Micheal Cunningham
- White Angel
Here is Carlton several months before his death, in an hour so alive with snow that earth and sky are identically white. He labors among the markers and I run after, stung by snow, following the light of his red knitted cap.

- The Voyager
Oh, and it flies. It bursts with fuel and that euphoric high ignites. Destined for the clouds, it will see it all. It leaves home and goes on a journey never to stop. The very moment we speak, it walks away from Earth farther and farther away. Tides will turn, ships will sink, stars will die, time moves on... But in it all, the Voyager won't stop. Oh well, aren't we all voyagers in our lives too? Good luck and have fun.
Scott McCall
What's going on with me? You really wanna know? Well, so would I. Cause I can see, hear, and smell things that I shouldn't be able to see, hear and smell. I can do things that should be impossible, I'm sleep walking three miles into the middle of the woods, and I'm pretty much convinced that I'm totally out of my freaking mind.
Yoshio Sakamoto
- Super Metroid monologue (excerpt)
The scientists' findings were astounding! They discovered that the powers of the Metroid might be harnessed for the good of civilization! Satisfied that all was well, I left the station to seek a new bounty to hunt. But I had hardly gone beyond the asteroid belt when I picked up a distress signal. Ceres station was under attack!

- Consume
She said, "Careful or you'll lose it." But girl, I'm only human. And I know there's a blade where your heart is, and you know how to use it. And you can take my flesh if you want, girl. But, baby, don't abuse it. These voices in my head, screaming, "Run now!" I'm praying that they're human.
Zach Bryan
- Fear and Fridays Poem
I've learned that every waking moment is enough, and excess never leads to better things. It only piles and piles on top of the things that are already abundantly in front of you, like breathing and chasing and slow dancing and love making and fighting and laughing. I am unhinged, unworthy, and distasteful to mostly everyone I meet. However, I am loyal to a fault to anyone I find kindness in. I do not and will not fear tomorrow because I feel as though today has been enough.
Gracie Abrams
- Two People
I loved you so hard for a time. So, why am I clawing at you to survive? Hate how we touch just to push things aside. When you take me for granted, I make it alright. Don't know what to say, two people can change. Don't think we're above, might happen to us. Oh, isn't it strange? We'll die anyway. Don't think we're above, might happen to us.

- Scaredy Cat
I think I'm scared of all the signs. Don't ever leave me alone at night. I think I'm scared, I don't know why. Just leave the lights on and close the blinds. Because I'm a scaredy cat. I think I'm scared, I have no time. I scream out loud just to see if I'm alive. I think I'm scared, I don't know why. So leave the lights on, I'll stay inside.
Terry Tempest Williams
- When Women Were Birds
In the desert I often whisper. Junipers are excellent sounding boards. They have been shaped by wind. Rocks seem to care nothing about what I say, yet when I speak to them, they feel porous, capable of receiving my words and taking them in as part of their history of brokenness.
Prongs
- the lady who works in the library
There's an old lady with gray hair and brown roots. She has a funny looking yard. There's no grass, instead only strange plants and flowers filling the area. She's collected colorful lawn decorations over the years; a plastic rainbow pinwheel that spins with the wind, an old faded pink flamingo with metal legs and claims of good luck, a string of colorful Christmas lights lining her porch year round. Things like that.
Kenzie
- Alphabet Quote
A big crazy dog entered a fancy gym, he is just kicking Linda out. Many nosy old people quietly react suspiciously to Uno. The very wild, xanthous dog. Who you should lock in a zoo.

- Thoughts about "leftovers"
I just typed a quote called "leftovers" talking about how there are so many quotes added to this site that some may never reach anyone else. But then that begs the question: Why do I seem to get so many repeat quotes? It's rather annoying, actually. Unless I rate it a five star, I don't really want to see it again, thanks.
Terry Tempest Williams
- When Women Were Birds
I fear silence because it leads me to myself, a self I may not wish to confront. It asks that I listen. And in listening, I am taken to an unknown place. Silence leaves me alone in a place of feeling. It is not necessarily a place of comfort.
Taylor Swift
- When Emma Falls in Love
She's the kind of book that you can't put down - like if Cleopatra grew up in a small town. All the bad boys would be good boys if they only had a chance to love her. To tell you the truth, sometimes I wish I was her.
Lana del Rey
- Freak
Baby if you wanna leave come to California, be a freak like me, too. Screw your anonymity, loving me is all you need to feel like I do. We could slow dance to rock music, kiss while we do it, talk till we both turn blue.
Going Bovine by Libba Bray
- Hope
These are hard times. The world hurts. We live in fear and forget to walk with hope. But hope has not forgotten you. So ask it to dinner. It's probably hungry and would appreciate the invitation.

- Love envalope
In the vast universe of emotions, our love is an envelope that holds the most precious contents. With every heartbeat, it swells with affection, each memory a letter inscribed with laughter, trust, and the beauty of togetherness.
Seneca
- Stoicism - A quote from Seneca
Of all people, only those are at leisure who make time for philosophy, only they truly live. Not satisfied to merely keep good watch over their own days, they annex every age to their own. All the harvest of the past is added to their store.
Lego Monkie Kid
- Shadow Play
The hero and the warrior were like the sun and the moon, their light a protective glow shining upon the world. Together there was nothing that could stop the two of them, either in the celestial realms or on earth. As time went on, the hero attained power beyond comprehension. As the hero's light grew, so too did his shadow. And so, the warrior was cast in that shadow. In the darkness, the warrior was forgotten by the hero.
