- Criticism
There's a random quote here that criticism is dangerous. That it should be avoided altogether because it causes conflict and damages a person's ego or confidence. I disagree with this because criticisms make a person grow. IF the person refuses to listen to a well-constructed criticism, then it's his loss. At least you tried to be frank.
Emily F
- Barney Tells Robin he loves her - HIMYM
I love her, Nick. I love everything about her, and I am not a guy who says that lightly. I am a guy who has faked love his entire life. I thought love was just something idiots thought they felt. But this woman has a hold on my heart I could not break even if I wanted to and there have been times I wanted to. It has been overwhelming and humbling and even painful at times but, I could not stop loving her any more than I could stop breathing. I am hopelessly irretrievably in love with her.

- Focus
I can't focus, I have too much to do and I don't know where to start. What do you do when you feel overwhelmed? Me? I procrastinate until I am forced to do what must be done. If you're typing this quote I have a request: Leave your own quote about how you handle stress, I could use the tips.
Sarah J. Maas
- Heir of Fire - Rowan Galathynius
You collect scars because you want proof that you are paying for whatever sins you've committed. And I know this because I've been doing the same damn thing for two hundred years. Tell me, do you think you will go to some blessed Afterworld, or do you expect a burning hell? You're hoping for hell - because how could you face them in the Afterworld? Better to suffer, to be damned for eternity.
Thucydides (Translated by Richard Crawley)
- Funeral Oration of Pericles
For heroes have the whole earth for their tomb; and in lands far from their own, where the column with its epitaph declares it, there is enshrined in every breast a record unwritten with no tablet to preserve it, except that of the heart. These take as your model and, judging happiness to be the fruit of freedom and freedom of valour, never decline the dangers of war.
Resident Evil Village
- Cult of the Black God Prayer
Great ones, hear our voice, together as one in reverence. We call on thee within the endless dark to deliver us into fate's hands. As the midnight moon rises on black wings, so we make our sacrifice and await the light at the end. In life and in death, we give glory, Mother Miranda.

Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn
- Arrest! -The Gulag Archipelago
Arrest! Need it be said that it is a breaking point in your life, a bolt of lightning which has scored a direct hit on you? That it is an unassimilable spiritual earthquake not every person can cope with, as a result of which people often slip into insanity?
Gojira
- Love
Last night alone, I met the moon. I saw its halo and the love around. "Now take the path, don't ever lose your time. Just watch the light you have inside." I watched inside and my eyes burned. The moon was right. The roots so deep, and the head so high. I want to be in, and watch it out. I know the reasons why I failed. The stars illuminate my being. Behold thy servant, you the force around, that makes planets be.

- The End of Your Life Book Club
Because when you read about it, it's easier to recognize. That was always the hardest thing in the refugee camps - to hear the stories of the people who had been raped or mutilated or forced to watch a parent or sister or a child be raped or killed. It's very hard to come face to face with such cruelty. But people can be cruel in lots of ways, some very subtle. I think that's why we all need to read about it.

- Utsuro wo aogu
I roam, under the illusion of escape, around the tumultuous and aloof cityscape. There's no such thing as fun without a cog in the works, don't cower, fight!

- School
I don't think that school is all that useful for me. When I die, all the stuff that I learned in school will go to waste. Not that I learn anything anyway. I have almost all f's because I keep missing classes because they're too scary. My classmates are all annoying, they all kick my chair. I can't focus even if I wanted to. I keep accidentally zoning out in the middle of class, I keep accidentally not paying attention. I do want to pay attention, I swear! It's just too hard.

My tip to improve your typing speed is to read the words instead of each letter. You achieve this after you have done a lot of typing practice. When you notice that you type the words fastly but have frequent pauses, or your error rate increases, then you should try this. By this time the words are in your muscle memory and would just come off in units as you read them. The result would be a marked improvement in your typing speed.
Edgar Allen Poe
But our love it was stronger by far than the love of those who were older than we, of many far wiser than we. And neither the angels in Heaven above nor the demons down under the sea can ever dissever my soul from the soul of the beautiful Annabel Lee.
Taylor Swift
- Lavender Haze pt2
All they keep asking me is if I'm gonna be your bride. The only kind of girl they see is a one night or a wife. I find it dizzying, they're bringing up my history, but you weren't even listening. I feel the lavender haze creeping up on me, surreal, I'm damned if I do give a damn what people say. No deal, the 1950 shit they want from me. I just wanna stay in that lavender haze. Talk your talk and go viral, I just need this love spiral, get it off your chest, get it off my desk.
Taylor Swift
- Lavender Haze pt1
Meet me at midnight. Staring at the ceiling with you oh, you don't ever say too much. And you don't really read into my melancholia. I been under scrutiny, you handle it beautifully, all this shit is new to me. I feel the lavender haze creeping up on me, surreal, I'm damned if I do give a damn what people say. No deal, the 1950 shit they want from me. I just wanna stay in that lavender haze.
Noah Kahan
- Homesick
I would leave if only I could find a reason. I'm mean because I grew up in New England. I got dreams but I can't make myself believe them. Spend the rest of my life with what could have been, and I will die in the house that I grew up in. I'm homesick.

- Fold in the Cheese
"Yes, and now I'm passing it on to you! So try to keep up. Next step is to fold in the cheese." "What does that mean? What does "fold in the cheese" mean?" "You fold it in." "I, I understand that, but how, how do you fold it? Do you fold it in half like a piece of paper and drop it in the pot, or what do you do?" "David, I cannot show you everything." "OK, well, can you show me one thing?" "You just... here's what you do. You just fold it in."
League of Legends
- Aphelios
Emerging from moonlight's shadow with weapons drawn, Aphelios kills the enemies of his faith in brooding silence-speaking only through the certainty of his aim, and the firing of each gun. Though fueled by a poison that renders him mute, he is guided by his sister Alune in her distant temple sanctuary from where she pushes an arsenal of moonstone weapons into his hands. For as long as the moon shines overhead, Aphelios will never be alone.
Harumi
No, Lloyd. There was never anything between us. It hurts, doesn't it? There's nothing more powerful than a blow to the heart. We found her after she tracked down young Wu. Helpful of her. Prepare the ceremony. We begin at nightfall.
