- 1985 Lytton Fiction Contest Winner
The countdown stalled at T-minus 69 seconds when Desiree, the first female ape to go up in space, winked at me slyly and pouted her thick, rubbery lips unmistakably - the first of many such advances during what would prove to be the longest, and most memorable, space voyage of my career.

Ignorance was the enemy. Lies and superstition, misinformation, disinformation. Sometimes, no information at all. Ignorance killed billions of people. Ignorance caused the Zombie War.

I had to swear an oath before we began this deposition, and I don't want to perjure myself, so I have a legal obligation to say no. I think if your clients want to sit on my shoulders and call themselves tall, they have the right to give it a try - but there's no requirement that I enjoy sitting here listening to people lie. You have part of my attention - you have the minimum amount. The rest of my attention is back at the offices of Facebook, where my colleagues and I are doing things that no.

Imagine waking up, in the back seat of your car, miles away from home with blood in your hair and you have no idea how that happened. Imagine waking up with your leg broken, and you have no memory whatsoever of the happening. Imagine not being able to keep a job, because you call into work one morning, and they say, "Oh I'm sorry, but we had to fire you because we haven't heard from you for three weeks."

Well, I'm a-running down the road tryna loosen my load. I've got seven women on my mind. Four that wanna own me, two that wanna stone me, and one says she's a friend of mine. Take it easy, take it easy. Don't let the sound of your own wheels drive you crazy.

- The Expectations
Something has been really pissing me off lately. I took me a while to figure it out, but I think I finally found the answer I was looking for. This answer would the expectations of life. I have always wondered why people have such high expectations of celebrities. Why do people care so much? Why do the personal lives of celebrities matter so much to the people? Why do the people care about getting into their personal lives and "doxing" them?

- You First
Which wolf wins? I guess it really depends, just gotta wait and see. Which one's appetite's the biggest? Turns out I'm living in a horror film where I'm both the killer and the killer and the final girl. So who, who are you?

Rather than being primarily an allegory of the mortal artist punished for hubris by a divine one (Marsyas was tricked into admitting he believed his reed flute might rival Apollo's lyre), Marsyas represents for Murdoch, as he clearly did for Titian, the pain of yearning endured and terror faced in the ordeal of creation. The artist is being remade with a new kind of beauty as we watch the painting, and a new definition of heroism is born out of this unbearable unselving.

Each individual creature on this beautiful planet is created by God to fulfil a particular role. Whatever I have achieved in life is through His help, and an expression of His will. He has showered grace on me through some outstanding teachers and colleagues, and when I pay my tributes to these fine persons, I am merely praising His glory.

- Crush on a Friend's Crush
I like the same person as one of my friends. I do not know what I should do. Do I take the shot, and risk losing a friendship but gaining a relationship? Or do I not take the shot and risk losing a chance at a relationship? I do not know what I should do.

- Sun to me
And you come from a good place, with a happy family; the only bad thing you've ever done was to see the good in me. I've been living, waiting on the day, that the good Lord willing sends you out my way. I've seen hard times, bad luck and all that in between. Sweetest of the sunflowers how you're the sun to me. And I remember being younger and my mother told me true: "Find someone who grows flowers in the darkest parts of you."

If we run out of time on this tape, we can get another. It's not a problem, how many times do I have to tell you before you listen? Get back here I - you brought your dog! Memorize your lines. Memorize your lines, maybe we can get through this faster.

Loretta, I see you walking now and then. Loretta, I see you coming near. Why's it oh so hard? To turn back and finally whisper "How are we supposed to carry on?" Well, I've got to, for now, forget her and everything she said - she lied. I met her morning, noon, and night. Well I'd say "I fooled ya." So Loretta, you never won the fight. Why's it oh so hard to turn back and finally whisper "How are we supposed to carry on?"

- i’ll miss you.
How all of this has been lately is not working for me. I know you're going through a lot but our relationship has needs and so do I. I've spent a lot of time waiting on you. Waiting on you to prioritize me, waiting on you to communicate, waiting on you to choose me. I've given up a lot for this relationship, not only job wise but with friends too. I can't make you want to do those things. But you don't have space for me and I can't keep choosing a connection that actively isn't choosing me.

- Boy Mom
Slime and snails, puppy dog tails, such are things mothers of little boys are familiar. Rocks in my pocket, fake bugs everywhere, what on earth is that mess over there? Muddy clothes, a missing shoe, "Mommy, watch what I can do." Many things can be said about mothers of little boys, but there's one that always rings true: Mothers of little boys work from son-up to son-down.

We will not be intimidated. We will not back down. We've seen war. We don't want war. But if you want war with the United States of America, there's one thing I can promise you, so help me God: Someone else will raise your sons and daughters.

- Montessori vs Waldorf
Montessori focuses on real-life experiences, natural curiosity, and independent learning. Montessori teachers are seen as guides and observers and the students are grouped by ability, not age. Waldorf focuses on imagination, fantasy, and holistic advancement through creativity and imagination. Waldorf teachers direct students. Waldorf schools were historically Christian-based, but are now adapting to a more pluralistic spirituality.
Me (Myself)
Don't change yourself. Yes, you have the power to change yourself, but you never want to change for others. If that person wants you to change for them, don't, they aren't worth your time. Find someone who wants you, for you.
