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.
Duffer Brothers
- Hopper's Heart to Heart
So you know what? Keep on growing up, kid. Don't let me stop you. Make mistakes, learn from 'em. And when life hurts you, because it will, remember the hurt. The hurt is good. It means you're out of that cave. But, please, if you don't mind, for the sake of your poor old dad, keep the door open three inches.
Snail Mail
- Deep Sea
Deep sea dive; got down but you, stayed alive. It's only you down there, you and the bends. Lose your mind, lose track of breathing and time. It's only you down there, sleep with the tides.
Jaha | May we Meet Again
- The 100-
And we hereby commit these souls to the deep, who at their last gave all to the world of the living and may be remembered forever until there is no more pain, no more suffering and the abyss itself shall give her dead and return them to us.

John Denver
- Leaving on a Jet Plane
All my bags are packed. I'm ready to go. I'm standin' here outside your door. I hate to wake you up to say goodbye. But the dawn is breakin'. It's early morn. The taxi's waitin'. He's blowin' his horn. Already I'm so lonesome. I could die. So kiss me and smile for me. Tell me that you'll wait for me. Hold me like you'll never let me go. 'Cause I'm leavin' on a jet plane. Don't know when I'll be back again. Oh babe, I hate to go.
