- Attention - The Ruthless Elimination of Hurry
What you give your attention to is the person you become. Put another way: the mind is the portal to the soul, and what you fill your mind with will shape the trajectory of your character. In the end, your life is no more than the sum of what you gave your attention to.
Munia Khan
Wings are of many kinds. Butterfly's wings, vulture's wings, eagle-wings, spread wings of white swans, dragonfly's serene wings, wings of albatross, lovely wings of humming birds, tiny wings of a fly or a bumble-bee-wings; and when they fly, they fly their best according to their ability of flying. We should not underestimate the size of those heavenly wings.

- Summer Nights Till Fall
We lived for those moments on our concrete stoop, where our days became ashes in a filter and our nights fell in the middle of the street where we stood, palms out to allow our usually clenched fists to slacken. How does my entire world manage to wrap itself around him? I wasn't looking when I found this infatuation, and I didn't expect to find his eyes right in front of mine when I lifted my gaze...
Michael Moorcock
- The Black Blade Hungers
Stormbringer, the black hellblade, tingled under Elric's hand, anticipating a new sword-quenching. Moonglum fidgeted in his saddle, nervous of the forthcoming fight which he knew would involve dark sorcery. Moonglum had no liking for the sorcerous arts or for the creatures they spawned. To his mind, men should fight their own battles without help. They rode on, nervous and tense.

- Bin Guy (Three Letter Word Song)
She, she had one job. She ran the Old Dog (the pub), but not now she not. Why? 'Cuz she too hot (she fit). I've, I've got one job, too. It's not too bad, but bin men get sad.

Tablo
- Lost One (Heavily Abridged)
My child, when you follow, I leave my footsteps here for you. Steer clear of them. Now that I've run to the very end, I see that there's nothing I was looking for. I ran down this path for my family, only to have it take my father's life. Even if everyone welcomes you, they will abandon you. Even when they roll out the red carpet for you, don't forget it has turned red from your blood and sweat. I lost one too many things. Whatever you wish to become, I'll applaud you. Just don't end up like me.
Movie Quote
- I was quite gorgeous - Emma Morley (One Day)
I was quite gorgeous in my twenties. Although I didn't appreciate it at the time... I did... Sometimes you did. Sometimes you didn't... You know it won't be like this all the time... Why wouldn't it? What's going to change it? I don't know, time I guess.
Joe L. Hensley
- Excerpt from "And Not Quite Human"
"It was a wonderful attack, Captain," the old man said softly. The shadows nodded as they formed and faded. "Nothing human could have lived through it - nothing human did. Some of us were deep underground where they'd buried us long ago - the stakes through our hearts - they knew how to deal with us. But your fire burned the stakes away." He waved a scaly hand at the shadows. They came down upon the captain relentlessly.

- Common people don't want war
Naturally, the common people don't want war... after all, it is the leaders of a country who determine policy, and it is always a simple matter to drag the people along.

- Insane
Dearly beloved, for your entertainment. It's my pleasure to introduce you to Hell's latest arrival. The equal opportunity killer, Alastor! Hey! Sorry, but you just got in my way. I promise, honey, I can feel your pain and maybe I enjoy it just a little bit. Does that make me insane? Haven't been the same since I expired. Doesn't mean that I plan to retire and now I have the power to bathe all of you in entertaining fire.

- Sick
I'm feeling really sick today. So, what better way to spend time than practicing typing? I sneeze every so often, which throws me off, but I still continue to type away.
The 1975
- The City
Oh, and she said, "It's your birthday, are you feeling alright?" The next one's the MD, you'll be feeling just fine. Your brother is just sat there, you said you felt snide. You hope that, that the boy will be alright.
Joseph Conrad
- Heart of Darkness
He died without uttering a sound, without moving a limb, without twitching a muscle. Only in the very last moment, as though in response to some sign we could not see, to some whisper we could not hear, he frowned heavily, and that frown gave to his black death-mask an inconceivably sombre, brooding, and menacing expression.
Allen Iverson
- The practice speech.
We're talking about practice. Not a game; not the game that I go out there and die for and play every game like it's my last; not the game; we're talking about practice, man. I mean, how silly is that?

- ICBM Opening
The next move is obvious. We can launch an RT-2PM2 Topol-M cold-launched three-stage solid-propellant silo-based intercontinental ballistic missile to attack black's remaining pieces.
Neil Gaiman
- Excerpt from "The Graveyard Book"
"All must dance the Macabray," said Bod, remembering. "Have you danced it? What kind of dance is it?" His guardian looked at him with eyes like black pools and said, "I do not know. I know many things, Bod, for I have been walking this earth at night for a very long time, but I do not know what it is like to dance the Macabray. You must be alive or you must be dead to dance it - and I am neither."
Charles Dickens
- Love Her
Far into the night, Miss Havisham's words, 'Love her, love her, love her!' sounded in my ears. I adapted them for my own repetition, and said to my pillow, 'I love her, I love her, I love her!' hundreds of times. Then, a burst of gratitude came upon me, that she should be destined for me, once the blacksmith's boy.
Neil Peart and Geddy Lee (Rush)
- Anagram (For Mongo)
There is no safe seat at the feast. Take your best stab at the beast. The night is turning thin. The saint is turning to sin. Reasoning is partly insane. Image just an eyeless game. The night is turning thin. The saint is turning to sin.
New Girl

You gave me cookie, I gave you a cookie. You gave me a cookie, I gave you a cookie. Gave me cooke, got you cookie! You gave me a cookie, I got you a cookie, man! Gave me cookie, got you cookie! We're even! We're even, Schmidt!

- Keep trying
The grass isn't always greener on the other side. Things won't always get better if you don't try. You will only get somewhere if you try. So, keep trying, kiddos.
