Sherlock Holmes
Taking your own life is an interesting expression, taking it from whom? Once it's over, it's not you who'll miss it. Your own death is something that happens to everybody else. Your life is not your own. Keep your hands off it.
Thomas Thorne - BBC Ghosts
- Sunrise
I was just thinking, it ought to be dull and commonplace - the same sunrise over the same house in the same tiny piece of England every day for 200 years. But it is beautiful. I travelled miles and was unchanged when I could have been here and... transported. It's no fault of the sun if the eye sees not its beauty.
Colleen Hoover
- oceans pt 3
I thought long and hard about us, and I think things are finally how they're supposed to be. I have Ryle. Atlas has his girlfriend. We both have the careers we'd always hoped for. Just because we didn't end up on the same wave doesn't mean we aren't still a part of the same ocean. Sometimes an unexpected wave comes along sucks you up, and refuses to spits you back out. Ryle is my unexpected tidal wave, and right now I'm skimming the beautiful surface.
Colleen Hoover
- oceans pt 2
I brought so much with me that my impressions would always be there, even when the tide rolled out. Until he comes back for me, I'm just going to keep pretending to be okay. I'll keep pretending to swim, when really all I'm doing is floating. Barely keeping my head above the water.
Colleen Hoover
- oceans pt1
It gets really hard to swim when you feel like you're anchored in water. Imagine all the people you meet in your life. They come in like waves, trickling in and out with the tide. Some waves are much bigger and make more of an impact than others. Sometimes the waves bring with them things from deep in the bottom of the sea and they leave those things tossed onto the shore. Imprints against the grains of sand that prove the waves had once been there, long after the tide recedes.
F.Scott Fitzgerald
- The Great Gatsby
I woke up out of the ether with an utterly abandoned feeling and asked the nurse right away if it was a boy or a girl. She told me it was a girl, and so I turned my head away and wept. "All right," I said, "I'm glad it's a girl. And I hope she'll be a fool - that's the best thing a girl can be in this world, a beautiful little fool."
Roxxy
- assholes
A lot of the time, as a person, I usually say that people are assholes. I mean, after all, I'm only ever going to see life through my eyes. But after a lot of thinking, recently I've concluded that maybe I'm the one who's an asshole.
Roxxy
- The end of the f***ing world
It's strange. A lot of the time you don't register the important moments as they happen. You only see that they were important when you look back. I was never Alyssa's protector. She was mine.

- The end of the f***ing world
Sometimes, everything is suddenly really simple, you step out and you see where you are really clearly. You see yourself, and you think, 'fuck this shit.'.
The Frights
- Tongues
Everybody knows I'm right, I can't control, I got my eyes on you all night. We just haven't got a clue, I keep my love, I want my blood inside of you. Do you think I'm cute? Well is it too late to check? And I don't care, I got your tongue against my neck. Do you like my style? Have you seen my shoes? 'Cause, they've been ripped from to shit from walking the world for you.

Load up on guns, bring your friends. It's fun to lose and to pretend. She's over-bored and self-assured. Oh no, I know a dirty word. And I forget just why I taste. Oh yeah, I guess it makes me smile. I found it hard, was hard to find. Oh well, whatever, never mind.
The Chainsmokers
- Roses
Deep in my bones, I can feel you. Take me back to a time only we knew. Hideaway. We could waste the night with an old film. Smoke a little weed on the couch in the back room. Hideaway.
Matt Smith
- Lonely Assassins (Part 2)
Of course, a stone can't kill you either, but then you turn your head away. And you blink. And oh yes, it can. The angels are coming for you, but listen, your life could depend on this. Don't blink, don't even blink. Blink and you're dead. They are fast, faster than you could believe. Don't turn your back, don't look away, and don't blink. Good luck.
Matt Smith
- Lonely Assassins (Part 1)
Lonely Assassins they used to be called. No one quite knows where they came from, but they're as old as the universe or very nearly, and they have survived this long because they have the most perfect defense system ever evolved. They are quantum locked. They don't exist when they're being observed. The moment they are seen by any other living creature they freeze into rock. In a sight of any living thing they literally turn to stone. And you can't kill a stone.

Because every time you see them happy you remember how sad they're going to be. And it breaks your heart. Because what's the point in them being happy if they're going to be sad later? The answer is, of course, because they are going to be sad later.
Ameilia Williams
- Afterword
Hello, old friend. There's a little girl waiting in a garden. She's going to wait a long while, so she's going to need a lot of hope. Go to her. Tell her a story. Tell her that if she's patient, the days are coming that she'll never forget. Tell her she'll go to sea and fight pirates. Tell her she'll give hope to the greatest painter who ever lived and save a whale in outer space. Tell her, this is the story of Amelia Pond. And this, is how it ends.
