Madeline Miller
- The Song of Achilles
In the darkness, two shadows, reaching through the hopeless, heavy dusk. Their hands meet, and light spills in a flood like a hundred golden urns pouring out of the sun.
Cormac Mccarthy (RIP)
- Blood Meridian
The man who believes that the secrets of the world are forever hidden lives in mystery and fear. Superstition will drag him down. The rain will erode the deeds of his life. But that man who sets himself the task of singling out the thread of order from the tapestry will by the decision alone have taken charge of the world and it is only by such taking charge that he will effect a way to dictate the terms of his own fate.
Hozier
- All Things End
When people say that something is forever, either way, it ends. And all things end. All that we intend is scrawled in sand. Or slips right through our hands. And just knowing that everything will end should not change our plans when we begin again.

Hi, I'm Rashed I'm 15 years old, and I just want to tell myself by publishing this quote that I can go to any college if I study hard enough. Hopefully...
Terry Goodkind
- Good Person
Even a good person can be swept up with the sentiments of a crowd and come to hold perverse beliefs. You can destroy those who speak the truth, but you cannot destroy the truth itself.
Grandpa
- Princess Bride
That day, she was amazed to discover that when he was saying "As you wish," what he meant was, "I love you." And even more amazing was the day she realized she truly loved him back.
Scott Kelly
- Astronants
The word "astronaut" derives from the Greek words meaning "star" and "sailor." These men and women - Alan Shephard, John Glenn, Jr., Sally Ride, to name a few - conjure up images of bravery and adventure. They are modern heroes, helping humanity reach for the stars. When the space program began in 1959, there were only seven such people in the entire country. They all were then - or had been in the past - in the armed forces.
Tatsuki Fujimoto
- Chainsaw Man
World War II, Arnolone Syndrome, SOA, AIDS, Nuclear Weapons, the Mt. Hio eruption. All of these once existed and were feared just as much as devils with their names. But I'm the only one who remembers those names now... The sixth sense humans used to have. The light of a certain star that would break children's minds. Four possible fates besides death at the end of life. They've all ceased to exist, and I can't recall them yet even now I remember the sight of their devils fighting Chainsaw Man.

- John Proctor - Act Four of The Crucible
I can. And there's your first marvel, that I can. You have made your magic now, for now I do think I see some shred of goodness in John Proctor. Not enough to weave a banner with, but white enough to keep it from such dogs. Give them no tear! Tears pleasure them! Show honor now, show a stony heart and sink them with it!
Ed Winters
It is ironic that we believe that empathy and complex emotions only really exist in humans but we then fail to empathize with the animals who suffer at our hands.

- We're glad you're there
By considering average life expectancy and the typical number of jokes a person hears in a year: If you are under the age of 38, odds are the funniest joke you will ever hear is a joke you haven't even heard yet. And if you are over the age of 38, odds are you already know a joke that, to more people than you could possibly meet, might be the funniest joke they will ever hear. So wherever you are, we're glad you're there.
Ichibudo
- Feng Shui
The layout of my room is fairly straightforward, which is actually a bad thing. Since my room is small it limits my bed and table placement. You walk in and immediately see the bed facing the mirror of my closet, which is fixed, it is immovable. Next to my bed is my table. The head of my bed is directly to the window and beside my bed is another window. Now you're probably thinking, isn't it bad? Yes I searched online and I will probably have 10 years of bad luck now (that's a joke)
Dar Williams
- End of Summer
Summer ends and we wonder where you are, and there you go, my friends, with your boxes in your car. You both look so young, and last night was hard. You said you packed up every room and then you cried and went to bed. But today you closed the door and said you have to get a move on. It's just that time of year when we push ourselves ahead. We push ourselves ahead.
Madeline Miller
- As the poets say
Achilles' eyes were bright in the firelight, his face drawn sharply by the flickering shadows. I would know is in dark or disguise, told myself. I would know it even in madness.
Live (the band)
- Hold me Up
Hold me up, in the palm of your hand. Lying to you is a river of sin. Your metaphors, your silent calls, your feelings are too real. Let them spew, a fall from grace would do us good today. I'll lift you up, we can love or cry. Hey, I'm in love, I'll take you up again.
Philip Quast - Les Miserables
- Stars
Stars, in your multitudes. Scarce to be counted, filling the darkness with order and light. You are the sentinels, silent and sure. Keeping watch in the night. Keeping watch in the night. You know your place in the sky. You hold your course and your aim. And each in your season returns and returns, and is always the same. And if you fall as Lucifer fell, you fall in flames!
Thomas Gray
- Elegy Written in a Country Churchyard
The curfew tolls the knell of parting day, the lowing herd wind slowly o'er the lea, the plowman homeward plods his weary way, and leaves the world to darkness and to me.
The Beatles
- Strawberry Fields forever
Living is easy with eyes closed. Misunderstanding all you see. It's getting hard to be someone, but it all works out. It doesn't matter much to me. Let me take you down, 'cause I'm going to Strawberry Fields. Nothing is real. And nothing to get hung about. Strawberry Fields forever.

- Workspace Typing Hack
I do not use typing tests at any other time than when I am at work. They have the use of making me look busy at my retail jobs when there is a customer in store, one of my coworkers are handling them, and I need to look busy at my desk. The intense stare coming off of my face combined with the flurry of finger-ticking action will sell coworkers and customers alike that I am busy.
Tomorrow - BTS
There's a long way to go, but why am I standing in place? Although I scream out in frustration, all it is, is an echo in the void. Let tomorrow be different from today. That's all I'm begging for. Follow your dream, even if you break. Follow your dream even if it crumbles. Don't run backwards, never. Because the dawn just before sunrise is the darkest. Even in the far future, don't ever forget the you of right now. No matter where you're standing right now, don't give up.
