest Woman'. The ugliest woman? That woman was beautiful. She was magnificent. And even if she looks bad, it doesn't matter. Like I always said looks doesn't matter, only the inside. What I meant is, for example: You are the most magnificent girl in history, but if you aren't nice, you don't matter. So basically, have a kind heart. That's a tip.

- Artificial Intelligence Explained
Artificial intelligence is the simulation of human intelligence in devices that have been designed to behave and think like humans. The phrase can also be used to refer to any computer that demonstrates characteristics of the human mind, like learning and problem-solving. They can, for instance, defeat a human in chess or recognise objects.
Ayn Rand
Individual rights are not subject to a public vote; a majority has no right to vote away the rights of a minority; the political function of rights is precisely to protect minorities from oppression by majorities (and the smallest minority on earth is the individual).
Eleanor Roosevelt
Too often the great decisions are originated and given form in bodies made up wholly of men, or so completely dominated by them that whatever of special value women have to offer is shunted aside without expression.
Eleanor Roosevelt
I once had a rose named after me and I was very flattered. But I was not pleased to read the description in the catalogue: no good in a bed, but fine up against a wall.

- Bonedog
Coming home is terrible, whether the dogs lick your face or not; whether you have a wife or just a wife-shaped loneliness waiting for you. Coming home is terribly lonely, so that you think of the oppressive barometric pressure back where you have just come from with fondness, because everything's worse once you're home. You think of the vermin clinging to the grass stalks, long hours on the road, roadside assistance and ice creams...
Kevan Edan, Fiona Apple
- When The Pawn...
When the pawn hits the conflict he thinks like a king. What he knows throws the blows when he goes to the fight and he'll win the whole thing 'fore he enters the ring. There's no body to batter when your mind is your might! So when you go solo, you hold your own hand and remember that depth is the greatest of heights. And if you know where you stand, then you know where to land and if you fall it won't matter, 'cuz you'll know that you're right!

- Talent is Overrated: What Really Separates World-Class Performers...(part 1)
Self-regulation begins with setting goals. These are not big, life-directing goals, but instead are more immediate goals for what you're going to be doing today. In the research, the poorest performers don't set goals at all; they just slog through their work. Mediocre performers set goals that are general and are often focused on simply achieving a good outcome - win the order; close out my positions at a profit; get the new project proposal done.

- Dreams from My Father: A Story of Race and Inheritance
The study of law can be disappointing at times, a matter of applying narrow rules and arcane procedure to uncooperative reality; a sort of glorified accounting that serves to regulate the affairs of those who have power - and that all too often seeks to explain, to those who do not, the ultimate wisdom and justness of their condition. But that's not all the law is. The law is also memory; the law also records a long running conversation, a nation arguing with its conscience.

I don't know what could constitute hardest but "stewardesses" and "johnny-jump-up" are commonly mentioned as hard to type because they don't alternate hands. I'm not sure if anyone's figured out one based on travel distance.
Oscar Wilde
- An Ideal Husband
Fashion is what one wears oneself. What is unfashionable is what other people wear. Just as vulgarity is simply the conduct of other people. And falsehoods the truths of other people. Other people are quite dreadful. The only possible society is oneself. To love oneself is the beginning of a life-long romance.
Oscar Wilde
- Glass Half Empty
An optimist will tell you the glass is half-full; the pessimist, half-empty; and the engineer will tell you the glass is twice the size it needs to be.

Some tumors can grow teeth and hair. People's general happiness peaks at 21, and doesn't reach that level again until they retire. In 1939, 835 sheep in the US were killed by a single lightning strike. Over 50% of commercial pilots have admitted to falling asleep while flying a plane.
Lispt
- Lisp
Lisp is a weird word, right? When you say lisp, it doesn't sound like you have a lisp, and it sounds weird, but when people with a lisp say lisp it's easy for them to say... so does that mean the person who created the word lisp had a lisp, or the person they got it from had a lisp?

- What is a Resonance Particle?
How can we know anything about particles we cannot detect? To understand how we deduce properties of resonance particles, it is first necessary to examine another, more complicated, explanation of their existence. This explanation involves the scattering cross-section of a particle. When two particles move towards each other and collide, it is possible to say that the collision was caused by the cross-section of the particles.

- Choose Life (Trainspotting)
Choose sitting on that couch watching mind-numbing spirit-crushing game shows stuffing fucking junk food into your mouth. Choose rotting away at the end of it all, pishing you last in a miserable home, nothing more than an embarrassment to the selfish, fucked-up brats you have spawned to replace yourself. Choose your future. Choose life.

- The Man Who Died Twice
And I said not at all, I was very proud of her, and she looked at me and said she was very proud of me too, and I asked what for, and she said I was kind and wise and brave, and I said she was clever and beautiful and had achieved things I would never be capable of, and we both started crying, and then we hugged and I told her I loved her and she told me she loved me.
