Despite being in the triple digits now, she was entirely self-sufficient. She trembled about her house in a daily battle with gravity, drinking Dr. Pepper and chain-smoking cigarettes as if to mock whatever otherworldly force was keeping her alive.

- I'll be Okay
I think if I were to be alone the rest of my life, I'd be alright. Of course, it's not ideal. But at least I wouldn't be in a relationship I wouldn't want. Especially hearing the problems of failed relationships coming from people I know... It's hard for me to believe that love is real, if there's anyone out there who'd choose to love me despite the inevitable. It sounds so foreign to me. I want to experience it. But even if I'm not given the chance, I know I'll be okay.

- My Boy
Okay, I refer to my boyfriend as "My Mans." I will go around telling my friends "I miss my mans" or "I'm going to see my mans." Well today someone told me that he wasn't a man. He was a boy. Their reasoning was not his age but the fact that he is not able to yet take care of both me and him. That really got me thinking, he is able to take care of himself pretty well but not me. He might one day, but until that day he will just be, my boy.

What remains of a man when that man is dead and gone? Only memories and stories of his deeds will linger on. But if a man's accomplishments aren't in the tale they tell, are the deeds that go unheralded his legacy as well?... The question then is whether 'tis nobler in the mind to be well-liked but ineffectual, or moral but maligned? I'll never be a hero who all the citizens adore. But if I hide to save my life, what has my life been for?

You could take me 'round the world to see the sites. And after, we could lay out on the beach, watch the stars at night. And we could go, we could go dancing.. but only if you're the one who's asking. You're perfectly attentive, always make sure I'm alright. But then I realize, its too good to be true...

While some shout out about all kinds of justice with their tongue covered in blood, others silently laugh at them. In the era of everyone having something to say, keeping your opinions to yourself makes you a bystander, and people dare to point their fingers at you. I beg you, face this uncomfortable, good intention. The noise created by yellow journalism. The choice made in someone's favor. What is the point in fighting amongst ourselves? I tell you, our spearheads should be directed upwards.

- Productivity is a process. See the process as a state.
A lot of us (well, at least the quote authors,) seem to want to type faster to improve our productivity. When I type, I do it to establish myself as a productive person. A person who gets up, gets after it, and types out that whatever. Be it work or practice, there seems to be more gain if I spend less time on my phone, and more time on my laptop. I would see myself as less depressed, spending more time in my chair, and less time in bed. This quote was written on my phone, unfortunately.

- i'm glad there is you
In this world of ordinary people, extraordinary people, I'm glad there is you. In this world of overrated pleasures and underrated treasures, I'm glad there is you. I live to love, I love to live with you beside me. This world, so new... I muddle through with you to guide me.

- It Does Get Better
I know many younger people use this site to pass the time and improve their typing. So to you lot, I just want to say that if you are dealing with depression or feeling like this is as good as it gets, well, I am living proof that it does get better. I have dealt with depression since I was a young teen, and I am now in my early 30's. Your brain is lying to you, it will get better, you just have to put one foot in front of the other and keep going. We can do this!

She feeds the birds, taking care of everything she sees. Especially me. And when I'm feeling numb, she lives life for both of us. The birds are loud, but so am I.

- Don't Go - Bring Me The Horizon
I was raised in the valley, there was shadows and death. Got out alive but with scars I can't forget. This kid back in school, subdued and shy, an orphan and a brother and unseen by most eyes. I don't know what it was that made a piece of him die, took a boy to the forest, slaughtered him with a scythe. Stamped on his face, an impression in the dirt. Do you think the silence makes a good man convert?

- Then a real monster showed up
I pretended to chase my own monsters away. I'd say, "No monster's going to get you when I'm here." Then a real monster showed up. And I just ran away.

A strong man doesn't need to read the future. He makes his own. Find something to believe in, and find it for yourself. When you do, pass it on to the future.

- The Rwandan Genocide
When I was found once, nearly nude, what I was doing was cutting myself all over my body, so that the warmth of the blood that was spilling was becoming the most soothing of experiences I've ever had in my life. It was as if it was draining all that terrible pain, and I was essentially, by a thousand cuts, trying to bleed myself to death and it was incredible.

- Freedom
From the moment I was born, there was always a stifling wall before me. Fiery water, lands of ice, sandy snowfields... The people who witnessed these things were the ones who had obtained the greatest freedom in the world. This is freedom.

- The Master and his Emissary
My thesis is that for us as human beings there are two fundamentally opposed realities, two different modes of experience; that each is of ultimate importance in bringing about the recognizably human world; and that their difference is rooted in the bihemispheric structure of the brain. It follows that the hemispheres need to cooperate, but I believe they are in fact involved in a sort of power struggle, and that this explains many aspects of contemporary Western culture.

- Drowning
Have you ever felt like you were drowning, like you can't breathe but you are still living and you have no idea how? I have, and let me tell you that feeling doesn't go away until you confide in someone that you trust. Once you do that, the weight that is on your shoulders will lift and you will be able to breathe again.

Idling repeats, memories turning vicious. Lying in a field, I set my sights onto the skies. Now I can't remember what I wanted so badly. I trusted I was happy, now a mere memory. Yeah, I've been goin', no matter what's in front. No matter what it may be. Memories of holding onto dawn's edge and spitting things out. Society's all for the loudest voice, and here I am, still speaking silence. It's an aside, a boat in full bloom, to face all the prejudice and misunderstandings.

- Sabotage
I was typing a quote on here and I thought to myself, "What are the chances someone is sabotaging us by using famous quotes and titling them from something else?" Like, a Forrest Gump quote but the title is To Kill a Mockingbird. Now... I'm thinking to myself... what if I start making quotes...
