- sitting in class
As I sit here in a classroom filled with people I feel the loneliness start to ignite. It gets harder and harder to not want to cry or just sleep or leave this place. As I sit here in a classroom I do not want to sit here any longer. I want to be sitting in the sun on a beach. I want to be sitting on a rollercoaster. But I do not want to be sitting here.
36 Questions
- Our Daughter Judith
Our daughter, Judith? No, she moved to Austin. She's very happy there, or so we hear. She's always been so goddamn independent. The years go by and now we barely see her.
Mia Vincy
- One more story (from A Beastly Kind of Earl)
No one would care about one more story from one more woman, one more lost wanderer, trying to be heard. A lone woman, saying, "but listen, please listen, this matters, this is my life."
Mia Vincy
- The past (from A Beastly Kind of Earl)
I always thought one could not rewrite the past, but it seems the past is not set in stone. We learn new things about our history, and view it from a fresh perspective, and when we see things we hadn't known were there, everything changes.
Mia Vincy
- Your eyes(from A Beastly Kind of Earl)
"Your eyes." She smiled, playful and warm. "Has no one ever told you? That in the sunlight, your eyes are the color of brandy." He was as silly as a girl at her first ball, to let such flattery affect him. Yet his chest swelled with undeserved pride, as though the color of his eyes was the greatest achievement of his life.
Josh Green
- Quote war
I'm on the side of people who believe that the quotes about philosophy and life are fantastic and add to the site. You all that think this should be one of those sites where you just type a series of random words are very sad and boring. Support good quotes with a green smile!
Frank Herbert
All governments suffer a recurring problem: Power attracts pathological personalities. It is not that power corrupts but that it is magnetic to the corruptible. Such people have a tendency to become drunk on violence, a condition to which they are quickly addicted.
Frank Herbert
Most lives are a flight from selfhood. Most prefer the truths of the stable. You stick your head into the stanchions and munch contentedly until you die. Others use you for their purposes. Not once do you look outside the stable to lift your head and be your own creature.
Thomas Sowell
- Minimum Wage
Unfortunately, the real minimum wage is always zero, regardless of the laws, and that is the wage that many workers receive in the wake of the creation or escalation of a government-mandated minimum wage, because they lose their jobs or fail to find jobs when they enter the labor force. Making it illegal to pay less than a given amount does not make a worker's productivity worth that amount-and, if it is not, that worker is unlikely to be employed.
Thomas Sowell
- Socialism
Socialism is a wonderful idea. It is only as a reality that it has been disastrous. Among people of every race, color, and creed, all around the world, socialism has led to hunger in countries that used to have surplus food to export... Nevertheless, for many of those who deal primarily in ideas, socialism remains an attractive idea - in fact, seductive. Its every failure is explained away as due to the inadequacies of particular leaders.
Eminem
- Rap God
Uh, summa-lumma, dooma-lumma, you assumin' I'm a human What I gotta do to get it through to you I'm superhuman? Innovative and I'm made of rubber so that anything You say is ricochetin' off of me, and it'll glue to you and I'm devastating, more than ever demonstrating How to give a motherfuckin' audience a feeling like it's levitating Never fading, and I know the haters are forever waiting For the day that they can say I fell off, they'll be celebrating.

- On Attraction
If you served me an incredibly realistic delicious-looking Christmas dinner that turned out to be plastic, I would initially want to tuck in. But as soon as I found out that it was fake, and not actually even food at all, I would toss it in the trash.
Something I saw
- Comments
I was going through some quotes out of boredom and saw a number of them have rude comments under them. This website has a comments function but I don't think it has a reply to comments function. I guess that explains why some of you guys go out of your way to write unnecessarily rude comments. Go outside once in a while, touch some grass.
Jeronimo Lesmes
- Starting to Stop
Sad because you can't stop and sad because you won't start. You know that you should start to stop but contemplating the fact ends your opportunity. Now starting to stop is no longer an option and the cycle starts again. When will it end? Will it start again?
Creature
- GO WILD
After all, we all have one life right? So do what you gotta do! If it involves breaking your bone on a trampoline then so be it! Ask yourself a huge question. Are you gonna do it or not?
Less Than Jake
- All My Best Friends Are Metalheads
This is a fair request, and I promise I will not judge any person, only as a teenager. If you will constantly remind yourself that some of my generation, judges people by their race, their belief, or the color of their skin. And that this is no more right than saying that all teenagers are drunken dope addicts or glue sniffers.
Mark Twain
- Tom Sawyer
Tom gave up the brush with reluctance in his face, but alacrity in his heart. And while the late steamer Big Missouri worked and sweated in the sun, the retired artist sat on a barrel in the shade close by, dangled his legs, munched his apple, and planned the slaughter of more innocents.
English Standard Version Bible
- Proverbs 3:13-18
Blessed is the one who finds wisdom, and the one who gets understanding, for the gain from her is better than gain from silver and her profit better than gold. She is more precious than jewels, and nothing you desire can compare with her. Long life is in her right hand; in her left hand are riches and honor. Her ways are ways of pleasantness, and all her paths are peace. She is a tree of life to those who lay hold of her; those who hold her fast are called blessed.
Ahmed Ayad
- chose the one
Don't choose the one who replies when they are free or have time. Choose the one who replies as soon as they see your message. Choose the one who makes you a priority.
Ahmed Ayad
- Bob Merly
When Bob Marley said, if she is amazing she won't be easy.. If she easy she won't be amazing.. if she is worth it you won't give up.. if you give up you aren't worthy.. the truth is, everybody is going to hurt you.. you just got to find the one that are worth suffering for..
