George Carlin
- Religion
We created god in our own image and likeness! Religion convinced the world that there's an invisible man in the sky who watches everything you do. And there's 10 things he doesn't want you to do or else you'll go to a burning place with a lake of fire until the end of eternity. But he loves you! And he needs money! He's all powerful, but he can't handle money!
Galileo
- Religion/reason
I do not think it is necessary to believe that the same God who has given us our senses, reason, and intelligence wished us to abandon their use, giving us by some other means the information that we could gain through them.
Desmond S Tutu
- Religion
There is a story, which is fairly well known, about when the missionaries came to Africa. They had the Bible and we, the natives, had the land. They said "Let us pray," and we dutifully shut our eyes. When we opened them, why, they now had the land and we had the Bible.
Bangtan Sonyeondan
- 2!3!
I can't say words like "let's only walk along flower paths." And I can't say words like "let's only look at the good things from now on." I can't also lie and say that from now on, there will only be good things in store for us; that we will not get hurt anymore. I can't just say those words and outright lie to you. But when things don't go the way that you like, just remember that it's okay. When I count, starting with 123, clear your head of all your doubts. And hope for better days.

See, the rain is nice, but I don't really like getting wet. Wait, what in the world? No, I went under the awning. Why is it still raining? That's not fair...
Min Yoongi
- So Far Away
I'm living because I can't die. But I don't have anything that I want to do. I'm in so much pain and loneliness but people around me keep telling me to regain my enthusiasm. I try to vent my anger but I only have myself, so what's the point of venting it anyway? And with that, I'm scared to open my eyes every day and start breathing. Even my friends and family are drifting away and I feel anxious as time passes by because it feels like I'm all by myself.
Caine
- You Never Know - Menace II Society
Went into the store just to get a beer. Came out an accessory to murder and armed robbery. It's funny like that in the hood sometimes. You never know what was gonna happen, or when. After that, I knew it was gonna be a long summer.
Curtis Baldwin
- Writing
I write to think and I think to write. The more I think, the more I write; the more I write, the more I read; the more I read, the more I think. It is beautiful, isn't it?

- Criticism
People often criticize others. This always confused me, as I didn't understand how anyone could think themselves righteous enough to criticize others. It then occurred to me that I was thinking too logically. No one criticizes others. They simply criticize other people that they can liken to the parts of themselves that they don't like.
Curtis Baldwin
- Down the Rabbit Hole
One day I wondered how fast I could type. Next thing I know, I'm buying a used mechanical keyboard and complaining about the accuracy measure of certain typing websites.
Frédéric Chopin
Simplicity is the final achievement. After one has played a vast quantity of notes and more notes, it is simplicity that emerges as the crowning reward of art.
Unus Annus
- You'll dig a grave with me
Digging our friend a grave. Digging our friend a grave. When the road gets rough ahead, you can just dig a grave and throw your friend in instead. No don't go back to that comfortable bed. Oh you'll dig a grave with me(Ay buddy!) You'll dig a grave with me(Oh come on!) You'll dig a grave with me! You'll dig a grave with me! You'll dig a grave with me! You'll dig a grave with me! You'll dig a grave with me! You'll dig a grave with me!
Demi Lovato
- The Way You Don't Look at Me
I've lost ten pounds in two weeks cause I told me I shouldn't eat. I gained a new vice, way more than twice I've slept on bathroom floors. I lost my temper and locked in my fingers, looking for answers there aren't really answers for. And I've been to hell and back, but this isn't that. Cause when you say nothing, it's much worse than things I've overcome and this hurts harder than my time in heaven. You don't think I see the way you don't look at me.

Honestly, why can't we all just sit down and get along? Everyone always has something bad to say about others. Even if there was a perfect human being, someone will find something bad about them. It's fueled by people's jealousy. They are jealous that someone has something they don't have. It's stupid really.
Paul R. Cavendish
Don't go patting yourself on the back for hating your enemy. Whether they deserve it or not, admit that's the default option, the lazy one, the one chosen by people who do not want to think or see nuance.
Leo Tolstoy
- War and Peace
Do you ever get the feeling that nothing is ever going to happen to you again, nothing at all, and anything good is in the past? And you don't feel bored exactly, but very, very sad?
olivia rodrigo - SOUR
- traitor
When she's sleeping in the bed we made, don't you dare forget about the way you betrayed me. I know that you'll never feel sorry for the way I hurt. You talked to her when we were together, you gave me your word but that didn't matter. It took you two weeks to go off and date her. Guess you didn't cheat but you're still... you're still a traitor.

All these quotes are about dreams and they are very motivating, but they fail to capture the hardships in life. They fail to remind you that it's ok to have off days or it's ok to not be ok. Just remember that not every day will be full of sunshine and rainbows, but that's perfectly perfect.
Frances Hodgson Burnett
- The Secret Garden: Chapter 4
Mary lay and watched her for a few moments and then began to look about the room. She had never seen a room at all like it and thought it curious and gloomy. The walls were covered with tapestry with a forest scene embroidered on it. There were fantastically dressed people under the trees and in the distance there was a glimpse of the turrets of a castle. There were hunters and horses and dogs and ladies. Mary felt as if she were in the forest with them.
J. Sheridan LeFanu
- Carmilla: Chapter 2
I am now going to tell you something so strange that it will require all your faith in my veracity to believe my story. It is not only true, nevertheless, but truth of which I have been an eyewitness. It was a sweet summer evening, and my father asked me, as he sometimes did, to take a little ramble with him along that beautiful forest vista which I have mentioned as lying in front of the schloss.
