- Matters of the Heart
He doesn't care. He never really has and never will. I can't help that I love him so much. All I wanna do is talk to him, but I'm too proud to give him that much power. One day, I'll let him go. But not today. Today I'll just remember all the laughs and good times he gave me and how he made me fall head over heels for him then left like it was nothing. And I'll wait for that day, however long it takes.

- Let's Not Work
Here's to everyone who's supposed to be working or learning right now, but is instead doing typing tests online. I'm with you. Work is boring. Typing is fun. Don't follow the herd. This is our time.
Sir Paul McCartney
- A love song to John. (Part 1)
Here today, a love song to John, written very shortly after he died. I was remembering things about our relationship, about the million things we've done together, from just being in each other's front parlours or bedrooms, to walking on the street together, or hitchhiking long journeys together, which had nothing to do with The Beatles. There's one line in the lyric I don't really mean "Well knowing you, you'd probably laugh and say that we were worlds apart."

- Alphabet
A B C D E F G H I J K L M N O P Q R S T U V W X Y Z and then Z Y X W V U T S R Q P O N M L K J I H G F E D C B A, I just wanted to see how fast I can type the alphabet, and I'm sure it's difficult.
Taylor Swift
- Mirrorballs.
We have mirrorballs in the middle of a dance floor because they reflect light, they are broken a million times and that's what makes them so shiny. We have people like that in society, they hang there and every time they break it entertains us. And when you shine a light on them it's this glittering, fantastic thing. But then a lot of the time when the spotlight isn't on them they're just still there up on a pedestal, but nobody's watching them.
Elvis Presley
- Birds That Don’t Have Legs.
Did you know there's a kind of bird that doesn't have any legs? So it can't land on nothing. It lives its whole life on the wing. When it gets tired it just spreads its wings and sleeps on the wind. If it ever does land, even but one time, so it dies.
Christopher Hitchens
- "That's Offensive"
If someone tells me that I've hurt their feelings, I say, 'I'm still waiting to hear what your point is.' In this country, I've been told, 'That's offensive' as if those two words constitute an argument or a comment. Not to me they don't. And I'm not running for anything, so I don't have to pretend to like people when I don't.
Ethan Hawke
- Rules for a Knight; Honesty
A dishonest tongue and a dishonest mind waste time, and therefore waste our lives. We are here to grow, and the truth is the water, the light, and the soil from which we rise. The armor of falsehood is subtly wrought out of the darkness and hides us not only from others but from our own soul.

- Expectations
Exceeding expectations isn't meeting expectations. Meeting expectations is good enough, by its own definition. If you're expected to exceed expectations, then those expectations were a lie, and I don't care to respect the wishes of a liar. So just meet the expectations, and know that that is enough, that is all that can be hoped for, and that is perfect.
Alice in Chains
- Nutshell
We chase misprinted lies. We face the path of time. And yet I fight, and yet I fight, this battle all alone. No one to cry to. No place to call home. My gift of self is raped. My privacy is raked. And yet I find, and yet I find, repeating in my head, "If I can't be my own, I'd feel better dead."
Fiona
- You Weren't Here
You don't get to abandon your kids and then show up one day to take your pick of the litter... This is about what you didn't do. It's about what I did... Debbie is class president. She's on the debate team. Going to Nationals. And Lip. He's top of his class. He set the curve. Ian was promoted in ROTC, and he tested out of English. And Carl made something blow up for his science fair. And you know what? They did it all, no thanks to you, because you weren't here.
Shakespeare
- Lady McBeth's Sleepwalking Speech
Wash your hands, put on your night gown, don't look so afraid. I've told you before - Banquo's buried, he cannot rise from his grave. To bed, to bed... There's knocking at the gate! Come, come, come... Come, give me your hand. What's dont cannot be undone. To bed, to bed, to bed...

- Small Life Guilt
Sometimes I feel a bit of guilt. Guilt for wanting something different. For being content in my little lot in life. With only one friend, one boyfriend, aiming for the most boring career possible: accounting. I feel like there's this societal pressure to be better than this. To be big. A dreamer. Surrounded by tons of adoring friends and admirers. But here I am, looking forward to a small life.
Jennette McCurdy
- I'm Glad My Mom Died
I'm becoming an angry person with no tolerance for anyone. I'm aware of this shift and yet have no desire to change it. If anything, I want it. It's armor. It's easier to be angry than to feel the pain underneath it.
Jennette McCurdy
- I'm Glad My Mom Died
Loving someone is vulnerable. It's sensitive. It's tender. And I get lost in them. If I love someone, I start to disappear. It's so much easier to just do googly eyes and fond memories and inside jokes for a few months, run the second things start to get real, then repeat the cycle with someone new.
Starship
- Nothing's Gonna Stop Us Now
Let 'em say we're crazy, what do they know? Put your hand in my hand, baby, don't ever let go. Let the world around us just fall apart. Baby, we can make it if we're heart to heart. And we can build this dream together, standing strong forever, nothing's gonna stop us now. And if this world runs out of lovers, we'll still have each other, nothing's gonna stop us. Nothing's gonna stop us now.

- batman: arkham city
How does it feel, Wayne, to stand on the very stones that ran with your parents' blood? Do you feel sad? Full of rage? Or does that outfit help bury your feelings; hiding your true self? Oh, you are a truly extraordinary specimen... I look forward to breaking you.
H. G. Wells
- Welcome Change and Challenges
We should strive to welcome change and challenges, because they are what help us grow. With out them we grow weak like the Eloi in comfort and security. We need to constantly be challenging ourselves in order to strengthen our character and increase our intelligence.
H. G. Wells
- The Person You Are
Sometimes, you have to step outside of the person you've been and remember the person you were meant to be. The person you want to be. The person you are.
Duffer Brothers
- Hopper's Heart to Heart
But I know you're getting older, growing, changing. And, I guess, if I'm being really honest, that's what scares me. I don't want things to change. So I think maybe that's why I came in here, to try and stop that change. To turn back the clock. To make things go back to how they were. But I know that's naive. It's just not how life works. It's moving, always moving, whether you like it or not. And yeah, sometimes it's painful. Sometimes it's sad. And sometimes, it's surprising. Happy.
