- Rhythm of Time (Pt 4)
It is found in every blade of hope. It knows no bounds nor space. It has risen in red, and black, and white, it is there in every race. It lies in the hearts of heroes dead, it screams in tyrants' eyes. It has reached the peaks of mountains high and come soaring 'cross the skies. It lights the dark of this prison cell. It thunders forth its might. It is the undauntable thought my friend... that thought that says I'm right.

- Alternative Hungry Hungary
For context, in the 1950's there was an anti-communist uprising in Hungary that was winning, but lost due to Soviet intervention. But what if the anti-communists won? This would have been possible if the Soviets did not intervene, but this would have been impossible for the Soviets not to intervene. Let's say that they just did not intervene. What would've happened? Well, Hungary would have been a huge threat to the communist Eastern bloc and would be a great strategic place for the west bloc.
We Lost The Sea
- Challenger, Pt. 2: A Swan Song
We've grown used to wonders in this century. It's hard to dazzle us. We've grown used to the idea of space, and perhaps we forget that we've only just begun. We're still pioneers. Sometimes painful things like this happen. It's all part of the process of exploration and discovery. It's all part of taking a chance and expanding man's horizons. The future doesn't belong to the fainthearted; it belongs to the brave.
Amir Dhirani
- Those Who Remain
Tough times create strong men. Strong men create easy times. Easy times create weak men. Weak men create tough times. Make sure your legacy is filled with warriors. Instill the ethics and the morals for what it is to be a Human first, and then a Man.
Hamilton Porter - The Sandlot
- Smores
First, you take the graham. You stick the chocolate on the graham. Then, you roast the mallow. When the mallow's flaming, you stick it on the chocolate and cover it with the other end. Then, you scarf.
I wrote this
- The king in yellow
The mountain towered ominously over the rest of the plains. Trees and tall grass hid the acts of nature, big and small. Above it all fell a layer of deep, grey mist. The clouds overhead loomed dark, opening one stream of light onto the mountain. The stream opened further into a river, a flood of yellow light. The animals scurried as the wind picked up, the light burning all that it touched. All who touched the king in yellow's light were to be damned eternally.
hmmmm...
Does anyone else do a quote and start doing good, and then proceed to do a quick glance to the words per minute? I get going on a roll and cannot curb my curiosity to check my speed. Sure enough, errors quickly follow. Maybe I should stop looking.
Charles Brettinger
The worse the opposing political party gets, the more your party's voters resemble those in a one-party system. Stop using the other side's evilness as an excuse for your own issues, even though they're puppy-killing garbage monsters.
Clark Elieson/Karamazov
- The desire not to exist
What ensues is a debate about the existence of god. Albeit an unconventional one. In our world, nobody escapes the daily torture of pains and disappointments. Even children have to suffer in horrific extremes. Thus, "God," the elder of the two brothers maintains, must be evil to have introduced us to such a world. Any promises of paradise after this life are just taunts. Life, is but a Cruel Angel's Thesis. "It's not that I don't accept god... I just most respectfully return him the ticket."
Benjamin Shapiro
For the life of me, I cannot understand why the Proud Boys chose that name. They are a neo-fascist group. Why did they take their name from a song from a Broadway musical? Especially one that sounds extra gay.

Dan Simmons
- Martin Silenus in The Fall of Hyperion
This pain has a structure. It has a floor plan. It has designs more intricate than a chambered nautilus, features more baroque than the most buttressed Gothic cathedral. Even as he screams, Silenus studies the structure of this pain. He realizes that it is a poem.
i'll never tell
- transit
Working in transit has taught me many things, but most importantly that there is an actual need for public transportation for some and for others just the idea that they have a bus route at their fingertips isn't enough for them to consider riding it. Riding the bus can really impact your budget if you are looking to save money but can also really impact the environment if 50 people would take the same vehicle rather than your own cars.

Caroline Forbes
How come the guys I want never want me? I'm inappropriate. I always say the wrong thing. And Elena always says the right thing. Ugh. She doesn't even try. And he just picks her. And she's always the one that everyone picks... for everything. And I try so hard and I'm never the one...
C.G. Jung
- A moment ago...
A moment ago, and we were completely absorbed in the hectic, ephemeral life of the present; then, the next moment, something very remote and strange flashes upon us, which directs our gaze to a different order of things. We turn away from the vast confusion of the present to glimpse the higher continuity of history. Suddenly we remember that on this spot where we now hasten to and fro about our business a similar scene of life and activity prevailed two thousand years ago...

- Learn to be Grateful
Always be grateful for the things that you have right now. The meaning of contentment and happiness is only revealed through gratitude. There is no point in comparing yourself or your family to others' wealth.
The Good Place
- Michael's Gambit - Eleanor Shellstrop - Season 1 Finale
Holy motherforking shirtballs. Yo, Mikey! Shawn! Come on out! So, Chidi and I are gonna go to the Bad Place. It took me a while to figure it out, but just now as we were all fighting and yelling at each other and each one of us demanding we should go to the Bad Place, I thought to myself, "Man, this is torture." And then it hit me. They're never gonna send a train to take us to the Bad Place. They can't because we're already here. This is the Bad Place.

- I JUST SUED THE SCHOOL SYSTEM !!!
Ladies and gentlemen of the jury if we continue down this road the results will be lethal. I don't have much faith in school, but I do have faith in people. And if we can customize health care, cars, and Facebook pages, then it is our duty to do the same for education, to upgrade, change, and way with school spirit 'cause that's useless unless we are working to bring the spirit out of each and every other student that should be our task.
Prince Ea
- I JUST SUED THE SCHOOL SYSTEM !!!
Ladies and gentlemen of the jury, today on trial we have modern day schooling. Glad you could come. Not only does he make fish climb trees, but also makes them climb down and make them do a 10 mile run. Tell me, school, are you proud of the things you've done? Turning millions of people into robots. Do you find that fun?
