The Stylistics
- You Make Me Feel Brand New
God bless you; you make me feel brand new, for God blessed me with you. You make me feel brand new. I sing this song 'cause you make me feel brand new.

- Clean and Pretty
The doubt that had been whispering was suddenly shouting, screaming at me to save my own life before it was too late. But it was too late, wasn't it? Trains never stop moving, not for anyone, no matter how hard you fight to go back to the place you willingly left.

- 3 O'Clock Things
It's kinda funny how I paid for college when YouTube was an option. But then I would have had to spend my best years skipping ads and reading comments. And when did advertisements get so good? They're like narcotics. So now I'm spending every penny I own. I should've allotted to finishing college.
Franz Kafka is Dead
Franz Kafka is dead. He died in a tree from which he wouldn't come down. "Come down!" they cried to him. "Come down! Come down!" Silence filled the night, and the night filled the silence, while they waited for Kafka to speak. "I can't," he finally said, with a note of wistfulness. "Why?" they cried. Stars spilled across the black sky. "Because then you'll stop asking for me."
Matthew Kelly - Life is Messy
- Human Beings
When human beings are at their best, they face the difficulties of life head-on. They learn to delay gratification, embrace reality, release illusions, accept responsibility for their lives, and live in the wisdom that the most satisfying experiences are often difficult.
Kerrign Byrne
- Protection (from Tempting Fate)
She whirled on him. "I don't need protection." He pressed his lips closed, knowing that now wasn't the time to disagree. Her expression flattened as she crossed her arms over her chest. "I realize I hired you for your protection physically. But I don't need to be protected from information, is what I meant."
Ruby Dixon
- What we should and shouldn't do (from When She Belongs)
You should stay back." I don't like that she's going to be in danger. "You shouldn't have ripped your arm off and beat someone with it, but we'll talk about what we should and shouldn't do later," she tells me in a prim voice. "For now, we need to go kill another alien.
Christopher Hitchens
- False Security
Don't take refuge in the false security of consensus, and the feeling that whatever you think you're bound to be okay because you're in the safely moral majority.

Exploratory engineering is the exclusively usage of well established knowledge in a fail-safe wasteful way to gain rough but reliable knowledge about the lower bounds of what is in principle doable. It allows one to probe the timeless potential of technology (in some high dimensional landscape of performance parameters).

- easy peasy
Nothing today will matter in the long run, unless of course you are making major life changing decisions today, then maybe. If not then chalk it up to being Friday and have a great weekend.

- Hurt
Sometimes it's best not to let intrusive thoughts win. I could have slapped you. I could have said really ugly words. But I realize that those intrusive thoughts are much like a hurt animal. They are so hurt and scared that they use the only way they know to defend themselves: aggression. Never let those thoughts win, because you will always regret it afterwards.
The Bible - ESV
- 1John 4:7-8
Beloved, let us love one another, for love is from God, and whoever loves has been born of God and knows God. Anyone who does not love does not know God, because God is love.
Uncle Iroh
- Iroh's Speech to Zuko
Is it your own destiny, or is it a destiny someone else has tried to force on you? I'm begging you, Prince Zuko! It's time for you to look inward and begin asking yourself the big questions: Who are you, and what do you want?
Dipper Pines
- Goodbye Gravity Falls
If you've ever taken a road trip through the Pacific Northwest, you've probably seen a bumper sticker for a place called Gravity Falls. It's not on any maps, and most people have never heard of it. Some people think it's a myth. But if you're curious, don't wait. Take a trip. Find it. It's out there somewhere in the woods, waiting.
Taylor Swift
- Come Back... Be Here
This is falling in love in the cruelest way. This is falling for you and you are worlds away. In New York, be here... but you're in London, and I break down 'cause it's not fair that you're not around.
Hart of Dixie - Wade Kinsella
- "If It Makes You Happy"
Sometimes I think you are just the saddest person in the world. You're always looking over your shoulder wondering what life should be, instead of taking it for what it is. You're not honest about what makes you happy... Clearly, something about every one of those choices makes you happy. The problem is, they don't match up with the picture you have in your head about what your life should be... You wanna be happy, Doc? Change your picture. Or change your life. Good night.

The ancient Greeks were an interesting bunch of people. They ranged from the democratic and sea-faring Athenians to the militaristic Spartans and the great conquerors of Macedonia. They managed to colonize many parts of the Mediterranean, including what is now modern day Italy and Turkey. One interesting thing about the Greeks is that they never drank pure wine. It was considered barbaric to do so. They instead diluted their wine, two parts water to one part wine.

- The Walking Dead Video Game
So, I just played this game. It was the most heartbreaking thing I've ever played or watched. I got super attached to this game. Lee, my favorite character, started his journey in the apocalypse in handcuffs, and ended it in handcuffs. I'm currently playing season 2, and it better not be as sad as season 1. Ah, poor Clementine.
Harry Styles
- As It Was
Go home, get ahead, light-speed Internet, I don't want to talk about the way that it was. Leave America, two kids follow her, I don't want to talk about who's doing it first. Hey!
Harry Styles
- As It Was
Answer the phone. Harry you're no good alone. Why are you sitting at home on the floor? What kind of pills are you on. Ringing the bell and nobody's coming to help. Your daddy lives with himself, he just wants to know that you're well. In this world, it's just us, you know it's not the same as it was.
