- Be Yourself
Many college students have gone to college and gotten hooked on drugs, marijuana, and alcohol. Listen, stop trying to be like someone else, don't try to be like someone else. Be yourself and know that that's good enough. Be secure with yourself. Rely and trust upon your own decisions, on your own beliefs.

Cassia is a type of cinnamon, but it is not the same as Ceylon cinnamon (also known as true cinnamon). Ceylon cinnamon has a softer and more complex flavor profile. A cinnamon bun made of cassia is called a synonym bun.
Orson Scott Card
- In the Ribs
Ender knew the unspoken rules of manly warfare, even though he was only six. It was forbidden to strike the opponent who lay helpless on the ground; only an animal would do that. So Ender walked to Stilson's supine body and kicked him again, viciously, in the ribs.

- Worth More than the Spring
My girl, my brave girl had done this. She had gone and come back bloody and she had brought us back the spring. And she had come back, she had come back, which was worth all the spring and more for me.

- It bothered them, but not him
There was a moment's silence. Sammy waited. The men would be looking uncomfortably at one another, he guessed. People were always embarrassed when a blind person addressed them. Never bothered him, but it bothered them.

I spilled hot tea all over myself and my laptop. My favourite thing to do is to type and NOW MY KEYBOARD IS STICKY. This has officially pushed me to the edge. It's new too and now I have to CHANGE SHIRTS. I can still remember before making that tea, way back when my keyboard wasn't sticky as all hell. I think I would just rather my laptop break fully than this. This is what the devil tortures people with in purgatory. (I didn't spell favourite wrong, I'm Australian).
Albert Einstein
- Personal God
I do not believe in a personal God and I have never denied this but have expressed it clearly. If something is in me which can be called religious then it is the unbounded admiration for the structure of the world so far as our science can reveal it.

- Rectangles
I don't even think an elongated square is an actual shape, I think you just call it a rectangle at that point. It's literally not a square; squares have to have the same length sides. It's literally not a square by the definition of a square! How does that make any sense!?

- Friendships
You know, someone once told me something: friendship is like a rope. When a rope breaks, you can't put it back the same, and it gets a little shorter each time. But each time, the ends get closer together.
Michael McDonald
- What a Food Believes
He came from somewhere back in her long-ago. The sentimental food don't see. He's trying hard to recreate what had yet to be created once in her life. She musters a smile for his nostalgic tale. Never coming near to what he wanted to say, only to realize, it never really was. She had a place in his life. He never made her think twice. As she rises to her apology, anybody else would surely know he's watching her go. But what a fool believes, he sees.

- Confused
I am confused by these entries I have read from people complaining about coming here to type, not to read quotes or, as one person put it, to have an existential crisis. Aside from the fact that I find it rewarding to improve my typing while reading famous quotes, parts of novels, movie and television quotes, song lyrics, philosophical musings, and even stories and observations from "ordinary people," many I have never read before, what it is it exactly that these people want to type instead?

- Favorite/ Least favorite
I have only recently learned to type without looking at the keyboard and I am currently averaging about 55 wpm. I have discovered that I actually have a favorite word to type, one that comes up frequently enough anyway. It's "people." There is something oddly satisfying about that one. People. People. People. Least favorite: "Beautiful," though I am getting better at doing that one quickly. Thanks for reading, all you beautiful people.

Bender, being God isn't easy. If you do too much, people get dependent on you. And if you do nothing, they lose hope. You have to use a light touch like a safecracker or a pickpocket.

Oh, for shame! Just look at your fingernails! My, I bet you monsters lead interesting lives. I said to my girlfriend just the other day - Gee, I'll bet monsters are interesting, I said. The places you must go and the places you must see, my stars! And I'll bet you meet a lot of interesting people, too. I'm always interested in meeting interesting people. Now let's dip our patties in the water!

Where do they teach you to talk like that, in some Panama City, sailor "wanna hump-hump" bar? Or is it getaway day and your last shot at his whiskey? Sell crazy someplace else. We're all stocked up here...

- Dreams
We are all told that our dreams have meaning at some point in our lives. Our nightmares represent our subconscious fears, the faces we see are symbolic of an underlying pressure in our lives, etc. But should we always try to understand the complexity of our dreams and seek their deeper meanings? Maybe we need to realize that some dreams are just simply dreams, not pieces to be analyzed in our waking lives. Maybe sometimes, we should just let them be.

I have one question, then you can continue on your way: Do people who write quotes on this site choose to omit the Oxford comma just to spite me? Or do they just not know it exists?
Richard Nixon - Futurama - S2E3 A Head in the Polls
Well, listen here, missy. Computers may be twice as fast as they were in 1973 but your average voter is as drunk and stupid as ever. The only one who's changed is me. I've become bitter and, let's face it, crazy over the years. And once I'm swept into office, I'll sell our children's organs to zoos for meat and I'll go into people's houses at night and wreck up the place.
Linn Manuel Miranda
You will come of age with our young nation. We'll bleed and fight for you, we'll make it right for you. If we lay a strong enough foundation, we'll pass it on to you, we'll give the world to you and you'll blow us all away. Someday, someday, yeah you'll blow us all away.
