Cristina Yang
- You are the Sun
Cristina Yang once said "You are a gifted surgeon with an extraordinary mind," Cristina said, "Don't let what he wants eclipse what you need. He's very dreamy, but he is not the sun. You are."
Sakata Gintoki (Gintama)
Trying to shoulder the burden all by yourself? Don't be a stranger. Weep and ask for help. Lean on me with your runny nose. Cry when you feel like crying. Laugh when you feel like laughing. When you're tearing up with an ugly face, I'll give you a good cry with an uglier face. When you're laughing so hard your stomach hurts, I'll laugh in a louder voice. That's how it should be. It's far better to get dirty while living true to yourself, than to throw away yourself and die a clean death.
Jane Austen
- Northanger Abbey...Catherine's thoughts
Little as Catherine was in the habit of judging for herself, and unfixed as were her general notions of what men ought to be, she could not entirely repress a doubt, while she bore with the effusions of his endless conceit, of his being altogether completely agreeable...

- typing tips
As someone who has doubled my average words per minute touch typing, here are a couple of recommendations that I have. The first would be finger positions. Read ahead and plan your finger positions accordingly. Secondly, don't think about typing the letters individually, but think about the word itself. And third of all, slow down your reading pace to the point where you're fluently typing on the keyboard.
Clementine Ford
- Fight Like A Girl
I didn't want to kill myself. But I found myself frequently daydreaming about how nice it would be to lower myself into the ocean from the end of a jetty and just let the waves carry me out to sea. In my imagination, it would be less like dying and more like surrendering. I could give myself to the ocean, and everything would be okay. I could be salt and froth and calm and storm, but most of all I could finally be something that wasn't me.

I see the hands of the clock, tick-tock, going backwards. My mind is slipping just a little bit faster. So, bury this sinner alongside the saints; you can't tell us apart when we're decayed.

Clash Royale is a very fun game once you learn how to play it. It is made by Supercell, who are also the creators of CoC. The game is slowly getting worse, with the community manager @drewbain on x doing bad things.

- The Hardest Time of Year
This time of year, the holiday season, is extremely hard on those of us who have experienced profound loss. Halloween, dressing up the kids and going trick or treating, Thanksgiving, enjoying a good meal with the family, Christmas, giving and receiving gifts with those you love most, The New Year, welcoming and wishing for luck and prosperity for the year to come. All of the holiday season birthdays... When the person you love the most can't be part of any of it- that cuts deep.

I can't read. It may be hard to believe, but recently I lost the ability to read. But just because I can't read, does not mean I can't enjoy books. They smell good, they taste good, but the edges are sharp. Just because you can't read the words, doesn't mean you can't enjoy the book in a different way.

Does your best friend just fix all your problems? Mine does, when I am crying they find ways to make me laugh. When I am dumb . they makes me feel smart. When I am weird, they are weird with me. They just know how to make the best of the worst situations. They are my soulmate, no one can convince me otherwise.

- A Tale of Magic
Ignorance is a choice. Hatred is a choice. Violence is a choice. But someone's existence is never a choice, or a fault, and it's certainly not a crime. You would be wise to educate yourself.
George Elliot
- Middlemarch
We mortals, men and women, devour many a disappointment between breakfast and dinner-time; keep back the tears and look a little pale about the lips, and in answer to inquiries say, "Oh, nothing!" Pride helps; and pride is not a bad thing when it only urges us to hide our hurts - not to hurt others.
Madeline Miller
- Circe
I felt the currents move. The grains of sand whispered against each other. His wings were lifting. The darkness around us shimmered with clouds of his gilded blood. Beneath my feet were the bones of a thousand years. I thought: I cannot bear this world a moment longer. "Then, child, make another."

You will be working with people who presented the military with a problem: what do you do with individuals who are so good that conformity in a traditional special ops team would set them back?
Vice City
- VCPR
No no no no! Keep them out of here! We do not want anymore old folks! If there are any old people listening, go back to your homes. Florida does not want you. Please, die somewhere else. What's wrong with Nevada or Kansas? We want a river, we need a river. The freedom river!

- "Messing about in boats" - Wind in the Willows
"Is it so nice as all that?" asked the Mole shyly, though he was quite prepared to believe it as he leant back in his seat and surveyed the cushions, the oars, the rowlocks, and all the fascinating fittings, and felt the boat sway lightly under him. "Nice? It's the only thing," said the Water Rat solemnly, as he leant forward for his stroke. "Believe me, my young friend, there is nothing-absolutely nothing-half so much worth doing as simply messing about in boats."

As I explained earlier, most animals are multilingual when it comes to listening, but reading is beyond us. Reading and writing seem to belong to a special linguistic system that only humans possess.

- Repetitive Quotes
I sit here typing through quotes to pass time at work for about 7 hours a day and I've realized that I come across the same quotes multiple times. Surely there are more than enough quotes on this entire website to be able to type for hours and hours without encountering the same ones again and again.

- What's the Evolutionary Benefit of Appreciating Beauty?
One thing that separates humans from animals is our ability to appreciate beauty. You can theoretically train a monkey to physically do anything a human can, but a chimp can't look at a sunset or a painting and recognize its beauty. Is there some evolutionary benefit to this? I read once it could be remnants of our desire to be in open spaces so that we can better see approaching danger. Or maybe our creator was feeling boastful and wanted us to admire his work.

- Not a Trace Left Behind
I devoured you. Your mind, body, and soul were all in the palm in my hands, wrapped around my finger, laced along the silver edges. I had you. I consumed you until there was nothing left. I destroyed you, so much so that you were unrecognizable to your family and friends. I was sly, you never realized what was happening to you. Or so that's what I believed, until the day you said I can continue to consume you until you are no more.
