- We All Looked Up
The best books, they don't talk about things you never thought about before. They talk about things you'd always thought about, but that you didn't think anyone else had thought about. You read them, and suddenly you're a little bit less alone in the world. You're part of this cosmic community of people who've thought about this thing, whatever it happens to be.

- M+M's
You and I should get away for a while. I just wanna be alone with your smile. Buy some candy and cigarettes and we'll get in my car. We'll blast the stereo and we'll drive to Madagascar, because when I'm with you, there's nothing I wouldn't do. I just wanna be your only one. I'm grasping at straws, thinking back to what I saw that night on the floor when we were all alone.

- Animal Farm and Brainwashing
I saw at least two quotes in here that say the book Animal Farm is about communism. It is not, the author himself said it is allegory of the rich exploiting the working class. It is as, if not more, relevant to capitalism as it is to communism.

My thoughts
- Time
Sometimes, I become incredibly aware of the passage of time. Sometimes, I think too hard about a certain event in the future and it makes me dizzy. While studying for a test, I might imagine being in the exam room and I might try to feel what the future me would feel; I might try to imagine what it would feel like to look back on this moment when it becomes the past. It makes the room spin a little.
Allen Walker - D.Gray Man
Because I am a small man, my heart is moved by what's in front of my eyes, not by what the world needs. I just can't abandon what's there in front of me. I want to protect everything I can.
Lemon Demon
- Touch-Tone Telephone
Don't hang up yet, I'm not done. I'm an expert, I'm the one - the one who was right all along, better to be laughed at than wrong. I'm an expert in my field - UFOlogy, yes it's all real. Ancient aliens, it's all true - I'm an expert just like you, and like you, I'm a genius before my time. Disbelieving, that's the real crime.
Allen Ginsberg
Be careful - you are not in wonderland. I've heard the strange madness long growing in your soul, but you are fortunate in your ignorance, in your isolation. You who have suffered find where love hides. Give, share, lose - lest we die unbloomed.
Carter H Norris
- Why you are lucky
This is proof you are great. You are still alive aren't you. It's impossible for me to describe the chances of you being born, and being here right now reading this quote.
Mark Hoppus
- blink-182 - I Miss You
Hello there, the angel from my nightmare. The shadow in the background of the morgue. The unsuspecting victim of darkness in the valley. We can live like Jack and Sally if we want. Where you can always find me, and we'll have Halloween on Christmas, and in the night we'll wish this never ends. We'll wish this never ends. I miss you.
Laini Taylor
- Strange the Dreamer
And that's how you go on. You lay laughter over the dark parts. The more dark parts, the more you have to laugh. With defiance, with abandon, with hysteria, any way you can.
Nobody
- Lonely
When you are little and lonely, the last kid picked for the game - if you are even picked at all. The kid nobody eats lunch with or invites to their sleepovers unless their mothers insist on everyone being invited - and that's worse, so much worse. Adults tell you that "when you are older you will find true friends, friends who appreciate you just the way you are." It's bull, all of it. Those true friends, for some of us, never show up.
Sophia Hurtado
- Dreams in a nutshell
You go to sleep, you wake up, it has felt like only 5 minutes that you have been dreaming about being rich, or in a zombie apocalypse. Really, dreams are weird, but for the most part they just pass the time.
Hunnie
- Company of Friends, by Danny Schmidt
When I die, let them judge me by my company of friends. Let them know me by the footprints that I left upon the sand. Let them laugh for all the laughter, and let them cry for laughter's end. When I die, let them judge me by my company of friends.
Hunnie
- Pagan Angel and a Borrowed Car, by Iron and Wine
Love was a promise made of smoke in a copse of frozen trees, a bone cold and older than our bodies slowly floating in the sea. Every morning there were planes, the shiny blades of pagan angels, in our fathers' skies. Every evening I would watch her hold the pillow tight against her hollows, her unholy child. I was still a beggar shaking out my stolen coat among the angry cemetery leaves when they caught the king beneath the borrowed car, righteous, drunk, and fumbling for the royal keys.
Lucy Dacus
- Night Shift
Am I a masochist, resisting urges to punch you in the teeth, call you a bitch and leave? Why did I come here? To sit and watch you stare at your feet? What was the plan? Absolve your guilt and shake hands? I feel no need to forgive, but I might as well. But let me kiss your lips, so I know how it felt. Pay for my coffee and leave before the sun goes down. Walk for hours in the dark, feeling all hell.
Barack Obama
- Always Wear the Same Suit
You'll see I wear only gray or blue suits. I'm trying to pare down decisions. I don't want to make decisions about what I'm eating or wearing. Because I have too many other decisions to make. You need to focus your decision-making energy. You need to routinize yourself. You can't be going through the day distracted by trivia.
Sarah Brand is definitely not like other singers. But does that make her music bad? It is not off key. There never was a key. Perhaps one day the people who call her singing off key will look like the people who said Kandinsky's art doesn't look like anything.
