- The Friend
Consider rereading, how risky it is, especially when the book is one that you loved. Always the chance that it won't hold up, that you might, for whatever reason, not love it as much. When this happens, and to me it happens all the time (and more and more as I get older), the effect is so disheartening that I now open old favorites warily.
Sarah Weeks
- So B. It
Another thing I found out right around that same time is that not knowing something doesn't mean you're stupid. All it means is that there's still room left to wonder.
Better Call Saul
- "Pimento" - Chuck McGill
I know you. I know what you were, what you are-people don't change, you're Slippin' Jimmy! And Slippin' Jimmy I can handle just fine but Slippin' Jimmy with a law degree is like a chimp with a machine gun! The law is sacred! If you abuse that power people get hurt! This is not a game! You have to know - on some level I know you know I'm right! You know I'm right!
Hire Me
- Drivel I Used to Pad My Resume
KFC Shift Supervisor: I ensure that hot, fresh product is always available through effective multitasking and constant monitoring of current cooked inventory. I utilize industry knowledge on food safety protocol to manage my team's handling of food and sanitization. I oversee team member development and training while empowering them to exceed company metrics on speed, accuracy, and customer satisfaction.
Mary Shelley, "Frankenstein"
Remember that I am thy creature; I ought to be thy Adam, but I am rather the fallen angel, whom thou drivest from joy for no misdeed. Everywhere I see bliss, from which I alone am irrevocably excluded. I was benevolent and good - misery made me a fiend. Make me happy, and I shall again be virtuous.

- Actions speak louder than words.
Actions speak louder than words, and this is especially true for the ultra-successful. These are people who prioritize action even when it's hard, uncomfortable, or risky. If you want to join them? It's time to stop saying things and start doing them. Forget the excuses. Forget your limits. Forget feeling ready. The life you lead depends on the choices you're willing to make. Are you going to show up for yourself this week?
Donald Trump
- He Likes Rockets
After achieving success as an internet entrepreneur, he could've spent his fortune doing anything including yachting. Lots of things. He could do lots of things. But in 2002, he began pouring tens of millions of dollars of his own money into research and development for a new rocket. He's a little bit different than a lot of other people. He likes rockets.

- The Moral Animal: Why We Are The Way We Are
In the new view, human beings are a species splendid in their array of moral equipment, tragic in their propensity to misuse it, and pathetic in their constitutional ignorance of the misuse.

- Pothos Care
Water your pothos every one to two weeks, allowing soil to dry out between waterings. Expect to water more often in brighter light and less often in lower light.

We trust you have received the usual lectures from the local System Administrator. It usually boils down to these three things: Respect the privacy of others. Think before you type. With great power comes great responsibility.
Don't Hug Me I'm Scared
- Duck Guy's Song
When you meet a business man, you must shake him by the hand. When you meet a family man, you must shake him by the hand. When you meet the choo choo man, you must shake him by the hand. When you meet the friendly fellow, you must shake him by the hand. When you meet the plug-in man, you must shake him by the hand. I'm trying to sleep!
Adventure Time
- The Lich
Fall. You are alone, child. There is only darkness for you, and only death for your people. These ancients are just the beginning. I will command a great and terrible army, and we will sail to a billion worlds. We will sail until every light has been extinguished. You are strong, child, but I am beyond strength. I am the end, and I have come for you, Finn.
Jeremiah S.
- Unconditional acts of kindness
It is the choice to stay silent when yelling back would feel so much better. Taking the garbage out so your sibling can get extra sleep. Giving a tip when no one is looking. It is those things that you do for others without begging for recognition that are truly for others.

- Be Consistent
May we please, as authors and quote submitters, add paraphrases or quotes that have relevance or consistency with their subject? Most of the quotes I've seen submitted are fantastic; however, there's the occasional straggler of the group that wanders off into tangent after tangent, only to finally resolve their submission in a different subject. I appreciate the thoughts, free-thinkers, but at the least, please be consistent.

My head.
- Scars
The cuts scab and close up too soon for my liking. They're itchy and get in my way frequently. I'm so tired. The quiet singing of a voice I don't recognize haunts me. If I attempted a shred harder, I could be calm and collected. Writing down what I think is honestly hard. Especially when I don't know what to do with my thoughts, they begin to pour out faster than I can type. I just need some rest. That's what they keep telling me. All I need is a good night's sleep. I hope I don't wake up.
My Mind.
- Day one. This.
I wouldn't say I like my body since I despise myself. The scrapes and blemishes are what keep me rational. While this is my most unhappy low, they shout at me and say it's because I haven't been taking my prescription, but it's not that. I've never been fond of it here. I've always hated it here; I despise them. Maybe, you'd realize that I'm in too much distress daily. But you think I can't possibly be because I'm a child. But that's what I'll always be, nothing but a child.
Caleb
- Beaten in lips
As if life isn't hard already, add it to the list of things to forget, with one chance to define ourselves, we're gonna keep on living, keep on living. This is for the kids with the beaten in lips (yeah) whose parents try to shut them up using their fists (yeah), keep living loud and proud, they never can hold you down.

Greta Garbo and Monroe, Dietrich and DiMaggio, Marlon Brando, Jimmy Dean. On the cover of a magazine. Grace Kelly, Harlow, Jean, picture of a beauty queen. Gene Kelly, Fred Astaire, Ginger Rogers, dance on air. They had style, they had grace, Rita Hayworth gave good face. Lauren, Katherine, Lana too, Bette Davis, we love you. Ladies with an attitude, fellas that were in the mood. Don't just stand there, let's get to it. Strike a pose, there's nothing to it. Vogue.

- My Geography Syllabus
In this course, you'll learn about these relations across the world. The course provides information about these connections, whether they're in the physical environment, cultural or economic sectors, or anywhere else. After all, that's the whole idea of the First Law of Geography: learning about these important connections - including their origins, their effects, and their long-term impacts.
