- valuable mistakes
I used once to regret these sorts of errors and to speak of time lost over them. But I have materially altered my mind on this subject. I often gain more from the discovery of a mistake of this sort, than from 10 acquisitions at once and without any kind of difficulty.

- Life Quote
When a person is growing up, there will be people who don't want to see you working hard to achieve certain results. Why? Because they're not as hardworking as you. So, they cannot see anything good happen to you. They will pick on things that you're bad at to balance the things in their heart that are a bit gloomy. So towards all these things, what's the best way to face them? Don't be a stranger. If you understand, then put that time and energy into doing what you're supposed to do.

- First Love Confession
What I asked for was a wonderful romantic relationship. However, that person didn't love me back. I read a book written by Maugham before. There was a review of the book. He said, there is a void in everyone's heart. However, the void can only be filled with a piece of the same shape. It may not be perfect, it may be distorted, but if the void is not filled by that very person, this spot will always feel empty.

There's good in bad. Before the end, don't make premature judgements. Many times, bad things emerge in order to help someone achieve their goal. Let him exercise courage and perseverance, and become a capable person.

- The Narcissist's Prayer
That didn't happen. If it did, it wasn't that bad. And if it was, that's not a big deal. And if it is, that's not my fault. And if it was, I didn't mean it. And if I did, you deserved it.
Kurt Vonnegut Jr.
- Slaughter House Five
Billy came slightly unstuck in time, saw the late movie backwards, then forwards again. It was a movie about American bombers in WWII... The formation flew backwards over a German city that was in flames. The bombers opened their bomb bay doors, exerted a miraculous magnetism which shrunk the fires, gathered them into cylindrical steel containers, and lifted the containers into the bellies of the planes. The containers were stored neatly in racks... they would never hurt anybody ever again.
Alan Weisman
- The World Without Us
In the 1930s, with no computers to precisely calculate tolerances of construction materials, cautious engineers simply heaped on excess mass and redundancy. We're living off the overcapacity of our forefathers.
Alan Weisman
- The World Without Us
We may be undermined by our survival instincts, honed over eons to help us deny, defy, or ignore catastrophic portents lest they paralyze us with fright.

- Gordon Street - Wayne's World 2
Gordon Street? Ah, yes, Gordon Street. I once knew a girl who lived on Gordon Street. Long time ago, when I was a young man. Not a day passes I don't think of her and the promise that I made which I will always keep. That one perfect day on Gordon Street. That's uh, five blocks up, two over.

- Drama King
When she told him the truth that she was cheated on him, he can't hold his tears, she just sit there and just watched he's crying and no sorry words came out from her mouth. She said "you're such a drama king!." Yes, because he afraid of losing someone that he love, and overly attached afterwhile she gave him something so real. He waited for 6 years and it last for 2 months. As he said early to her "when i fall, i fall hard and i will fall hard at the end."

- Communicate
When things become difficult, communicate. It does not guarantee that the difficulties will go away instantly. But an act of sharing a burden somehow eases the burden. "It is not that simple!" Of course it is not. Now tell me which part of it that's "not that simple." I want to know. Communicate.

Frank Herbert
- Good Governance - Children of Dune
Good governance never depends upon laws, but upon the personal qualities of those who govern. The machinery of government is always subordinate to the will of those who administer that machinery. The most important element of government, therefore, is the method of choosing leaders.
Frank Herbert
- Frank Herbert -- Children of Dune
Governments, if they endure, always tend increasingly toward aristocratic forms. No government in history has been known to evade this pattern. And as the aristocracy develops, government tends more and more to act exclusively in the interests of the ruling class - whether that class be hereditary royalty, oligarchs of financial empires, or entrenched bureaucracy.
Yang Wen-li
- Societal Values
I've learned that there are two currents of thought in human society. The opinion that there are things worth more than human life and the opinion that there is nothing preferable to life. When nations begin to fight, it's on the pretext of the former type of people and it justifies the latter when they stop.

I can't help but smile when a quote someone posted from The Office comes up as I'm watching the show on TV. I can recite it in my head, the entire thing, before even finishing typing the quote. Thank you for that, whoever posted them!
Neil Peart - Rush
- Lock and Key
Don't want to silence a desperate voice for the sake of security. No one wants to make a terrible choice on the price of being free. I don't want to face the killer instinct - face it in you or me. So we keep it under lock and key.

To whatever end?" she breathed. Rowan followed her, as he had his entire life, long before they had ever met, before their souls had sparked into existence. "To whatever end, Fireheart.
