Carmen Maria Machado
Next week, I will be thirty. The sand is blowing into my mouth, my hair, the center crevice of my notebook, and the sea is choppy and gray. Beyond it, I can see the cottage, a speck on the far shore. I keep thinking I can see the virus blooming on the horizon like a sunrise. I realize the world will continue to turn, even with no people on it. Maybe it will go a little faster.
Alfred Lord Tennyson
- In Memoriam, Section 123
There rolls the deep where grew the tree. O earth, what changes hast thou seen! There where the long street roars, hath been the stillness of the central sea. The hills are shadows, and they flow from form to form, and nothings stands; they melt like mist, the solid lands, like clouds they shape themselves and go.
Michael Huemer
- Existence Is Evidence of Immortality
Time may be infinite in both directions. If it is, then, if persons could live at most once in all of time, the probability that you would be alive now would be zero. Since you are alive now, with certainty, either the past is finite, or persons can live more than once.
Octaves
- "Tax Break"
What would once land any dance within an instant in detention is now deplorably defended if the child's showing signs of a disorder - a deficiency in attention. Your attention, please! I'd like to point out nearly pornographic imagery plastered on the walls in your town's local department store, just two aisles from the kitchenry. Red flags are flying all around the castle - either the guards are colorblind, or their troubles are far too large to tackle.

- Gargantuan Bag
She's brought a ludicrously capacious bag. What's even in there? Flat shoes for the subway? Her lunch pail? I mean Greg it's monstrous, it's gargantuan. You could take it camping. You could slide it across the floor after a bank job.

- Practice
I hate making an error when typing because I am such a perfectionist. I never want to make mistakes. I don't like losing momentum when I'm typing. But one small mistake gets to me more than I'd like to admit. However, I know it is necessary to make mistakes so that we can learn from them. Some mistakes I make are still silly. But I do feel like I am learning from my mistakes the more I type. I hope the rare occasions I get perfect accuracy become more frequent and less rare with more practice.
Little Mix
- Secret Love Song
Why can't you hold me in the street? Why can't I kiss you on the dance floor? I wish that it could be like that. Why can't it be like that? 'Cause I'm yours. Why can't I say that I'm in love? Why can't I shout it from the rooftops?
Serita McKenzie
- Erupt
Control is something I no longer have; I am all blaze, and my heart is the source of this heat, charred on the surface but churning beneath with molten lava, pumping ashes through my veins. My chest explodes into flames just beneath the skin, and the fire climbs down to my gut, cooling into a glassy block of obsidian. I can't control the course of the heat nor the weight of this stone, the numbness I feel as it sits compared to this churning fire. A glass of cold water helps the burning subside.
Susanna Clarke
- The Biscuit-Box Man - Piranesi
When I first discovered the Biscuit-Box Man, the seaweed twine had dried up and fallen apart and he had become rather untidy. I made new twine from fish leather and tied up his bundles of bones again. Now he is in good order once more.
Emerson
- Emerson and Wilde on consistency 1/2
A foolish consistency is the hobgoblin of little minds, adored by little statesmen and philosophers and divines. With consistency a great soul has simply nothing to do. He may as well concern himself with his shadow on the wall. Speak what you think now in hard words, and to-morrow speak what to-morrow thinks in hard words again, though it contradict every thing you said to-day. 'Ah, so you shall be sure to be misunderstood.' Is it so bad, then, to be misunderstood?

- Dear quote hater,
If you do not like these quotes, might I suggest focusing on the letters themselves? Each and every letter of each and every word matters. Also, the commas, the periods and the exclamation points. No read only type.
Carolyn Harmon
- Monday Morning
You wanna know what living life to the fullest actually is? It's waking up on a Monday morning with no complaints. It's knowing you always deserve to laugh. It's doing what feels right no matter what. It's doing what you want to, no matter how stupid you look. It's about being yourself, "cause no one can tell you you're doing it wrong."

- Labour - Paris Paloma
All day, every day: Therapist, mother, maid, nymph, then a virgin nurse, and a servant. Just an appendage, live to attend him, so that he never lifts a finger. Twenty-four-seven baby machine so he can live out his picket fence dreams. It's not an act of love if you make her, you make me do too much labour.
Joe Mama
- Not a Good Sign
Every once in a while when I try logging in to type, I screw up entering my password. In fact, I screw it up several times. When I finally get it right, I just sit there staring at my screen, trying to psych myself up to the task ahead. It never happens though. Inevitably, I close the browser without typing a single quote, and crawl shamefully into a corner.

- Types, Operators and Expressions
Variables and constants are the basic data objects manipulated in a program. Declarations list the variables to be used, and state what type they have and perhaps what their initial values are. Operators specify what is to be done to them. Expressions combine variables and constants to produce new values.

- Short Quotes
You know, if those who claim to want to give you a short quote stopped patting themselves on the back, they could make even shorter quotes. Just type and enjoy the quotes you do, stop flooding the quote pool complaining.

- The two most common lies
The two most common lies in our world are 'I'm fine' and 'You'll be okay'. They are said without harmful intent, and often said in an attempt to placate worries, but still they tell us it is not our place to make another person uncomfortable or to draw too much attention to ourselves. Over and over, we mindlessly repeat variations of the same two phrases as we hide within our lies and attempt to spare others from the miserable truth. I'm fine. I'm okay. You're fine. You'll be okay. Everything wi.
Ellen Glasgow
Small, plain, vivacious, with hair of ashen gold, thin intelligent features, and a smile of mocking brilliance, Dorothy was the kind of woman whom men admire without loving and women love without admiring. As a girl she had been a social success without possessing a single one of the qualities upon which social success is supposed to depend.
MEEEE
Why do teachers never take the time to think about what the student might be going through? Hm? It is simply because they do not care for students. Every teacher claim that they care for their student, but they don't. Schools force you to live up to their expectations with no respect expected for you from them. So next time a person from another country ask "What is the usa school system" then you can tell them what actually happens.
