the little voice in your head
- At what point is my inner critic right?
Sometimes I will be in the middle of practicing my instrument, whether it be in the orchestra or on my own, and that little voice in my head starts to blare, "What are you doing? There's only a few days left until the concert! How could you possibly sound so bad?" But the thing is, I know, and I've heard from so many people that you are your harshest critic... but still, I sit and I wonder, is it true that I am doing bad? I know it's OK to make mistakes, but at what point am I really doing bad?

There can't be an easy way to justify crime; there can't be justice for all crimes. We can't expect police to respond to all crimes. Maybe we should fund the police. Maybe we shouldn't commit crimes. But greed is greed, and it stays in our nature. Bad people will always be bad people, chased by good people if you can call them that.

- Ode to Spot
A tail is quite essential for your acrobatic talents; You would not be so agile if you lacked its counterbalance. And when not being utilized to aid in locomotion, It often serves to illustrate the state of your emotion.
Hazbin Hotel - Andrew Underberg
- If Hell is Foreverq
To think that I admired you, well, I don't need your condescension. I'm not a child to protect. Was talk of virtue just pretension? Was I too naive to expect you to heed the morals you're purveying? If Hell is forever, then Heaven must be a lie. If angels can do whatever, and remain in the sky. The rules are shades of gray when you don't do as you say; when you make the wretched suffer just to kill them again.

- Cotton Eyed Joe
If it hadn't been for Cotton eyed Joe I'd be married long time ago. Where did you come from where did you go? Where did you come from Cotton eyed Joe?
Hidetaka Miyazaki
- Dark Souls 3 - Ludleth of Courland
Knowest thou of our purpose? Five thrones will take five Lords, as kindling for the linking of the Fire. The fast fading Flame must be linked to preserve this world. A re-enactment of the first linking of the fire. So it is, I became a Lord of Cinder. I may be but small, but I will die a colossus.

In this video, I say the word "the" ten times. I use the letter "e" one hundred twenty-four times. I use the letter "j" only once. But there's one letter - only one - that I never use at all. Can you figure out what it is? No, you quiet, zippy fox, it's not the usual suspects. Also, I say the word "deified" four times in this video. To be deified means to be made into a god. But is to create a god to be a god yourself? Does it go both ways? Well, "deified" reversed is still "deified." Cabbage.

- ONE Thing
Based on my someday goal, what's the ONE Thing I can do in the next five years to be on track to achieve it? Now, based on my five-year goal, what's the ONE Thing I can do this year to be on track to achieve my five-year goal, so that I'm on track to achieve my someday goal?

Now, based on.

You know, there is a Larry King in the real world - He has suspenders, a desk, a TV show, different color lights behind him, and a marquee at the bottom of the screen saying what was just said even though you just heard him.
Thomas Jefferson
- In matters of principle...
In matters of principle, stand like a rock; in matters of taste, swim with the current. Give up money, give up fame, give up science, give up earth itself and all it contains, rather than do an immoral act. And never suppose that in any situation or under any circumstances, it is best for you to do a dishonorable thing. Whenever you are to do a thing, though it can never be known but to yourself, ask yourself how you would act were all the world looking at you, and act accordingly.

If you wanna overthrow the US government, all you have to do is wait. Because right now, there are eleven days each year that the US recognizes as federal holidays. The first four were codified in eighteen-seventy, but since then, we have accumulated seven more. That's a rate of exactly one new federal holiday every fourteen years. At that rate, by the year sixty-nine-eighty, every single day will be a federal holiday, and government employees will have every day off.

He walked down the orchestra hall after getting his violin at the end of the day. I don't remember what his violin case looked like. He looked small and unassuming.
David Bowie
- Changes
And these children that you spit on as they try to change their worlds are immune to your consultations. They're quite aware of what they're going through.
Richard Siken
- Landscape with a blur of conquerors
Why take more than we need? Because we can. Deep footprint, it leaves a hole. You'd break your heart to make it bigger, so why not crack your skull when the mind swells. A thought bigger than your own head... I shovel the color into our faces, I shovel our faces into our faces. They look like me. I move them around. I prefer to blame others, it's easier.
I was in the hallway between the orchestra room and the auditorium, kneeling and unpacking my violin. He came bursting out of the orchestra room, and I looked up, and he looked down, and I looked horrible.
Silent Hill 2
- Mary's Letter
In my restless dreams, I see that town. Silent Hill. You promised me you'd take me there again someday. But you never did. Well, I'm alone there now, in our 'special place', waiting for you. Waiting for you to come to see me...
A-ha Take on Me
- Take on Me
So needless to say, I'm odds and ends but I'll be stumblin' away, slowly learning that life is okay. Say after me, "It's no better to be safe than sorry."
Henry David Thoreau
- Walden - Economy
When I wrote the following pages, or rather the bulk of them, I lived alone, in the woods, a mile from any neighbor, in a house which I had built myself, on the shore of Walden Pond, in Concord, Massachusetts, and earned my living by the labor of my hands only. I lived there two years and two months. At present I am a sojourner in civilized life again.
Jean-Jacques Rousseau
- I love idleness.
I love idleness. I love to busy myself about trifles, to begin a hundred things and not finish one of them, to come and go as my fancy bids me, to change my plan every moment, to follow a fly in all its circlings, to try and uproot a rock to see what is underneath, eagerly begin on a ten years' task and to give it up after ten minutes: in short to fritter away the whole day inconsequentially and incoherently, and to follow nothing but the whim of the moment.
Music: An Appreciation
