- Disfigured - Chap. 1
It begins, as all fairy tales do, with a problem. Once upon a time, a woodcutter and his wife lived alone and had no children. Once upon a time, a wealthy man's wife died and he was lonely, so he married another woman who was cruel to his children. Once upon a time, a mermaid, looking out beyond the sea, longed to find herself on land.

- Hope this is helpful
Read the word in your head slowly as you type it, and try to look at each part of the word as you type it (it's surprising how often you scan ahead and end up looking at the next word while you're still typing the previous one - disaster); and don't just do the classic typing test - do the instant death test too. Both slowing down and focussing as well as forcing yourself to go faster will get you to the scores you dream of.
Bennett Foddy on Getting Over It 84 Seconds Speedrun
- Love Letter to Speedrunners
The role of the speedrunner is the exact opposite of a game designer. A designer carves a beautiful sculpture out of wood, first chiseling it from a raw block, then rounding off rough edges, ensuring it works from any angle. The speedrunner carefully examines the sculpture from every angle, deeply understanding it, appreciating the design's strengths and weaknesses. Then, having understood it perfectly, they break it over their knee. That's why I love speedrunners.

- Pilate's dream
I dreamt I met a Galilean, a most amazing man. He had that look you very rarely find. The haunting, hunted kind. I asked him to say what had happened. How it all began. I asked again, he never said a word. As if he hadn't heard. And next the room was full of wild and angry men. They seemed to hate this man. They fell on him and then they disappeared again. Then I saw thousands of millions crying for this man. And then I heard them mentioning my name and leaving me the blame.
Doin' What Comes Naturally
You don't have to know how to read or write when you're out with a fella in the pale moonlight. You don't have to look in a book to find what he thinks of the moon or what is on his mind. That comes naturally.
I, Libertine
I'm very excited to see all my quotes fall into the void. I just can't see why anyone would want to be seen. Every time someone says that they talked about me when I wasn't there or someone likes my story on Instagram I lose my mind!
Ashley Rosetta
- Lemons
In a world full of lemon's you make lemonade. Taste of sweet but sour at the same time. Bright and yellow like the sun. Delightful to the thirst. Fallen from a evergreen tree, picked to perfection. Made into Lemon juice.

- Pink Pony Club
I'm having wicked dreams of leaving Tennessee. Oh Santa Monica, I swear it's calling me. Won't make my mama proud, it's gonna cause a scene. She sees her baby girl, I know she's gonna scream, "God, what have you done? You're a pink pony girl, and you dance at the club." "Oh mama, I'm just having fun! On the stage in my heels, it's where I belong, down at the Pink Pony Club."

- The Law
For those who truly value life, speed limit signs are just suggestions. After all, who really takes them seriously and follows them to the letter? 50 miles an hour Phat, 150 sounds more like it.
Cuttlefish That Loves Diving
- Azik Eggars - Lord of Mysteries, Chapter 113
I don't know any other person with extraordinary powers... You cannot imagine what emotions a man without a past has. You are like a boat floating in a vast ocean. The most terrifying thing is not facing a storm, but not being able to find a harbor. The inability to navigate to shore. All you can do is take on disaster after disaster, with no end in sight, never to feel peace and safety.
Old Guard
- He's not my Boyfriend
"You're a child," Joe snaps back. "He's not my boyfriend. This man is more to me than you can dream. He's the moon when I'm lost in darkness, and warmth when I shiver in cold. And his kiss still thrills me even after a millennium. His heart overflows with a kindness of which this world is not worthy. I love this man beyond measure and reason. He's not my boyfriend. He is all, and he is more.

- Boiling Water
You cannot see your reflection in boiling water. Similarly, you cannot see the truth in a state of anger. When the waters calm that is when clarity comes.
Chitty Chitty Bang Bang
- Roses of Succes
From the ashes of disaster grow the roses of success. For every big mistake you make, be grateful. That mistake you'll never make again. Every shiny dream that fails and dies, generates the steam for two more tries! There's magic in the wake of a fiasco. It gives you that chance to second guess. Then up from the ashes - up from the ashes - grow the roses of success.
Dr. K
- Talent
Talent is a scam. Talent is the external way of viewing a very good intuition. So now the question becomes, what is the difference between these people? So if you wanna develop your intuition, there's a couple of things you need to do. The first is take in a lot of information, the more you take in, the more your intuition will grow. Second thing, we need a low level of chronic stress and a high level of acute stress. Third, when inputting information, be active with it.

- Never give up
If you give up before you have accomplished what you are wanting to achieve what do you have? You have waisted time, effort, emotion. Nothing can change that apart from you. You are your biggest supporter. Things aren't going to go the way that you would like. That is the beauty in failure. So never give up on the things that you would like to succeed in.
Into the Woods
If you know what you want, then you go, and you find it, and you get it. And you give and you take, and you bid and you bargain, or you live to regret it. There are rights and wrongs and in-betweens. No one waits when fortune intervenes! Only two more tries, then we'll have our prize. When the end is in sight you'll realize if the end is right, it justifies the means.
Stephen King
- Don't answer that phone! -- Pet Sematary
He was working his way back to the stove when the telephone rang. Don't answer that, you don't want to answer that because that's the bad news, that's the end of the leash that leads around the corner and into the darkness, and I don't think you want to see what's on the other end of that leash, Louis, I really don't think you do, so don't answer that phone, run, run now, the car's in the garage, get in and take off, but don't answer that phone. He crossed the room and picked it up.

Quick. Quick. Quick. It's a fast-moving quote that won't leave you flustered and bothered. We can all go fast, right? Quick. Quickly get that right pinky finger down to the question mark key! Up over the one now! Yes! How's that working for you?

I saw another quote that asked if you ever come across your own quotes and the answer is yes! every time I get on here I find a quote that I have written which is funny because there are thousands of quotes on here!
A Very Sympathic Artist
Sometimes, I think about all the sketches I've killed when drawing. They are so important to my art and it feels wrong to erase them like they never existed in the first place. It's why I draw digitally, so I can keep them forever and they never have to die.
