William Peter Blatty
- Legion
I believe that this force was a person who long ago tore himself into pieces because of his longing to shape his own being. That was the Fall," he said, "the 'Big Bang': the beginning of time and the material universe when the one became many-legion. And that is why God cannot interfere: evolution is this person growing back into himself.

- = (Equal Sign)
Though I try crying out until I lose my voice, it's a silent outcry. That I'm different, it's palpable. Risen to the top by playing fair, I tilt my head in confusion and hit my chest in frustration. It's such a big, wide world, and such narrow minds people have. We don't necessarily have to be the same, but why is it a sin to be different? Beyond age, beyond gender, beyond nationality. Perhaps this is homework for everyone., that the victim of prejudice is no one else but us.
Mustafa Kemal Ataturk
- Ataturk's Letter to Anzac Mothers - 1934
Those heroes that shed their blood and lost their lives... You are now lying in the soil of a friendly country. Therefore rest in peace. There is no difference between the Johnnies and the Mehmets to us where they lie side by side in this country of ours. You, the mothers, who sent their sons from far away countries, wipe away your tears. Your sons are now lying in our bosom and are in peace. After having lost their lives on this land they have become our sons as well.

Gordon Lightfoot
- If You Could Read My Mind
If you could read my mind, love, what a tale my thoughts could tell! Just like an old time movie 'bout a ghost from a wishing well in a castle dark or a fortress strong with chains upon my feet. You know that ghost is me. And I will never be set free as long as I'm a ghost, you can't see. If I could read your mind, love, what a tale your thoughts could tell! Just like a paperback novel, the kind the drugstore sells. When you reach the part where the heartaches come the hero would be me.

- Close The Window
I hate commercials! I just saw an advertisement that said it wanted to personalize its offerings for me. I'm not going to buy or download anything, anyway, so why bother? It's just a waste of time. Then I must wait 30 seconds (sometimes 45 seconds), until it's over. If there is a skip feature, I will find it. There are times that it's easier to answer the survey commercials with "none of the above" makes it go away faster. If an unexpected commercial comes on, I usually just close the window.

- Matilda
You can let it go. You can throw a party full of everyone you know, and not invite your family, cause they never showed you love. You don't have to be sorry for leaving and growing up. You're just in time, make your tea and yours toast, you framed all your posters and dyed your clothes. You don't have to go home. Oh, there's a long way to go...
Karl Marx
- Economic & Philosophic Manuscripts of 1844
The less you eat, drink, buy books, go to the theatre or to balls, or to the pub, and the less you think, love, theorize, sing, paint, fence, etc., the more you will be able to save and the greater will become your treasure which neither moth nor rust will corrupt-your capital. The less you are, the less you express your life, the more you have, the greater is your alienated life and the greater is the saving of your alienated being.

- Typing Everyday
I am checking out my typing skills using different document platforms. I need to practice my typing skills, which is how I found this site. At the same time, I am also giving my word expansion software a test drive as well. Using different typing websites, it sometimes works well together, and other times not so much. It all depends on the website and how they count the letters during a typing test. Is the spacing or capitals software synced up alright? Once that is done, I can begin to type.

- You Can Always Edit
So many of these quotes either get downvoted or have terribly rude comments about how that particular quote has terrible grammar, syntax, spelling, or punctuation. Even if that is true, commenting doesn't really do anything, and downvoting will get it removed. To me, this is not usually necessary, especially if the quote is otherwise good or inspiring. My solution is, of course, the edit button. With a few keystrokes, you (yes, you) can edit the quote to make it good!

- The Honeys
This is a maze I've failed once before, yet reentered willingly; I'm determined to reach the center of it this time. But what path do I take? Do I integrate, or do I defy? Whichever path, I can't afford to be intimidated this early on. I leave the lip gloss on. Bright things in nature are often poisonous. Let that be my defense, then. Let Aspen watch, and predators prowl, and all the waiting jaws yawn wider. I will be a ruin to consume.

- Clinic visit

In the clinic today, he is afebrile with no signs of infection. His right tympanic membrane is within normal limits. He states he has been exercising regularly without tachypnea.

- Interestingly enough
Interestingly enough, losing love hurts. Not in the way that you'd expect it to with a burning sensation of every moment of every day. Not even in the on and off feeling of loneliness you get on a Sunday evening. Losing love hurts knowing you've lost someone you've loved and you may never feel that certain way ever again about that certain someone. All those memories parade around you and the sting of what you once had pangs your heart at tmies when you least expect it.
Ali ibn Abi Talib
- Meaning of Life
Life consists of two days, one for you one against you. So when it's for you don't be proud or reckless, and when it's against you be patient, for both days are test for you. The best deed of a great man is to forgive and forget. A graceful refusal is better than a lengthy promise.
Grey's Anatomy
- Where the Wild Things Are
There's a little animal in all of us. And maybe that's something to celebrate. Our animal instinct is what makes us seek comfort, or a pact to run with. We may feel caged, we may feel trapped, but still, as humans, we can find ways to feel free. We are each others keepers. We are the guardians of our own humanity. And even though there's a beast inside all of us, what sets us apart from the animals is that we can feel, dream, and love. And against all odds, against all instinct, we evolve.

Miles: 07-24-2017 11:49 My work at the bank was going well, Mum, but today was not my day. I was supposed to be at the office at 12:00, but my car just broke down. I'd better forget about the promotion. Miles: 07-24-2017 12:11 I'm in an Uber and almost there. I'm about to cry! Miles: 07-24-2017 12:44 Mum, I'm the new COO!

Sometimes, the people that we choose to be our partner will hurt us. But sometimes we're the ones causing the pain. And in the end... we'll learn from it. You, yourself, have a life ahead.
