Corrupted Kingdoms
- Read the heart
Read them like a book, then write in that book. Like shifting the flow of a stream slightly in one direction or another. Each shift infinitesimally small, but with enough of them you can completely change the course of an entire river. Read the heart and you can write its feelings.

I must not cringe. Cringe is the mind-killer. Cringe is the little death that brings total obliteration. I will face my cringe. I will permit it to pass over me and through me. And when it has gone past I will turn the inner eye to see its path. When the cringe has gone there will be nothing. Only I will remain.
Sequoia Nagamatsu
- How High We Go In The Dark
After school she'd study the news, comb the internet for disasters, wars and hate and injustice, write it all down in these color-coded journals. Once, I asked her what she was doing, and she said she was just trying to keep track of it all because it didn't seem like anybody else noticed or cared that we kept making the same mistakes, that hate in a neighbourhood or injustice in a state ran like poison through veins, until another ice shelf collapsed or another animal went extinct.

The belief in the sanctity of life is, at its core, a religious belief. That's what makes it so surprising that so many atheists believe in it. Death is inevitable. There is no secular moral reason to stop someone from committing suicide.
The Beatles
- I’m Fixing A Hole
I'm fixing a hole where the rain gets in and stops my mind from wandering where it will go. I'm filling the cracks that ran through the door and kept my mind from wandering where it will go. And it really doesn't matter if I'm wrong, I'm right. Where I belong, I'm right, where I belong. See the people standing there who disagree and never win and wonder why they don't get in my door! I'm painting the room in a colorful way and when my mind is wandering, there I will go.
Rex Orange County
- One in a Million
I'm alone with you, waking up and hanging out at home with you. You don't ever do no wrong to me. I wish that I could just say the same. But it's okay, I'm trying to do. Whatever it takes to believe, that I'm enough and hope you agree. I've fallen for you, I'm dazed and confused, it's crazy what you mean to me. My heart keeps driving me crazy. There's nothing much I can do, I'm aware, there's no one quite like you. You're one of one. One in a million.
Rex Orange County
- Amazing
Who's gonna save me now? I hope it's you, my babe. Don't change a thing, you are amazing. I can't believe you've come and saved me. You can stay here, spend every day here. I don't mind, no.
Joji (George Miller)
- Glimpse of us
'Cause sometimes I look in her eyes, and that's where I find a glimpse of us. And I try to fall for her touch, but I'm thinking of the way it was. Said I'm fine, and said I'd moved on, I'm only here passing time in her arms. Hoping I'll find a glimpse of us.
Matter of Record
- Historical Fact
The Japanese did not surrender after the dropping of the first atomic bomb. In fact, when the emperor decided to surrender after the second bomb was dropped, there was a revolt in the palace. Furthermore, the only alternative to dropping the bombs was an invasion of mainland Japan. Casualty estimates, for both the Allies and Japanese, for an invasion of Japan were in the millions.
Abraham Lincoln
- Thoughtful Quote
"I have stepped out upon this platform that I may see you and that you may see me, and in the arrangement I have the best of the bargain." Also by Lincoln, "I am not bound to win, but I am bound to be true. I am not bound to succeed, but I am bound to live by the light that I have. I must stand with anybody that stands right, and stand with him while he is right, and part with him when he goes wrong." - Abraham Lincoln.
Abraham Lincoln
- Thoughtful Quote
"When you reach the end of your rope, tie a knot and hang on." "I am rather inclined to silence, and whether that be wise or not, it is at least more unusual nowadays to find a man who can hold his tongue than to find one who cannot." - Abraham Lincoln.
Abraham Lincoln
- Thoughtful Quote
Character is like a tree and reputation like a shadow. The shadow is what we think of it; the tree is the real thing. However, you can fool all the people some of the time, and some of the people all the time, but you cannot fool all the people all the time.

- Let them eat cake (or don't. It's just a metaphor)
I don't care how perfect someone's fruitcake recipe is, I just don't like fruitcake. Heck, I have a friend who can't even eat cake. So make your own food. No one can tell you what to cook, especially because, in the end, their favorite dessert will still kill you if you're allergic.
A keyboard nerd
- Are we all Keyboard nerds?
The first time I came on to the website was the first time I purchased my first mechanical keyboard. It was the Razer mercury lite edition. I loved it. Fast forward till today, I'm now using my own custom keyboard. I still use this website because each test is like a little message in a bottle rather than randomized words. It dawned upon me that there might be other people who do typing tests because of their mechanical keyboards too. Hopefully I'm not the only one?
Dumbo
- Dandy Crow
Oh, why, he flies just like an eagle! That's better than an airplane. Brother, now I've seen everything... I be done seen about everything when I see an elephant fly with the wind, when I see an elephant fly!
Erich Maria Remarque
- Forward - All Quiet on the Western Front
This book is to be neither an accusation nor a confession, and least of all an adventure, for death is not an adventure to those who stand face to face with it. It will try simply to tell of a generation of men who, even though they may have escaped its shells, were destroyed by the war.
Ish Me
- This is wack
The penalty system on this site is ridiculous. If I type one character wrong and don't realize it for a word or two, then the penalty will get added. Fair enough. What doesn't make sense is that one character will set me back ten to twenty words per minute. Last time it happened I was above ninety words per minute and got penalized down to seventy.
Erich Maria Remarque
- All Quiet on the Western Front
He fell in October 1918, on a day that was so quiet and still on the whole front, that the army report confined itself to the single sentence: All quiet on the Western Front. He had fallen forward and lay on the earth as though sleeping. Turning him over one saw that he could not have suffered long; his face had an expression of calm, as though almost glad the end had come.
Devin Lorbo
You didn't get into a car crash by accident. You got into a two-ton death machine and went zooming down the road at over six times walking speed. What did you expect, a flat-screen TV?
