There was a study showing that silver medalists tend to be the least happy of the podium finishers, mostly because bronze medalists are happy to get a medal rather than not, while silver medalists are forced to confront the reality that they could have gotten gold but didn't.

- Live for You; Die for You
I don't wanna be reduced to just one good memory, I want to be remembered in all ways. In bad or good. In all selfless and selfish ways. You can't make me into a saint, okay? I'm a demon-child. I'm the bane of your existence. And I'm everything else you want me to be. Just... don't cheapen the way I lived. Not with how short it was. Is that okay? Remember me. Please.
A Practical Guide to Evil
- In Dread Crowned
Be they high or resplendent our oaths stand taller still. And in the west do quiet lie graves we have yet to fill. Learn ye mighty that from Tower's shade to vales of red, The Fifteenth by call of horn stands ever crowned in dread.
Bruce Mclaren
To do something well is so worthwhile that to die trying to do it better cannot be foolhardy. It would be a waste of life to do nothing with one's ability, for I feel that life is measured in achievement, not in years alone.
Iain Reid
- I'm Thinking of Ending Things
For years, my life has been flat. I'm not sure how else to describe it. I've never admitted it before. I'm not depressed, I don't think. That's not what I'm saying. Just flat, listless. So much has felt accidental, unnecessary, arbitrary. It's been lacking a dimension. Something seems to be missing.
Iain Reid
- I'm Thinking of Ending Things
A memory is its own thing each time it's recalled. It's not absolute. Stories based on actual events often share more with fiction than fact. Both fictions and memories are recalled and retold. They're both forms of stories. Stories are the way we learn. Stories are how we understand each other. But reality happens only once.
TRBeyes
An eye for an eye makes the whole world blind. I would rather live in a world where we try to treat people like Mr. Rogers did than one where we all race to the bottom. Both kindness and evil can grow exponentially. Being nice to someone else costs me nothing, and at least I try to make the world a better place.
Glee, 06x13 "Dreams Come True"
- Sue Sylvester - Auditorium Dedication
It takes a lot of bravery to look around you and see the world not as it is, but as it should be. A world where the quarterback becomes best friends with the gay kid, and the girl with the big nose ends up on Broadway. Finding the courage to open up your heart and sing about it. That's what Glee Club is. And for the longest time, I thought that was silly. And now I think it's just about the bravest thing that anyone could do.
J. Alden Brett
- Carl Lotave's Epitaph (Summit of Pike's Peak)
I knew a man in whom art lived and died, with genius flamed, full blown by passion's wind- whose tyrant heart, fierce, arrogant and proud still trod with kings the commonest of dust. O princely hand- mistaken prodigal- great pagan- we deign to lift to thee who challenged life- whose ardent zeal forever climbed and never feared to fall- one draught of pure and envious salute! Through pain thy courage opened wide the rift of God's infinity! Farewell, O soul.. on starlit seas adrift.

- Good Old Days
I wish somebody would have told me that, some day, these will be the good old days. All the love you won't forget, and all these reckless nights you won't regret. Someday soon your whole life's gonna change; you'll miss the magic of these good old days.
Wikipedia
- Magic
Magic was invoked in many kinds of rituals and medical formulae, and to counteract evil omens. Defensive or legitimate magic in Mesopotamia (asiputu or masmassutu in the Akkadian language) were incantations and ritual practices intended to alter specific realities. The ancient Mesopotamians believed that magic was the only viable defense against demons, ghosts, and evil sorcerers.

- Knocks you down
Sometimes love comes around. When it knocks you down just get back up, when it knocks you down. I never thought I'd ever feel this way. Ya'll go ahead, I think I'm gonna kick it with my girl today.
Robin Hobb
- Fool's Errand
Death is always less painful and easier than life! You speak true. And yet we do not, day to day, choose death. Because ultimately, death is not the opposite of life, but the opposite of choice. Death is what you get when there are no choices left to make.

The Adventure Zone: Balance
- Maureen's Prophecy
I saw all of existence, all at once. I saw a dark storm, a living hunger eating it from within. But I saw a brilliant light heralded by seven birds, flying tirelessly from the storm. I saw seven birds. The Twins, The Lover, The Protector, The Lonely Journal-keeper, The Peacemaker, and the Worldless One.

Not even that, he corrected himself. It was a sign of cosmic obliviousness. The universe didn't know what was happening here. It didn't know and it didn't care. It didn't even know that it didn't know.
Sayaka Saeki
- None of it Matters
And so I decided never to fall in love again, to avoid complicating things further. I was supposed to be embracing those ideas right here and now. But in that instant... All at once, none of it mattered anymore.
