John Constantine
The Devil used to be an angel. That's why he's called 'The First of the Fallen'. You come and ask a holy type and they'll tell you the soul is the purest expression of God's love. The spark of creation. Every time the First takes a soul, he's exacting revenge, paying back the Almighty for casting him out.
Sara Lance
- Legends of Tomorrow
When I was up there in space, floating further and further away, I realized something. No matter where I go, or when I am, I will never be lost, because I have you. You're my north star, you're my guiding light, and wherever you lead me, that is my home.
Akerbeltz
- pangrams
A pangram is a sentence or verse that contains all the letters of the alphabet at least once. Pangrams have been used to display typefaces, test equipment, and develop skills in handwriting, calligraphy, and keyboarding. The best-known English pangram is "The quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog" but there are others I like a lot like: "Sphinx of black quartz, judge my vow." "Pack my box with five dozen liquor jugs."
Vipin M
- A Boy In love
Somewhere I read about love when you love someone it makes you stare death into the eye and tells her that I am not afraid and you are not afraid of death but you are afraid of losing the person you love is that true though because when she left me I wanted to die.
Vladmir Nabokov
- letter to Vera Nabokov
It is late now, I am a bit tired; the sky is irritated by stars. And I love you, I love you, I love you - and perhaps this is how the whole enormous world, shining all over, can be created - out of five vowels and three consonants.
Anne Sexton
- letter to Anne Clarke
I feel lonely. I feel worse - strange. And when I leave I cry in the car. And I say to myself that the trouble with life is that people are strangers. Anne... people are strangers. I don't know if I can go on spilling myself out to people - those strange strangers. As I may have said, I am not at home in myself. I seem to be a ship that is sailing out of my own life.

- All Tomorrows, To Mars
After a millennium of earthbound foreplay, Mankind's achievements on a noteworthy level began with its political unification and the gradual colonization of Mars. While the technology to colonize this world had existed for some time, political bickering, shifting agendas and the sheer inertia of comfortable, terrestrial usurping had made this step seem more distant than it actually was.

- Freedom
What is freedom? It's a circumstance in which you act, talk, and be yourself without a worry about anything. It's likely impossible in this current era of realism where people tend to be realistic, and as the time goes on, Freedom will be something more expensive than anything on earth.

- Thanks
To the butt that is always adding quotes here about the DVORAK keyboard... you butt. I keep coming across your quotes about it, and because of you I have decided to give it a try... and boy am I having fun. It really is easier to use than the QWERTY keyboard. Not to mention more fun. In all seriousness, thank you. You have introduced to me a weird, different, more fun way to go about typing. So thanks.
Walt Whitman
- Song of Myself
I depart as air, I shake my white locks at the runaway sun, I effuse my flesh in eddies, and drift it in lacy jags. I bequeath myself to the dirt to grow from the grass I love, If you want me again look for me under your boot-soles. You will hardly know who I am or what I mean, but I shall be good health to you nevertheless, And filter and fibre your blood. Failing to fetch me at first keep encouraged, Missing me one place search another, I stop somewhere waiting for you.
Walpola Rahula Thero
- On Mindfulness
Mindfulness, or awareness, does not mean that you should think and be conscious 'I am doing this' or 'I am doing that'. No. Just the contrary. The moment you think 'I am doing this', you become self-conscious, and then you do not live in the action, but you live in the idea 'I am', and consequently your work too is spoilt. You should forget yourself completely, and lose yourself in what you do.
Jane Austen
- Private correspondence
She was obliged to recollect that her seeing the letter was a violation of the laws of honour, that no one ought to be judged or to be known by such testimonies, that no private correspondence could bear the eye of others, before she could recover enough calmness to return the letter which she had been meditating over, and say, "Thank you. This is full proof undoubtedly; proof of everything you were saying. But why be acquainted with us now?"

The world in which the carousel will twirl is not the hollow hell you fear; it is the world. Just the world. A world where if you'd wished to have a name it must be stolen, carved and pulled full-bloody from the frame of others who would wish in vain to hold their selfness close. You want a face? Take it.
Jonathan Sims

The music swells through you. The music calls a name that through the tears of half-grasped memories seems almost and eternally familiar. So dance. Dance to the beat of the thump of the chase of the still and plastic horse hooves which cannot break from where they are secured by bolts and glue and eggshell-thin reality that paints a visage of sense almost enough to tell you that the nausea that swells and pushes at the limits of your mind is incorrect. There's nothing wrong.
Jonathan Sims
- Revolutions Magnus Archives 165 - p1
Your face is not your face is not your face around the curling carousel it twists in place to take from you and all the tattered stolen souls whose sense of me is swollen and distended into nothing. Round and round and round it goes and when it deigns to stop who you might be you cannot know, so touch and feel the skin atop your skull to test the limits and extremities of where this canvas comes to rest, in robbed identities and peeling names that you could swear were never yours.
Kimi Raikkonen
- Kimi Raikkonen Announced Retirement from F1
This is it. This will be my last season in Formula 1. This is a decision I did during last winter. It was not an easy decision but after this season it is time for new things. Even though the season is still on, I want to thank my family, all my teams, everyone involved in my racing career and especially all of you great fans that have been rooting for me all this time. Formula 1 might come to an end for me but there is a lot more in life that I want to experience and enjoy.

- Would you sacrifice one person to save five?
Imagine you're watching a runaway trolley barreling down the tracks, straight towards five workers. You happen to be standing next to a switch that will divert the trolley onto a second track. Here's the problem: that track has a worker on it, too - but just one. What do you do? Do you sacrifice one person to save five?
Morgan Harper Nichols
Maybe someday I'll point my face right into the mirror and actually feel layer by layer, that I, too, am beautiful. Maybe that day can be today. Maybe I can stop looking for symmetry and learn to embrace the blemishes; to accept me for me, without the pretense of who I thought I had to be.

- Morgan Harper Nichols
You may have ideas about how others see you, but you are not defined by their perceptions. You are not an object under someone else's magnifying glass, whose only purpose is to be observed. You are a living, breathing human being with a beautiful soul that is on a hope-anchored journey of learning what it means to be whole.
