- Success vs Failure: Human Norms
Success and failure are mere perceptions of the mass majority. If everyone conforms and says that A is successful and B is a failure, this is an accepted norm to humans. However, to a more perceptive person, the failure may actually be the success.

- Mitsuba's monologue part 1 [Chapter 48 - Jibaku Shounen Hanako Kun]
What's with you? Didn't you say you wanted to be friends? It was really fun, you know! Taking classes together, cleaning the pool with everyone... Why!? Minamoto, you also... wanted to bring back that friend "Mitsuba," who you failed to help before. Didn't you wish "Mitsuba" could come back to life!? Ah, right. You're... that I'm a fake?
Kodak Black
- Love and War
Would you keep it a secret? I ain't felt this way before. Wanna tell you that I like you but I don't cause I'm not sure. I just took her heart and scored, then I love her till she sore. I just break her heart in fours then I don't want her anymore.
Taylor Swift
- All Too Well 10 Minute Version
The idea you had of me, who was she? A never-needy ever lovely jewel whose shine reflects on you? Not weeping in a party bathroom. Some actress asking me, "what happened?" - You. That's what happened, you.
Karl Marx
- Letter from Marx to Sorge (1882)
Theoretically the man is utterly backward! He understands nothing about the nature of surplus value and so wanders about in speculations which follow the English model but have now been superseded even among the English, about the different portions of surplus value to which independent existence is attributed - about the relations of profit, rent, interest, etc. His fundamental dogma is that everything would be all right if ground rent were paid to the state.
Mark Dunn
- Ella Minnow Pea
Perhaps in time, Ella, the words we have lost will fade, and we will all stop summoning them by habit, only to stamp them out like unwanted toadstools when they appear. Perhaps they will eventually disappear altogether, and the accompanying halts and stammers as well: those troublesome, maddening pauses that at present invade and punctuate through caesura all manner of discourse. Trying so desperately we all are, to be ever so careful.
Lestat De Lioncourt - Queen Of The Damned
- Eternity
There comes a time for every vampire when the idea of eternity becomes momentarily unbearable. Living in the shadows, feeding in the darkness with only your own company to keep, rots into a solitary, hollow existence. Immortality seems like a good idea, until you realize you're going to spend it alone.
Rocky Horror Picture Show
- Spark of Life
It took a small accident to make it happen. AN ACCIDENT! And that is how I discovered the secret. That elusive ingredient, that... spark that is the breath of life... yes I have that knowledge! I hold the key to life... ITSELF!
Primus
- South Park Theme
I'm going down to South Park, gonna have myself a time. Friendly faces everywhere, humble folks without temptation. Going down to South Park, gonna leave my woes behind. Ample parking day or night, people spouting: "Howdy, neighbor!" Heading on up to South Park gonna see if I can't unwind.
Someone on Tiktok
- Undoable Knowledge
Your tongue knows the taste and texture of an object despite never having made contact with it. Have you ever had sandpaper in your mouth? Probably not, but you know exactly what that would feel like. I can't look at anything anymore without my tongue knowing exactly how it would feel.

My least favorite thing about receiving advice is that you don't know what any of it means until you have an experience related to it. You won't know that staying positive is actually beneficial until you reach a situation where it has worked.
LionHeart
- Bold
Only sheep follow the crowds. Only sheep give into fear and tyranny unwilling to stand up. Lions on the other hand stand up for their rights and the rights of others. They are bold and willing to stand alone. Are you a lion or a sheep?

Having privilege does not mean you had it easy in life. You can still have privilege even if your life resembled that of a crime documentary. Having privilege means that who you are and how you look had no weighing factor on the struggles that you've met.

- Galaxy
I want to go up into the mountains and spend days gazing up at the stars with the strong breeze pushing against me. To be alone with just my family without the business of this life or the smog of LA.
~Unknown~
- Thrive
I love short words that are easy to type because they allow me to hit the space bar a lot. The space bar is the best because it is big and your thumb rests on it the entire time even while all your other fingers are racing around the keys.
Hanson O'Haver
- The Great Irony-Level Collapse
There was a time when I felt I could know what kind of music or pants a person liked and be able to fill in the rest of their interests with reasonable accuracy; at this point, there doesn't seem to be any connection at all. In the era of espresso martinis, my whole irony zone system has become a sticky, unnavigable mess.
President Snow (The Hunger Games)
- War Terrible War
War, terrible war. Widows, orphans, a motherless child. This was the uprising that rocked our land. Thirteen districts rebelled against the country that fed them, loved them, protected them. Brother turned on brother until nothing remained. And then came the peace, hard fought, sorely won. A people rose up from the ashes and a new era was born. But freedom has a cost. When the traitors were defeated, we swore as a nation we would never know this treason again.
Brick + Mortar
- Locked in a Cage
Leaves turn blue and the sky green. A little drop of dreams can go so far. I know you've got the anger of a burning sun, say hold up just a minute, don't burn me down. If you burn me down you'll never find your way. If you burn me down, it's true, a little drop of dreams.
Susan
I shouldn't be responsible for my life. It wasn't my idea in the first place, and I've made it quite clear from the beginning that I would like to quit. Y'all are the ones who seem to have a problem with that, so it's on you.
Magdalena Bay
- Halfway
No matter where you start or where you end, you are in between the where and when. You are in the middle of the loop. Do you feel half empty or half full? Is everything beautiful or dull? Flip a circle and the middle stays the same. Halfway, we're halfway home. Slow down, the day's 'bouta be gone. The sun goes, he sleeps until dawn. Slow down, the day is gone.
