How do you message people on their user account? I try and try but I can get the message sport to open up so that I can type. If anyone has answers to my questions please reply! I'm sure others will benefit from this. Thanks.
Annie Dillard
- An Expedition to the Pole
Polar explorers were chosen, as astronauts are today, from the clamoring, competitive ranks of the sturdy, skilled, and sane. Reading their accounts of life in the extremes, one is struck by their unending formality toward each other. When Scott's Captain Oates sacrificed himself on the Antarctic peninsula because his ruined feet were slowing the march, he stepped outside the tent one night to freeze himself in a blizzard, saying to the others, "I am just going outside and may be some time."
Brandon Sanderson
- Hope
I killed you, once," the Lord Ruler said, turning back to Kelsier. "You tried," Kelsier replied, his voice loud and firm, carrying across the square. "But you can't kill me, Lord Tyrant. I represent that one thing you've never been able to kill, no matter how hard you try. I am hope.
Sherman Alexie
- The Absolutely True Diary of a Part Time Indian
I used to think the world was broken down by tribes, by black and white. By Indian and white. But I know that isn't true. The world is only broken into two tribes: The people who are assholes and the people who are not.
King Aurvandil War-Raven - The Northman (Robert Eggers)
- Your kingdom will not last
Strike, brother, strike. But know that bearing a stolen ring makes no half-breed a king. Soaked in my blood, it will soon be sliding off your arm like a serpent. Your kingdom will not last. Let this misdeed haunt your living nights, until flaming vengeance gorges on your death.

- To melcia - love
To answer your question, look in the Bible. Adam who was a man had a wife named Eve, a woman. That right there is the biblical marriage. It's OK to love your friend, it's OK to have a friend that is your gender. But it's not OK to marry the same gender that's a SIN. If you have more questions, write a quote to me. I will be looking for an address to my name. I hope I answered your questions, give me a response. Thanks! Isaac.
melcia
- love
I'm in love with a girl, but she is of the same gender as me. Is that wrong? Is that a sin? Is that viewed as disgusting? But someone explain to me: the way my heart beats around her, the way I get nervous around her, the way I'm unable to stop smiling when she's around, the way I can't stop thinking about her, the way I look for her in crowds and the way I get excited when I see her friends.

- The two most evil words
I remember hearing from someone "The two most evil words are 'good job.'" While I don't recall who said this, I do remember my drum tech explaining why. He said that if one is given a compliment, his ego is heightened, and the next time is worse. That is why he never gave my drumline any compliments; Only the occasional "Yeah, it's getting there."

Berbuat baik kepada ibu bapa adalah sesuatu yang dituntut dalam setiap agama terutama agama islam. Perkara ini wajar kerana ibu bapa telah bersusah payah mengandung, melahirkan, membesarkan, mendoakan, memberi kasih sayang dan pendidikan kepada anak-anak sejak lahir sehingga ke hari ini. Segala kebaikan mereka tidak mungkin dapat kita lunaskan semuanya. Hari ini media sosial banyak memaparkan video-video dan artikel berkenaan dengan kes yang melibatkan masalah dalam sesebuah keluarga. Video vira.

- Easy? No.
You thought that was going to be an easy quote to boost your stats? Well, it's not. Anyways, you're, undoubtedly, going to be in for, what may be known as by many, an "excruciatingly difficult" battle, which, according to some, rivals that of, not to be taken lightly, trench warfare, or something far worse. In fact, as author, politician, and military veteran James Webb stated, "Before all else, each of us must take a fundamental risk to be true to ourselves."
Kaworu Nagisa
- Hedgehog's dilemma
Are you that afraid of other people? I know that by keeping others at a distance you avoid a betrayal of your trust, for while you may not be hurt that way, but you mustn't forget that you must endure the loneliness. Man cannot erase this sadness, because all men are fundamentally alone.

- I can recite the quadratic formula.
I can recite the quadratic formula. That flashcard was stuck on my wall for up to three months leading up to my GCSEs, engraved into my memory ready to recall and apply to a question that may or may not come up on my maths paper 2. Funnily enough, it did come up on my paper, and I was prepared to answer it, however, there are a whole host of things I have never been taught. Something that will never be on an exam and that no amount of revision notes blu-tacked to my wall will prepare me for.
Arthur Schopenhauer
- Paradise Lost, Lapham's Quarterly
To measure life's happiness by its delights or pleasures is to apply a false standard. Pleasures are and remain something negative. That they produce happiness is a delusion, cherished by envy to its own punishment. Pain is felt to be something positive, and hence its absence is the true standard of happiness. And if, over and above freedom from pain, there is also an absence of boredom, the essential conditions of earthly happiness are attained.
Henry David Thoreau
- Walden
However mean your life is, meet it and live it; do not shun it and call it hard names. It is not so bad as you are. It looks poorest when you are richest. The fault-finder will find faults even in paradise. Love your life, poor as it is. You may perhaps have some pleasant, thrilling, glorious hours, even in a poorhouse.

- Knowing when it's Right
My mother always used to tell me: 'You'll know when it's the right person.' I found it hard to believe her. I had relationships where I thought there was something wrong with me because I just could not feel it. And then I met them. And it is the most destructive feeling I've ever felt.
Chase Atlantic
- Hold Your Breath
Hold your breath, we'll be just fine. A few more drinks then we'll leave, girl. And our two worlds, they will collide. But that's fine with me, girl. And we're almost on tonight. Hold your breath, we'll be just fine...

- Spiders
People say that you're always five feet away from a spider. Now that I think about it that is probably true. Spiders live everywhere, and there's probably one in your walls, under the couch or under a leaf. To escape that reality, I would launch myself into outer space strapped to a seat naked, but then I'd start questioning if there's a handful of webs and spiders crawling around in my non-existent brain.
Milan Kundera
- Farewell Waltz
He looked at the trees along the road. Their foliage was green, red, yellow, and brown. The forest looked aflame. He thought that he was departing at a moment when the forests were on fire and his life and memories were being consumed in those glorious and unfeeling flames. Should he hurt for not hurting? Should he be sad for not being sad?
Brian Dyson
- Five Balls of Life
Imagine life as a game in which you are juggling some five balls in the air. You name them work, family, health, friends and spirit. You will soon understand that work is a rubber ball. If you drop it, it will bounce back. But the other four balls - family, health, friends and spirit - are made of glass. If you drop one of these, they will be irrevocably scuffed, marked, nicked, damaged or even shattered. They will never be the same. You must understand that and strive for balance in your life.
Buffy Summers in The Gift
- Buffy the Vampire Slayer
Dawn, listen to me. Listen. I love you. I will always love you. This is the work that I have to do. Tell Giles I... tell Giles I figured it out, and I'm okay. Give my love to my friends. You have to take care of them now. You have to take care of each other. You have to be strong. Dawn, the hardest thing in this world is to live in it. Be brave. Live... for me.
