- all too well
You who charmed my dad with self-effacing jokes. Sipping coffee like you're on a late-night show but then he watched me watch the front door all night willing you to come, and he said it's supposed to be fun turning 21.

- Keep going!
Days can be hard when you have no idea who you want to be. Just because they're hard doesn't mean you don't grow from them. Keep going and keep growing because one day you'll realize that it wasn't just for nothing. If you haven't heard it from someone else you can hear it from me, I'm proud of you.

- Humans are self-deceiving, especially when typing
Humans are self-deceiving. I typed 1500 quotes and achieved stats of 114wpm with 98.5% accuracy. But I know I skipped quotes when I made more than 3 mistakes and only selected the relatively easier ones. So I opened a new account, setting only one rule: regardless of how hard it is, how many mistakes are made: NO SKIP!!! You wanna know what I got? 95wpm with 97% accuracy. This just shows how self-deceiving we are.

- I am the sum total
I am the sum total of everything that went before me, of all I have been seen done, of everything done-to-me. I am everyone everything whose being-in-the-world affected was affected by mine. I am anything that happens after I'm gone which would not have happened if I had not come.

- Champagne Problems
One for the money, two for the show. I never was ready so I watched you go. Sometimes you just don't know the answer until someone's on their knees and asks you.

You can't hurt me. Westley and I are joined by the bonds of love. And you cannot track that, not with a thousand bloodhounds, and you cannot break it, not with a thousand swords.

- The Blood City
Once There was a big city called Ruby City. Ruby City was a very fancy city. But one day, an unexpected earthquake happened. It killed about a thousand people. In one house, there was a baby named John that was born after the earthquake, but his mother had died because of the damage it did to his mother, but the baby didn't know what exactly was happening. "Oh no, Lisi, call 911 and tell them that we need an ambulance!" John's dad said. Lisi nodded and started to call 911. Lisi is one of John's.

- On making Starship Troopers
If I tell the world that a right-wing, fascist way of doing things doesn't work, no one will listen to me. So I'm going to make a perfect fascist world: everyone is beautiful, everything is shiny, everything has big guns and fancy ships; but it's only good for killing bugs!

- Deviously Malignant Keyhero Quote
Intractable otitis media is resistant to antimicrobial therapy, tympanostomy ventilation tube insertion, and surgery. In children, intractable acute otitis media, pathological tympanic membrane due to prolonged otitis media with effusion (OME), tympanic membrane atelectasis, and adhesive otitis media are common. Contrarily, in adults, otitis media caused by drug-resistant pathogens, tuberculous otitis media, cholesterol granuloma, malignant otitis externa (skull base osteomyelitis)...

Rows and rows and rows and rows of the sunflower fields, you promised I'd find at the end, but I was but I was wrong 'cause all along these screens had concealed the apathy in your heart when you hit send.

- All too well
'Till we were dead and gone and buried, check the pulse and come back swearing it's the same, after three months in the grave. And then you wondered where it went to as I reached for you, but all I felt was shame, as you held my lifeless frame. And I know it's long gone and there was nothing else I could do, and I forget about you long enough to forget why I needed to.

Words can break someone into a million pieces, but they can also put them back together. I hope you use yours for good, because the only words you'll regret more than the ones left unsaid are the ones you use to intentionally hurt someone.

- Meeting John B. Mclemore - S Town
John and I go past his workshop, which I'll later learn is filled with disassembled clocks, as well as the rare machines and tools and chemicals he uses to restore them. We go past a big trailer and two old school buses, one yellow and one blue. They're filled with lumber for John's house that he's aging, to get the wood as close as possible to what they used to build the house 200 years ago. We go through a small gated cemetery where the people who built this place have been buried since 1800.

- Life Steps
I read a quote once by coincidence that changed my life. "Sometimes the smallest step in the right direction ends up being the biggest step of your life. TIPTOE if you must, but take the step."
Emily Dickinson
- "Hope" is the thing with feathers
"Hope" is the thing with feathers - That perches in the soul - And sings the tune without the words - And never stops - at all - And sweetest - in the Gale - is heard - And sore must be the storm - That could abash the little Bird That kept so many warm - I've heard it in the chillest land - And on the strangest Sea - Yet - never - in Extremity, It asked a crumb - of me.

- Glasses are very versatile
Glasses are really versatile. First, you can have glasses-wearing girls take them off and suddenly become beautiful, or have girls wearing glasses flashing those cute grins, or have girls stealing the protagonist's glasses and putting them on like, "Haha, got your glasses!" That's just way too cute! Also, boys with glasses! I really like when their glasses have that suspicious looking gleam, and it's amazing how it can look really cool or just be a joke.

- The Hostile Hospital
I feel as if my whole life has been nothing but a dismal play, presented just for someone else's amusement, and that the playwright who invented my cruel twist of fate is somewhere far above me, laughing and laughing at his creation.

- Where's the local Wendy's?
Feeling stuck in life? Perhaps, possibly - potentially typing on a website to achieve a high-score, in the hopes that you produce something to feel accomplished about? If so, me too. If not, then maybe I can politely persuade you to disregard everything prior to this? *insert offended onomatopoeia* The only thing that this fellow is feeling stuck with is trying to finish this quote!

- Dark as a Dungeon - Merle Travis
It's dark as a dungeon as damp as the dew, where the dangers are many and the pleasures are few, where the rain never falls, and the sun never shines, it's as dark as a dungeon down deep in the mine. And the demons of death, often come by surprise, one fall of the slate and you're buried alive.
