Anathema
- One Last Goodbye
How I needed you... How I grieved now you're gone. In my dreams... I see you; I awake so alone. I know you didn't want to leave. Your heart yearned to stay, but the strength I always loved in you finally gave away, and somehow I knew you could never... never stay, and in the early morning light, after a silent peaceful night, you pushed my heart away.
Stanley Hudson / The Office
- Pretzel Day
I wake up every morning in a bed that's too small, drive my daughter to a school that's too expensive, and then I go to work to a job for which I get paid too little, but on Pretzel Day? Well I like Pretzel Day.
Lee Kuan Yew
When you're Singapore's leader and your existence depends on performance - extraordinary performance, better than your competitors - when that performance disappears because the system on which it's been based becomes eroded, then you've lost everything.
Lee Hsien Loong
We are looking for a path which no country has yet found. If we don't get to the next level then we will have malaise and the angst, and even disillusionment which you see in many developed countries.
Lee Hsien Loong
What will the next 50 years be like? It depends on you. Go for it! Make the most of what you have. Stretch your limits; help one another; work with your fellow citizens as one Singapore team. Show the world what Singapore can be.
Neil
- The 100
In peace, may we leave the shore, in love, may we find the next. Safe passage on your travels, until our final journey to the ground. May we meet again.
Saul Alinsky
Once you accept your own death, all of a sudden you're free to live. You no longer care about your reputation. You no longer care except so far as your life can be used tactically to promote a cause you believe in.
Prince
- Let's Go Crazy
Dearly beloved, we are gathered here today to get through this thing called life. Electric word, life, it means forever and that's a mighty long time. But I'm here to tell you there's something else... The Afterworld. A world of never ending happiness, where you can always see the sun day and night. So when you call up that shrink in Beverly Hills - you know the one, Dr. Everything will be alright - Instead of asking how much of your time is left, ask him how much of your mind, baby.

- Shelter - by Madeon and Porter Robinson
I could never find the right way to tell you, have you noticed I've been gone? Because I left behind the home that you made me. But I will carry it along... And it's a long way forward, so trust in me, I'll give them shelter, like you've done for me. I know, I'm not alone, you'll be watching over us, until you're gone.

Tim O'Brien
- The Things They Carried
They carried the soldier's greatest fear, which was the fear of blushing. Men killed, and died, because they were embarrassed not to. It was what had brought them to the war in the first place, nothing positive, no dreams of glory or honor, just to avoid the blush of dishonor. They died so as not to die of embarrassment.
Sugaru Miaki
- Three Days of Happiness
Fixing your mistakes doesn't mean success takes their place. All it'll give you is just a point to start at. That's something failures don't understand. I found it a little funny remembering how Miyagi said something very similar. They had only just arrived at the starting line.
Litkid
- Loneliness
Have you ever felt that feeling? The feeling of when you get back home and close your door? The creeping, the frequent, the recurring feeling of emptiness and loneliness? Throughout your life the feeling will subside and you'll feel somewhat okay for a while. But out of nowhere the feeling will emerge again, just like it never left and give you a large welcoming hug.
Some Typist
- Bad Typing
There is nothing more discouraging than seeing that average tick down after a particularly bad run. Typically that's my sign to stop procrastinating and to start my actual work, but I just always go back for another run. Here I go!
Anonymous
- Life
You can't expect everything in your life to be perfect. Because life is meant to be imperfect and humans are imperfect. But there's a beauty in human life. Just take your situation as it is and do something about it, if you can; otherwise, ignore it. You can always choose to be happy. Writing something is really difficult.
Holly Black
- The Cruel Prince
You remind me that I am a mere mortal and you are a prince of Faerie. Well, let me remind you that means you have much to lose and I have nothing. You may win in the end, you may ensorcell me and hurt me and humiliate me, but I will make sure you lose everything I can take from you on the way down. I promise you this - this is the least of what I can do.
Clay Shirkey
- Cognitive Surplus - Creativity
The stupidest possible creative act is still a creative act. On the spectrum of creative work, the difference between the mediocre and the good is vast. Mediocrity is, however, still on the spectrum; you can move from mediocre to good in increments. The real gap is between doing nothing and doing something.
Kharl Deisseroth
- Projections
I could do something - not much, but something. And that matters - realizing at a place and moment you have been called to be whatever it is that humanity can be for a person. That is not nothing.
Micheal 'Eyedea' Larsen
- Dream - No Bird Sing ft. Eyedea
Eyes closed, slowly dissipate; Have a stare-down with the sun and hope that it could lift away. I can't say I never made a mistake, but people will be people and I can't hate you cause you changed. No matter how many times I rearrange the chairs in my apartment the walls still look the same. I don't know why I'm here but I'm glad I came, I feel lucky to know you by your first name. Let's dance in the grave of your pain, if I had another chance I'd do it all again the same way.
Invalids
- "Idle Promise"
Once in a while, I find myself floating. If you just stay still, you won't notice the current pulling. Drift, an undulant form, further than seagulls will go. Left the phone beside the bed. I left the key on the desk. Whatever else I may have left, I can come and take the rest. Slow the current goes. Don't wait up til I get home. Tow and tethered flow. I'll be right outside the door. Don't forget your classes start. Don't forget to study hard. Hope you do your best, I do. Sorry I can't be there.
