Garrison Keillor
- Luck
Some luck lies in not getting what you thought you wanted but getting what you have, which once you have it you may be smart enough to see is what you would have wanted had you known.
Octaves
- "Tax Break"
Don't get me wrong, I encourage all of you to have a good time, but if you insist on having a ball, consider safety! Necessity, she says to me, has mothered all invention. So why, with all we're lacking, are there far too few to mention? A downward spike in the work ethic, despite their parents' best intentions. Good faith only goes so far when what you lack is good affection. What would once land any dance within an instant in detention is now deplorably defended.
Faouzia
- Tears of Gold
Don't you know that I cried tears of gold for you, I sit here poor for you, collect my pennies and my dimes, that's why you love it when I cry, platinum love for you, I'd give no less for you, generosity's my enemy, so I'm broke and your heart's rich because of me.
Taylor Swift
- Taylor Swift - Clean
You are not someone else's opinion of you. You are not damaged goods if you've made a few mistakes in your life. You are not going nowhere just because you haven't gotten to where you want to go yet. You are wiser because you made mistakes. You are someone who is brave enough to take chances and make mistakes.

- I'm Getting a Dog
I'm getting a dog soon hopefully. I'm supposed to go down for a two hour drive with my family to see if we like the dog. I think it's the happiest I've been in a long time. I haven't even been able to get up in the mornings for school and just the thought of this dog has given me so much energy I could run a marathon. This dog just might save my life.
DeLauryn
- The itch in my brain
I have an itch in my brain and I know you know what I mean. There's an itch in my brain that music can't scratch. I'm not sure what that means, but maybe I've consumed too much media.
Turkey Tom
- The Roblox Video
The users that help with moderating and working on games are often as young as the people playing them. This means that if you're someone with any amount of game dev knowledge, all you need to do is create a mildly successful game on Roblox, and you'll have a legion of children lining up to come work for you. The kids truly yearn for the mines.
Shakespeare
- Macbeth Act 1 Scene 7
I am settled and bend up each corporal agent to this terrible feat. Away, and mock the time with fairest show. False face must hide what the false heart doth know.

- axiom of choice
One does not need to invoke the axiom of choice to construct a choice function on a finite number of sets. This can be done using existential instantiation a finite number of times. Nor is the axiom necessarily needed to construct a choice function on an infinite collection of sets. For example, if the union of such a collection has a bijective correspondence with a well-ordered set. The axiom of choice is only needed when constructing a choice function would require infinitely many steps.
Margaret Atwood
- Variations on the word sleep
I would like to follow you up the long stairway again and become the boat that would row you back carefully, a flame in two cupped hands to where your body lies beside me, and you enter it as easily as breathing in. I would like to be the air that inhabits you for a moment only. I would like to be that unnoticed and that necessary.

- Just one more quote...
I don't understand how a website like this one could be so addictive, just one more quote, five more minutes, just one more test with perfect accuracy. My keyboard and fingers are one, as I fly through the quote seamlessly without error. Typing is a real addiction, there is no endgame! Just one more quote...
Not Important
- Love
"Roses are red, violets are blue. I like you." That was the note I found in my locker. I had never gotten a love note before. How was I supposed to react? Should I run away, change my name, and move countries? Or should I write them back? I know! I'll just pretend I never saw it.
Person
- My Opinion On Typing
I don't get why there are so many quotes on this website where people say they wrote a short quote so that people don't have to try as hard on it. To me, the point of this website is to be challenged so that you can become a better touch typist. It's not to choose the easy way out so you can have a higher WPM. You will only be skilled at typing once you actually try to become better and challenge yourself.

Under the wilted tree, hold your hands with me. For under soil, our souls will prosper. A life well-lived in aging bones. Lie with me in creaky shadow, we'll stand the test of time and stone.
Archbishop Fulton Sheen
- When we measure ourselves to God
It is when we measure ourselves by God, we fall infinitely short; and when we compare ourselves with many who have given us inspiration, we feel a deep sense of unworthiness. But behind it all, and despite all of this, there is the tremendous consciousness of the mercy of God. He did not call angels to be priests; He called men. He did not make gold vessel for his treasure; He made clay. The motley group of apostles that He gathered about him became more worthy through his mercy and compassion.

Usually, I don't care about grammar and the changes of the English language, but there are a few examples where it makes the word pretty much unusable. The word nonplussed means very surprised or confused, which is the opposite of how it's usually used. This means if I use it the correct way, most people won't understand, but the wrong way, and people who know the right way will come after me.
Turkish (Snatch, 2000)
- Harder than a coffin nail
It turned out that the sweet-talking, tattoo-sporting pikey was a gypsy bare-knuckle boxing champion. Which makes him harder than a coffin nail. Right now, that's the last thing on Tommy's mind. If Gorgeous doesn't wake up in the next few minutes Tommy knows he'll be buried with him. Why would the gypsies go through the trouble of explaining why a man died in their campsite when they can bury the pair of them and just move camp? It's not like they got social security numbers, is it?

- So small
And I didn't like it. I didn't like the way the stars stared at me. I bet they laugh at me, a feeble speck of hopelessness. The stars know I envy their twinkle; their omnipotent beam. The stars laugh at me, though I can't help but extend my gander with gritted teeth, and culpable eyes. The stars shine so bright. Bitter, blinding, bright.
Zote the Mighty
- Precept Two: 'Never Let Them Laugh at You'
Fools laugh at everything, even at their superiors. But beware, laughter isn't harmless! Laughter spreads like a disease, and soon everyone is laughing at you. You need to strike at the source of this perverse merriment quickly to stop it from spreading.
Caitlin Kelly
- Space
Space is when the relationship isn't working. Space is when you're tired of fighting. Space is when you both need time. Space is when you can't heal together. Space isn't what I need. Space is what you say you need. I guess we aren't on the same page.
