Benjamin Hoff - And the Ugly Duckling

[English] 19 Stunden, 2 Minuten by user111094

RabIn the story of the Ugly Duckling, when did the Ugly Duckling stop feeling ugly? When he realized that he was a Swan. Each of us has something special, a Swan of some sort, hidden inside somewhere. But until we recognize that it's there, what can we do but splash around, treading water? The Wise are Who They Are. They work with what they've got and do what they can do.

Darren Shan - El Aprendiz De Vampiro

[Español (Spanish)] 1 Tag, 7 Stunden by alex-dm

En las novelas, los protagonistas pueden cometer tantos errores como quieran. No importa lo que hagan, porque al final todo sale bien. Derrotan a los malos, arreglan las cosas y todo acaba bien. Pero la vida real es horrible. Es cruel. No le importa los protagonistas heróicos y los finales felices y cómo deberían ser las cosas. En la vida real, las cosas malas suceden. La gente muere. Las luchas se pierden y a menudo vence el mal.

YOU touched my heart and brought me out of the dark,YOU kept me safe in your arms and gave me all your love and charms then you let go and pushed me back in the dark where I nurse my cold broken heart -three years later- Someone asked if i missed you and i didn't answer. I just closed my eyes and walked away. and i whisper: never ever again.

Larry McMurtry - Querido Billy

[Español (Spanish)] 1 Tag, 22 Stunden by nbear1138

Por supuesto, él sabía muy bien que era así. En el Oeste, todo el mundo había oído hablar de él, sin contar a muchas personas en otras partes del mundo. Desde hacía dos años, cuando liquidaron a Wild Bill Hickok en Dakota del Sur, dudo que existiera otro pistolero con una reputación semejante a la de Billy. Pero me limité a Mirarlo y a intentar mantener una actitud relajada.

The Weakerthans - Sounds Familiar

[English] 1 Tag, 23 Stunden by soupqueen29

And that still twitching bird was so deceived by a window, so we eulogized, we dug deep and threw its elegant plumage and frantic black eyes in a hole and rushed out to kill something new so we could bury that too. The first chapters of life almost made us give up altogether.

David Sainz (El negro) - Filosofia Malviviendo

[Español (Spanish)] 4 Tage by nbear1138

Y así son todos los días, idénticos, dejando pasar las horas como si fuesen los anuncios que nos obligan a ver mientras esperamos que nuestro programa preferido empiece. Vuelvo a casa tarde mintiéndome y prometiendo que mañana voy a empezar a ponerme en serio, que me hago viejo ¿A quién voy a engañar? seguiré sentado esperando un golpe de suerte. Tarde o temprano me tiene que tocar a mí.

Arthur Schopenhauer

[English] 4 Tage, 14 Stunden by haberdashery

The conversation among ordinary people, when it does not relate to any special matter of fact, but takes a more general character, mostly consists in hackneyed commonplaces, which they alternately repeat to each oother with the utmost complacency.

Maggie Stiefvater - Linger

[English] 5 Tage, 23 Stunden by marco4n4

Once upon a time, Mom really liked Sam. She'd even flirted with him in her mom way and asked him to sing and pose for a portrait. But that was back when he was just a boy that I was seeing. Now that it was clear that Sam was here to stay, Mom's friendliness had evaporated and she an I communicated in the language of silence.

Virginia Woolf - La chambre de Jacob

[Français (French)] 6 Tage, 1 Stunde by dcb87

Aucun de nous ne voit les autres tels qu'ils sont, et pas plus une cinquantenaire assise en face d'un jeune inconnu, dans le train. Ce qu'on voit, c'est un ensemble - c'est toutes sortes de choses - c'est « soi » qu'on voit.

Homero J. Simpson - Esto es el barrio chino

[Español (Spanish)] 1 Woche by choic13

No sabes como es eso, Marge... yo soy el que va todo los días ahí a romperse el alma... ¡Y no estoy fuera de lugar! ¡Tú estas fuera de lugar! ¡Todo el maldito sistema está fuera de lugar! ¡¿Quieres la verdad?! ¡¿Quieres la verdad?! ¡Tú no puedes manejar la verdad! Porque cuando se levanta la mano para tocar la cara de lo que fue tu mejor amigo y es un montón de basura... uno... no sabe que hacer. ¡Olvídalo, Marge! ¡Esto es el barrio chino!

Anonymous - Perception

[English] 1 Woche by tprasad5787

It's funny how perception can affect someone's response to a simple phrase so drastically. Working at a call center I have a tendency to refer to people as sir or ma'am. It's interesting how people respond; some people are so offended while others seem to really appreciate it. It doesn't seem too dependent on age. I've gotten older people who appreciate the formal title, and some fall into the offended camp. Same with younger people as well. Strange world.

Julian Koster - The Orbiting Human Circus

[English] 1 Woche by lehcarn64

And as the janitor talks, his features soften, and his body becomes more relaxes, and the expression of concern and intention on the night watchman's face slowly transforms into a look of interest and amusement. And, in a few moments, neither of them is the least bit aware of the fact that, minutes ago, Coco had nearly been removed from this world by a falling bucket, because he is being removed from the world now, by something much nicer.

Peyton Sawyer - Breathe - OTH

[English] 1 Woche, 1 Tag by loogan

It's a rush. This new darkness that appears. Everything is coming at you so fast. One second you're happy with your life, and then you get this over towering feeling of sadness. In this depression you feel alone, knowing of rejection. All because something happens and you don't know how to react, because simply of the process of letting someone in. Especially, when the people closest to you disappoint you. Even when they think they were protecting you, but all we need to do is breathe.

Below, the audience waits with bated breath. With stars in their eyes the likes of which we've never seen, they watch your lips move ever so slightly; waiting. "You guys are too kind. You guys, I can't find words to describe how little and insignificant this award is."
