I have always dreamed of being a professional musician. The only things standing in my way are my stage fright, my fear of travel, and my complete lack of musical talent.

- Philosophy on Decent Mind and Existence
One thinks so often about existing in the future that they don't seem to perceive that they exist in the now. They think that they can do something in anticipation so that they would never have to experience the discomfort of the present. This brings to mind the existence of the past; it is solely possible that it is impossible for the past to exist only on the basis of fact that the only comprehensible time zone is the present. Existing in present is the most pragmatic form of existence.

- Have you no shame, BoJack Horseman?
In the '90s, we laughed at your antics. Oh, how we laughed. "Ha ha ha," we chortled in rapturous glee. But when you deny the dibs called by our men and women on the frontlines, that is a sick joke, sir. A sick, sick joke indeed, and you'll forgive me if I chortle no longer, for, to me, there is nothing the least bit funny about stealing a meal from Neal McBeal, the Navy SEAL.

Ursula K. Le Guin
- Earthsea: The Farthest Shore
You will die. You will not live forever. Nor will any man nor anything. Nothing is immortal. But only to us is it given to know that we must die. And that is a great gift: the gift of selfhood. For we have only what we know we must lose, what we are willing to lose... That selfhood which is our torment, and our treasure, and our humanity, does not endure. It changes; it is gone, a wave on the sea. Would you have the sea grow still and the tides cease, to save one wave, to save yourself?
Courtney Freakin' Miller (Portrayed by Shayne Topp) on Smosh and Order
- Courtney Freakin' Miller closing verdict
I am always who I claimed to be, 'Courtney Freakin' Miller'. I've never claimed to be anything else. You mentioned, you can't take the burp out of the girl, have I ever claimed to burp? I've never burped once and I don't like to because I don't eat food therefore I don't burp. I don't have organs. I am made of pure granite on the inside, do an x-ray! If you are saying that I stole her identity, you're saying my entire existence is a crime, which it is, in different ways! But not in this way!
RuneScape
- Ascension of Guthix
I stabbed him with the elder weapon, driving it deep into his back. The weapon shattered as the god reared back in pain before crashing to the ground. As I watched him take his last breaths, I felt power growing within me. I became a god myself. Equal to those who had tormented my life.
RuneScape
- Zamorak's Rebellion
Hear me, cardinals, scholars of the Church, leaders of the military. Now is the time to rise against the emperor who refuses to show his face! How many of your kin has he sent to their deaths? How many once great races now decay within the walls of this empire? AND FOR WHAT? He has promised you everything, but gives you nothing! Stand with me and together we will bring low a god!

- I Don't Know
It appears that I am in perpetual state of despondency. Every passing day seems wasted and empty. As a student now, my purpose is to achieve exemplary grades and participate in extracurriculars. For what? For college of course! So far I only got one-half right, and the other incomplete because to be honest: I don't have any particular passions. I feel as if I am just drifting through life. In fact, I'm not even sure If I want to go to college! Given your own rich individual experiences: advice?

- Persuasion: Mastering the Art of Influencing Others
For a persuasion tactic to be perfect, there are several elements that must fall into place. Did you know that most of the words that you read or hear do not even register in your brain? They simply pass in and out of your mind without leaving impact. When you speak persuasively, you must break past this tendency to get your message across. Every piece must fall together to communicate your message clearly and in a way that makes people want to listen to and retain what you have to say.

- Is it justified?
If someone has murdered many people and poses a significant danger to humankind, do they deserve to be killed? If they are killed, isn't the one who decides to kill them no better than the murderer themself?
F.Scott Fitzgerald
- The Great Gatsby
I woke up out of the ether with an utterly abandoned feeling and asked the nurse right away if it was a boy or a girl. She told me it was a girl, and so I turned my head away and wept. "All right," I said, "I'm glad it's a girl. And I hope she'll be a fool - that's the best thing a girl can be in this world, a beautiful little fool."
Henry Ward Beecher
- Love, Young and Old
Young love is a flame; very pretty, often very hot and fierce, but still only light and flickering. The love of the older and disciplined heart is as coals, deep burning, unquenchable.
Taylor Swift
- the Last Great American Dynasty
They say she was seen on occasion pacing the rocks staring out at the midnight sea; and in a feud with her neighbor, she stole his dog and dyed it key lime green. Fifty years is a long time; Holiday House sat quietly on that beach, free of women with madness, men and bad habits, and then it was bought by me. Who knows if I never showed up what could've been. There goes the loudest woman this town has ever seen. I had a marvelous time ruining everything. I had a marvelous time...
Taylor Swift
- the last great American dynasty
And they said, "There goes the last great American dynasty. Who knows if she never showed up what could've been. There goes the maddest woman this town has ever seen. She had a marvelous time, ruining everything." Rebekah gave up on the Rhode Island set forever. Flew in all her Bitch Pack friends from the city. Filled the pool with champagne and swam with the big names and blew through the money on the boys and ballet. And losing on card game bets with Dali.
Taylor Swift
- the last great American dynasty
Rebekah rode up on the afternoon train, it was sunny. Her saltbox house on the coast took her mind off St. Louis. Bill was the heir to the standard oil name and money and the town said, "how did a middle-class divorcee do it?" Their wedding was charming, if a little gauche. There's only so far new money goes. They picked out a home and called it holiday house. Their parties were tasteful, if a little loud. The doctor had told him to settle down. It must have been her fault his heart gave out.
Jeremiah S.
- Punishment
Why are we so insistent on punishment? If we are to take punishment and give it a good faith interpretation, it is a chance for people to change their actions. Take a look at what they have done, and realize they are being punished because what they did was wrong. But this system doesn't work. We shouldn't punish because rehabilitation doesn't work that way. Punishment in the sense that I see it, is a way to immaturely feel better about yourself.
RuneScape
- The First Step
I found myself in a world that was both wondrous and alien. It was formed from fire; mutable in state, in countless colours and designs that I lack the words to describe. It was a world of chaos that defied the laws of nature. It was beautiful.
RuneScape
- Zamorak on morality
Truth to be told I do not consider evil a worthwhile pursuit, but neither do I consider it relevant. It is a term given by the close-minded to label a world in shades of black and white, right and wrong. But you and I both know that the world is more than that. It isn't black and white, nor even shades of grey. Morality, like the world, is a myriad of colours in a vast array of shades and hues.
