C.S Lewis
Just as physical objects are governed by the law of gravity, so man's behavior is governed by the law of morality. The key difference is that man has a choice to either obey or disobey the moral law.
Benjamin Franklin
Educate your children to self-control, to the habit of holding passion and prejudice and evil tendencies subject to an upright and reasoning will, and you will have done much to abolish misery from their future and crimes from society.
Abraham Lincoln
I am rather inclined to silence, and whether that be wise or not, it is at least more unusual nowadays to find a man who can hold his tongue than to find one who cannot.

- A Rogue of One's Own
It's quite the same. Idealism, cynicism. Two sides of the same coin. A yearning to control our fickle destinies. The cynic is but an idealist who preempts the shock of disappointment by deriding everything himself. Both have expectations that are rather too lofty.
Rosie Danan
- The Intimacy Experiment
There's a moment, when you're speaking to someone, and you're listening to something they said, or actually, maybe not, maybe you're just giving them your attention, holding a door open at the deli, and something shifts behind their eyes and you know that they feel seen. Not just seen but acknowledged in some way. They know they matter. That they're not alone. And when that happens, I think about all the times someone has done that for me.

My toilet seat slammed even though I wasn't close to it. I've hired multiple paranormal investigators to check but they all told me that toilets don't exist. Needless to say, I poop outside now.

They say that life is a subscription, and childhood is the free trial. That may be so. But if it is so, they should really make it easier to cancel after the trial period ends.

- Fade to Black
Life it seems to fade away. Drifting further, every day. Getting lost within myself. Nothing matters, no one else. I have lost the will to live. Simply nothing more to give. There is nothing more for me. Need the end to set me free.

There's a con like me in every prison in America, I guess. I'm the guy who can get it for you. Cigarettes, a bag of reefer if you're partial, bottle of brandy to celebrate your kid's high school graduation. Damn near anything, within reason. Yes, sir, I'm a regular Sears and Roebuck.

You don't belong here. Either of you, so I'm sending you home. Those other guys are from your worlds, right? So you deal with it. If they die, if you kill them, that's on you. It's not my problem. I don't care anymore. I'm done. I'm really sorry that I dragged you into this. But you have to go home now. Good luck.

I lost Gwen. She was my MJ. I couldn't save her. I'm never going to be able to forgive myself for that. But I carried on. Tried to keep going. Tried to keep being the friendly neighborhood Spider-Man, because I know that's what she would've wanted. But at some point, I just, I stopped pulling my punches. I got rageful. I got bitter. I just don't want you, to end up like me.

It was a good storm. There was quite effective projection and passion there, and critics agreed that if it would only learn to control its thunder it would be, in years to come, a storm to watch.
Terry Pratchett
- Wyrd Sisters
The storm was really giving it everything it had. This was its big chance. It had spent years hanging around the provinces, putting in some useful work as a squall, building up experience, making contacts, occasionally leaping out on unsuspecting shepherds or blasting quite small oak trees. Now an opening in the weather had given it an opportunity to strut its hour, and it was building up its role in the hope of being spotted by one of the big climates.

Harvey, nobody knows what I see. Nobody knows I'm waiting, waiting for you to call. Harvey, nobody knows what I see, everyone thinks I'm crazy, crazy for you, oh boy.
Angela Davis
- Are Prisons Obsolete
Prison abolitionists are dismissed as utopians and idealists whose ideas are at best unrealistic and impracticable, and, at worst, mystifying and foolish. This is a measure of how difficult it is to envision a social order that does not rely on the threat of sequestering people in dreadful places designed to separate them from their communities and families.

- Argument of religion
One of the argument supporting religion is that it provides moral compass to people and without it, people would not be able to differentiate right from wrong. Which is absurd, because it implies that without religion, people would just aimlessly running around shooting people at random, looking for blood. Except that mass shooting has happened, and we also happened to live in a world which religion exists too.

- A Letter of Gratitude
Dear you, I just wanted to tell you how grateful I am. In the moments that the blaze in me started to fade away, you continued to hold on for me. You were hurting, but you still tried to keep me going. You always try your best to protect me. In the darkest of times, you still believed in me. I'm sorry I can't do anything to ease your pain and hardships. But I just want to tell you that for as long as your heart is beating, I will always be here fighting with you through everything. Thank you.
