Steven Universe
- Garnet
Love at first sight doesn't exist. Love takes time, and love takes work. At the very least you have to know the other person... And you literally have no idea who or what I am.
Doc Luben
- 14 Lines From Love Letters or Suicide Notes
I was 8 years old and it took 3 weeks to gather everything I needed to be Batman. Rope, boomerangs, a mardi gras mask with the beads cut off. I couldn't find a cave near my house, so I buried them all in a bundle under the ivy. For years after, I tried to find that spot again. The ivy grew too fast. I searched in so many spots, it seemed impossible I had missed any. How can something be there and then just not be there? How do we forgive ourselves for all of the things we did not become?
Isaac Asimov
- A lifetime of learning
There's only this one universe and only this one lifetime to try to grasp it. And while it is inconceivable that anyone can grasp more than a tiny portion of it, they can at least do that much. What a tragedy just to pass through and get nothing out of it.
Lemony Snicket
- Dedications Part 1
To Beatrice - darling, dearest, dead. For Beatrice - My love for you shall live forever. You, however, did not. For Beatrice - I would much prefer it if you were alive and well. To Beatrice - My love flew like a butterfly Until death swooped down like a bat As the poet Emma Montana McElroy said: "That's the end of that." For Beatrice - You will always be in my heart, in my mind, and in your grave. For Beatrice - When we met, my life began. Soon afterward, yours ended.
Portal 2
- Cave Johnson
Alright I've been thinking. When life gives you lemons, don't make lemonade. Make life take the lemons back! Get mad. I don't want your damn lemons! What am I supposed to do with these? Demand to see life's manager. Make life rue the day it thought it could give Cave Johnson lemons! Do you know who I am? I'm the man who's gonna burn your house down... with the lemons! I'm gonna get my engineers to invent a combustible lemon that burns your house down!
Avengers: Age of Ultron
- Ultron
Do you see? The beauty of it? The inevitability? You rise, only to fall. You, Avengers, you are my meteor, my swift and terrible sword, and the Earth will crack with the weight of your failure. Purge me from your computers, turn my own flesh against me. It means nothing. When the dust settles, the only thing living in this world will be metal.
Kurt Vonnegut
Be soft. Do not let the world make you hard. Do not let pain make you hate. Do not let the bitterness steal your sweetness. Take pride that even though the rest of the world may disagree, you still believe it to be a beautiful place.
Rooster Teeth
- Red VS Blue
Simmons: "You ever wonder why we're here?" Grif: "It's one of life's great mysteries, isn't it? Why are we here? I mean, are we the product of some cosmic coincidence, or is there really a God watching everything? You know, with a plan for us and stuff. I don't know, man, but it keeps me up at night." Simmons: "What? I mean why are we out here, in this canyon?"
Wreck-It Ralph
- Last Lines
But the best part of my day is when the Nicelanders throw me off the roof. Because when they lift me up, I get a perfect view of "Sugar Rush," and I can watch Vanellope racing. The kid's a natural, and the players love her, glitch and all, just like I knew they would. Turns out I don't need a medal to tell me I'm a good guy. Because if that little kid likes me... How bad can I be?
Mary Shelley
- The Mortal Immortal
And the more I live, the more I dread death, even while I abhor life. Such an enigma is man - born to perish - when we war, as I do, against the established laws of his nature.
Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie
- We Should All Be Feminists
We raise girls to see each other as competitors - not for jobs or for accomplishments, which I think can be a good thing - but for the attention of men. We teach girls that they cannot be sexual beings in the way that boys are. Feminist: a person who believes in the social, political, and economic equality of the sexes.
Alfred Lord Tennyson
- Ulysses
The lights begin to twinkle from the rocks, the long day wanes, the slow moon climbs, the deep moans round with many voices. Come, my friends, 'tis not too late to seek a newer world.
