- Quotes
I keep seeing these kpop quotes from so many different groups like BTS, Seventeen, Day6, NCT, etc. I love it, I really do... but I want to add one for EXO too! The problem is that every time I decide that I will, I blank out on a quote from any of the members and I struggle to find good ones online. Truly a dilemma.

I find that websites like this are a lot better at increasing my speed and accuracy than other sites. Websites like 10fastfingers with their random words don't make sense to me. Yes, it's checking my ability to type different words but I hardly type an assortment of random words in my day to day life. Thus, tests using full sentences best check my ability to type and it's practice allows better muscle memory that comes in handy.
Linkin Park
- Leave Out All The Rest
When my time comes, forget the wrong that I've done. Help me leave behind some reasons to be missed. And don't resent me; when you're feeling empty, keep me in your memory - leave out all the rest.
Linkin Park
- Hands Held High
My brother had a book with a broken spine; on the back, he had a little quote inside: "when the rich wage war, it's the poor who die." And meanwhile their leader just talks away, stuttering and mumbling for the nightly news to replay. And the rest of the world's watching at the end of the day, both scared and angry. What did he say?

- Harry Potter- Hermione's Time Turner
It's called a Time-Turner," Hermione whispered, "and I got it from Professor McGonagall on our first day back. I've been using it all year to get to all my lessons. Professor McGonagall made me swear I wouldn't tell anyone. She had to write all sorts of letters to the Ministry of Magic so I could have one. She had to tell them that I was a model student and that I'd never, ever use it for anything except my studies.

- Marriage
Well. I'm not a poet, I'm just a woman. And as a woman I have no way to make money, not enough to earn a living and support my family. Even if I had my own money, which I don't, it would belong to my husband the minute we were married... So don't sit there and tell me that marriage isn't an economic proposition, because it is. It may not be for you but it most certainly is for me.

- The Subtle Art of Not Giving a F*ck
If you think about a young child trying to learn to walk, that child will fall down and hurt itself hundreds of times. But at no point does that child ever stop and think, "Oh, I guess walking just isn't for me. I'm not good at it".

- Lake
I want to be a lake; still and quiet. I want to fill every crack of a valley on this Earth, settle in and just be still. In the winter I'd like to freeze over and be more still than before. This world forces me to walk down a street that is like a river, rushing and unforgiving. I get caught in the current and beat against the rocks. Even more I cannot freeze - only move.

- Emotions (pt 2)
-is be happy. As you grow up it does not get easier. (If you are typing this and want to get an understanding, read part 1 first.) Every once in a while I just feel empty. Someone told me that God can solve that problem, but what does that mean? Religion confuses me. I'm getting off-topic, One can obtain happiness, but maintaining happiness takes crossing the continent to do. Thank you for typing this and not skipping my vent, I appreciate it. I'm sorry it makes you uncomfortable in any way <3.

- Emotions (pt.1)
I have so many pent-up emotions it is starting to affect my life. I am what I like to describe myself as is an emotional trainwreck. I base actions and decisions on impulse and emotions sometimes and every day I regret them. So to get rid of my built-up emotions, I read, watch, think of something sad in an attempt to cry myself to make myself better. But, I still am not satisfied, I never am, but I feel like there is more I can cry out. But it's too late, crying time is over. All I want to do-.

- Shallan on Stupidity
Oh, but I'm a scholar. I enjoy things with curious properties, and stupidity is most interesting. The more you study it, the further it flees - and yet the more of it you obtain, the less you understand about it!
Say Anything
- Lloyd Mulls His Career Options
I've thought about this quite a bit sir, and I would have to say, considering what's waiting out there for me, I don't want to sell anything, buy anything, or process anything as a career, and I don't want to sell anything bought or processed, buy anything sold or processed, or process anything sold bought or processed or repair anything sold bought or processed, you know, as a career, I don't want to do that, so my father's in the army, and he wants me to join.

- Bojack Horseman - When Your Dad Dies
My dad died about ten years ago of injuries he sustained during a duel. When your father dies, you ask yourself a lot of questions. Questions like "Wait, did you say he died from a duel?" and "Who dies in a duel?" The whole thing was so stupid.

- Is School Really Necessary? [3]
It has been believed traditionally that the only way to properly educate our children is through the standard classroom method. This includes having a teacher speak in front of a group of students, covering a wide variety of the most fundamental topics such as Math, Science, and English. It also means attending school five days a week for most of the day, similar to a full-time job, with assignments and homework to complete outside of these designated school hours as well.

- Is School Really Necessary? [2]
At the same time, however, many young students feel as though they take classes that they are uninterested in, and have no benefit for them in the long run, as everyone has different goals, passions, and career paths. People are starting to focus more on wanting to learn more concrete life skills, which for the most part, are not believed to be taught in the classroom.
University of the People
- Is School Really Necessary?
There has been an ongoing debate as to why school is a waste of time, and how much we actually really need formal schooling for so many years of our life. Many people still strongly believe in the traditional view, that school is a vital part of becoming successful in the future and learning basic skills.

Homosexuality was in the DSM up until the 1970s, because people were disgusted by it, and therefore if it disgusted people then it was crazy. They never had any empirical evidence as to why it should be included in the first place; nor did they discover any new evidence as to why the status of homosexuality should be changed from pathological to being within the spectrum of normal. And it's the same with people not liking life.

- Moiraine
When the Dark One's armies swooped down upon the lands of Manetheren, the men of the Mountain Home stood before it, with their backs to the Tarendrelle. The host that faced the men of Manetheren was enough to daunt the bravest heart. Ravens blackened the sky; Trollocs blackened the land... At night their cookfires outnumbered the stars and dawn revealed the banner of Ba'alzamon at their heads... Hold for three days against odds that should overwhelm them in the first hour. Yet somehow, through.

No need for shame, sheepherder. They scare me too. I've seen men who have been soldiers all their lives freeze like a bird facing a snake when they confronted a Halfman. In the north, in the Borderlands along the Great Blight, there is a saying. The look of the Eyeless is fear.

- The Westwood
They called them savages. The fools said they could be swept aside like rubbish. How many battles lost, how many cities burnt, before they faced the truth? Before the nations stood together against them. The field at Marath carpeted with the dead, and no sound but the cries of ravens and the buzzing of flies. The topless towers of Cairhien burning in the night like torches. All the way to the shining walls they burned and slew before they were turned back.
