- Diversity is our greatest strength
"Diversity is our greatest strength" is incredibly dumb. Unity is our greatest strength; unity and respect for individual liberty. Those are our greatest strengths, and if we don't have those things, we are kinda screwed.

- One Fine Day in The Middle of The Night
Ladies and gentlemen, hoboes and tramps, Cross-eyed mosquitoes and bow-legged ants, I come before you to stand behind you, To tell you something I know nothing about. Next Thursday, which is Good Friday, There will be a Mother's Day meeting for fathers only; Admission is free, so pay at the door, Pull up a seat and sit on the floor. The topic to discuss ever befitted... A crime that has not been committed.

- Being good at something
I often see people give up on their hobbies too quickly because they think they're wasting their time, or not good enough, and that's horrible. Because you get to witness firsthand the death of something that could've been a big part of someone's life. For me, you just have to keep trying, if you really like something, then you have to keep trying. Because trying is the first step to being good at something.

This is a month of pride. This is a month where you can be yourself with less fear than the month prior. That does not mean this month is without challenges. So, if you are lucky enough to be spending this month without fear, spread that fearlessness to someone who might need a bit more pride.

- Spared No Expense!
I own an island off the coast of Costa Rica. I've leased it from the government, and I've spent the last five years setting up a kind of biological preserve. Really spectacular, spared no expense! It'll make the one I've got down in Kenya look like a petting zoo. And there's no doubt our attractions will drive kids out of their minds.
Walt Disney
I don't believe in playing down to children, either in life or in motion pictures. I didn't treat my own youngsters like fragile flowers, and I think no parent should. Children are people, and they should have to reach to learn about things, to understand things, just as adults have to reach if they want to grow in mental stature.

- What Happens When I Die
My neurons are firing, and I'm seeing this firework display of memories and imagination. And I am just tripping because my mind's rifling through the memories, and the dreams mix with the memories. And it's a curtain call. The dream to end all dreams. And then... I stop. No pain. No memory. No awareness that I ever was or ever hurt someone. Everything is as it was before me, and I'm serving a purpose. I'm feeding life. My atoms are in the plants and bugs and animals, and I am like the stars.

Metacognition is overrated. You don't need to think about your thoughts or your thought process any more than you need to bite your teeth while you're trying to eat.
Roger Hodgson
Give a Little Bit has a wonderful message and makes people light up, and I get them to sing it with me. It really has a message that is very eternal and is needed even more today than it was when I wrote it.

- Type for growth
Ever wonder when you start learning typing? Or someday you literally start putting effort into learning typing? It all seems like yesterday, when I am still tired of finding all the keystroke that sequenced completely random. Just like when I first going to kindergarten, and the upcoming university life far away from home. It all seems so fast for me...
Raymond Chandler
- The Long Goodbye
I've been in jail more than once and I don't do divorce business. I like liquor and women and chess and a few other things. The cops don't like me too well, but I know a couple I get along with. Both parents dead, no brothers or sisters and when I get knocked off in a dark alley sometime, if it happens, as it could to anyone in my business, and to plenty of people in any business or no business at all these days, nobody will feel that the bottom has dropped out of his or her life.

- Punch-Drunk Love -- That's that
I didn't do anything. I'm a nice man, I mind my own business. So you tell me that's that before I beat the hell from you. I have so much strength in me, you have no idea. I have a love in my life that makes me stronger than anything you can imagine. I would say that's that, mattress man.

She wore an immaculate, starched black uniform, and her silver hair flowed like silk, with the exception of one section, which she had dyed red. She had adopted this look six months ago, when the Spearhead squadron- a squadron of Eighty-Six- had been sent to the battlefield on a suicide mission. As they were not allowed to return, their only option was to advance into enemy territory until they were killed in action.
Anon from Hispachan
If Christians are willing to endure misery and Jews to destroy the world in the name of a God that surely doesn't exist, why shouldn't I make an effort every day to feel worthy of my waifu?

- Man's Search For Meaning
It did not really matter what we expected from life, but rather what life expected from us. We needed to stop asking about the meaning of life and instead think of ourselves as those who were being questioned by life - daily and hourly. Life ultimately means taking the responsibility to find the right answer to its problems and to fulfill the tasks which it constantly sets for each individual.

- The Resurgence of Monstrous Feminine
Sometimes, when I'm walking home on my own at night, I think about what it would be like to stalk silently behind men, my feet soft and easy on the pavement, a quick flash of my shadow under the street lights. How I'd watch the whites of their eyes shine as they turned to look behind them - softly, quietly, can't be too obvious - see the glisten of sweat on the back of their necks.

- Mourn With Those Who Mourn
What do you say? You can say, "I'm so sorry for your loss." Or, "God works in mysterious ways." Or, "If there's anything I can do..." It's so hollow, isn't it? Sometimes it's okay to just look at the world and say, "Why? Why? Why? I don't understand, and I will not." Yeah, sometimes that's okay.
Dr. Ian Malcolm
- Well, There It Is
The kind of control you're attempting simply is... it's not possible. If there is one thing the history of evolution has taught us it's that life will not be contained. Life breaks free; it expands to new territories and crashes through barriers, painfully, maybe even dangerously. But, uh... well, there it is.
Erin Greene, Midnight Mass
- On Miscarriage
She was never awake. When she came down into this little body, this just forming body, it was asleep. So all she ever knew was dreaming. She only ever dreamed. She didn't even have a name. And then, in her sleep, that perfect little spirit just lifted up. This special little soul just sent down here to sleep. Just a little nap. A quick dream.

- From Three Daughters
Promise me something. Don't believe that you have bad luck or that bad things happen to you. I've been around a long time, and this is how life continues. I can't account for such cruelty from God, but there it is. We must take things hard that are hard. But also go forward and not ask too many questions. Your mother is gone, but I'm still here. Why? Perhaps for you. I'm left to tell you what a strong, good girl you were to your parents and how happy you made your mother.
