Fernando Pessoa
- The Book of Disquiet
Man should not be able to see his own face. Nothing is more terrible than that. Nature gave him the gift of being unable to see either his face or into his own eyes. He could only see his own face in the waters of rivers and lakes. Even the posture he had to adopt to do so was symbolic. He had to bend down, to lower himself, in order to suffer the ignominy of seeing his own face. The creator of the mirror poisoned the human soul.

- Love - Good Will Hunting - Robin Williams
I'd ask you about love, you'd probably quote me a sonnet. But you've never looked at a woman and been totally vulnerable. Known someone that could level you with her eyes, feeling like God put an angel on earth just for you. Who could rescue you from the depths of hell. And you wouldn't know what it's like to be her angel, to have that love for her, be there forever, through anything, through cancer.

I keep seeing a quote on here about being left-handed. To that individual, speak for yourself. I do literally everything left-handed with the exception of three things; cutting my meat, throwing things such as balls and rocks, and drinking. That's all I do right-handed. What this other speaker is speaking about is ambidexterity. Which is okay, don't get me wrong. He's probably just not aware of the fact that he is ambidextrous. That's all.
Pineapple on pizza is actually delicious. So is shredded cheddar cheese on vanilla ice cream. Peanut butter and pickles combine beautifully. Some people hate what they do not understand, but do not let them prevent you from experiencing the deliciousness of these combinations.

- It's just a ride
Behind all the dark humor, Bill was talking about the same things I'd read in Joseph Campbell. If you look at things, really look, if you lift the veil, you start to recognize that light is love, is infinite, is unconditional. Bill was saying that once you understand the nature of nature, you can let go of difficulties and sign on for the ride - knowing that it's just a ride.

Gay marriage does not make sense. Marriage is an antiquated tradition that essentially consists of a man acquiring a woman as property. With two men and two women, which is the purchaser and which is being purchased? Which is the master and which is the slave? Which asks the other's father for permission to take his child as personal property?

What is life? Is life a game? Yes. Life is a game, and the hunter is approaching. Whether the hunter will become the hunted remains to be seen. Will the sun awaken from its sleep?

Heterosexuals are such hypocrites. If you are not attracted to your own gender, why do you expect people of the opposite gender to be attracted to you?

Over time, the keycaps on your keyboard will accumulate oils and grime from your hours of existential crisis-inducing typing on this website. Naturally, you will want to clean the keycaps. But you should never be like me and use Lysol or Clorox wipes for this purpose! They leave a sticky and smooth residue that ruins the grippy texture of PBT or new ABS keycaps.

- Beside me brother
Stand beside me brother. Brothers in arms we'll be. We will fight till we can fight no more. We must come home carrying our shields or on our shields. Give me liberty or give me death. I will not surrender this freedom I have for anything. I will fight for you and for all of us.

- Stand Up Straight
To stand up straight with your shoulders back is to accept the terrible responsibility of life, with eyes wide open. It means deciding to voluntarily transform the chaos of potential into the realities of habitable order. It means adopting the burden of self-conscious vulnerability, and accepting the end of the unconscious paradise of childhood, where finitude and mortality are only dimly comprehended.

If it didn't hurt so much, I thought it might even be funny, Margaret's timing. Michael's timing. My own. The second I'd realized that I loved Clara - the night that Ben came home from his first business trip - Michael had swept in to claim her. Michael had held on ever since. The joke was that as soon as I recognized love, as soon as I named it, its object was no longer mine.

If I who was previously revolting am now this far from my crazy self, how much further are you who were never revolting, and how much deeper your revulsion?

- Sometimes I Lie
I've always delighted in the free fall between sleep and wakefulness. Those precious few semiconscious seconds before you open your eyes, when you catch yourself believing that your dreams might just be your reality. A moment of intense pleasure or pain, before your senses reboot and inform you who and where and what you are. For now, for just a second longer, I'm enjoying the self-medicated delusion that permits me to imagine that I could be anyone, I could be anywhere, I could be loved.

The way he leaps off of rooftops and flips backwards before falling into a head first dive is just FULL of the exaggerated swagger of a black teen. It gives me goose bumps every time he does it.

- Annoying Ctrl+W no more
While typing on a desktop keyboard, always remove left control key cap when you want to type a little faster to prevent unintentional tab shutdown ctrl+w. It makes you feel great knowing this silly painstaking accident would not happen that much anymore. And of course if you will, remember to put that cap back in place.

Actually, I realized it a long time ago. I knew I wanted to go there. I wanted nothing more than that. That's why, honestly... I never wanted anything genuine.

- A Conqueror
Even the inferiority you feel is actually a quality of a conqueror. You may grumble a lot, but you know how small you are. And yet you still struggle to reach heights greater than you can imagine. Glory lies beyond the horizon. Challenge it because it is unreachable. Speak of conquest and demonstrate it. I shall grieve, and I shall weep. But I shall never regret.

- Living is more important than having a Legacy
I suppose having your name recorded in the history books is a form of immortality. But if that just means your name gets passed down for two thousand years and nothing else, I'd have preferred to have even a hundredth of that added to my actual life.
