- Not what I should be doing
I am at work, I am supposed to be doing duties that have been assigned to me for the day. I somehow always end up on this page and could type my 8 hour day away. It appears to my coworkers that I am hard at work when all I am actually just trying to beat my WPM.

You're not going to drive home right now. You can sleep on it. If you still feel like going in the morning, I'll take you to the airport. Look, Bella, I know I'm not that much fun to be around, but I can change that. We can do more stuff together.
Rupi Kaur
- Way back to the womb - Rupi Kaur
I am having a difficult time right now comparing myself to other people. I am stretching myself thin trying to be them, making fun of my face like my father, calling it ugly. Starving out this premature double chin before it melts into my shoulders like candle wax, fixing the bags under my eyes that carry the rape bookmarking surgical procedures for my nose. There is so much that needs tending to. Can you point me in the right direction? I need to take this body off, which way back to the womb?
Weston
Everyone thinks I love the sound of my own voice. That couldn't be less true. I hate the sound of my own voice. Unfortunately, I am an idiot, so I somehow think the way to escape it is to talk faster.
Good guy
- Sad typist
I will be very happy to find that a quote written by me comes back to me for me to type. I wonder when that will happen. I don't know what algorithm this website uses to cycle quotes. If there is an expiry date for quotes. There are millions of quotes on this website. If quotes cycle one after another, then I guess, I'll never be able to type my own quote. Sad.
Albert Hoffman
- Albert Hoffman on spiritual crisis
I share the belief of many of my contemporaries that the spiritual crisis pervading all spheres of Western industrial society can be remedied only by a change in our world view. We shall have to shift from the materialistic, dualistic belief that people and their environment are separate, toward a new consciousness of an all-encompassing reality, which embraces the experiencing ego, a reality in which people feel their oneness with animate nature and all of creation.
Terence McKenna
- Psychedelics legal status - Terence McKenna
Psychedelics are illegal not because a loving government is concerned that you may jump out of a third story window. Psychedelics are illegal because they dissolve opinion structures and culturally laid down models of behaviour and information processing. They open you up to the possibility that everything you know is wrong.
Neal Shusterman, Thunderhead
- Land of Nod
Let's all forsake, The Land of Wake, and break for the Land of Nod. Where we can try, to touch the sky, or dance beneath the sod. A toll for the living, a toll for the lost, a toll for the wise ones, who tally the cost. So let's escape, due south of Wake, and make for the Land of Nod.
Dubliner
- Rocky Road to Dublin (pt 1)
Well in the merry month of May from me home I started, left the girls of Tuam nearly broken hearted, saluted father dear, drank a pint of beer me grief and tears to smother. Then off to reap the corn, and leave where I was born, cut stout a black thorn to banish ghost and goblin. With a pair of brand new brogues, rattling o'er the bogs, frightening all the dogs, on the rocky Road to Dublin.
George Orwell
- 1984
The old civilizations claimed that they were founded on love or justice. Ours is founded upon hatred. In our world there will be no emotions except fear, rage, triumph, and self-abasement. Everything else we shall destroy - everything.
George Orwell
- 1984
Obedience is not enough. Unless he is suffering, how can you be sure that he is obeying your will and not his own? Power is in inflicting pain and humiliation. Power is in tearing human minds to pieces and putting them together again in new shapes of your own choosing.
Corrupted Kingdoms
- Read the heart
Read them like a book, then write in that book. Like shifting the flow of a stream slightly in one direction or another. Each shift infinitesimally small, but with enough of them you can completely change the course of an entire river. Read the heart and you can write its feelings.
Tumblr user aliaoftheknives
I must not cringe. Cringe is the mind-killer. Cringe is the little death that brings total obliteration. I will face my cringe. I will permit it to pass over me and through me. And when it has gone past I will turn the inner eye to see its path. When the cringe has gone there will be nothing. Only I will remain.
Sequoia Nagamatsu
- How High We Go In The Dark
After school she'd study the news, comb the internet for disasters, wars and hate and injustice, write it all down in these color-coded journals. Once, I asked her what she was doing, and she said she was just trying to keep track of it all because it didn't seem like anybody else noticed or cared that we kept making the same mistakes, that hate in a neighbourhood or injustice in a state ran like poison through veins, until another ice shelf collapsed or another animal went extinct.

The belief in the sanctity of life is, at its core, a religious belief. That's what makes it so surprising that so many atheists believe in it. Death is inevitable. There is no secular moral reason to stop someone from committing suicide.
The Beatles
- I’m Fixing A Hole
I'm fixing a hole where the rain gets in and stops my mind from wandering where it will go. I'm filling the cracks that ran through the door and kept my mind from wandering where it will go. And it really doesn't matter if I'm wrong, I'm right. Where I belong, I'm right, where I belong. See the people standing there who disagree and never win and wonder why they don't get in my door! I'm painting the room in a colorful way and when my mind is wandering, there I will go.
Rex Orange County
- One in a Million
I'm alone with you, waking up and hanging out at home with you. You don't ever do no wrong to me. I wish that I could just say the same. But it's okay, I'm trying to do. Whatever it takes to believe, that I'm enough and hope you agree. I've fallen for you, I'm dazed and confused, it's crazy what you mean to me. My heart keeps driving me crazy. There's nothing much I can do, I'm aware, there's no one quite like you. You're one of one. One in a million.

- Amazing
Who's gonna save me now? I hope it's you, my babe. Don't change a thing, you are amazing. I can't believe you've come and saved me. You can stay here, spend every day here. I don't mind, no.
Joji (George Miller)
- Glimpse of us
'Cause sometimes I look in her eyes, and that's where I find a glimpse of us. And I try to fall for her touch, but I'm thinking of the way it was. Said I'm fine, and said I'd moved on, I'm only here passing time in her arms. Hoping I'll find a glimpse of us.
