Halsey
- Is There Somewhere?
White sheets, bright lights, crooked teeth, and the nightlife. You tell me this is right where it begins. But your lips hang heavy underneath me. And I promised myself I wouldn't let you complete me. I'm trying not to let it show, that I don't want to let this go. Is there somewhere you can meet me? 'Cause I clutched your arms like stairway railings. And you clutched my brain and eased my ailing.
Noah Kahan
- The View Between Villages
Passed Alger Brook Road, I'm over the bridge, a minute from home but I feel so far from it. The death of my dog, the stretch of my skin, it's all washing over me, I'm angry again. The things that I lost here, the people I knew they got me surrounded for a mile or two. Left at the graveyard, I'm driving past ghosts their arms are extended, my eyes start to close. The car's in reverse, I'm gripping the wheel. I'm back between villages, and everything's still.

- Time
Is time the boundary that cannot be crossed? The gloomy reaper of all, or the silent stalker of man Time waits for no one and ends all on its own, but there is only so much of it. Before your time is up, finish everything. Time does not stop for anyone; it never stops.
Cristiano Ronaldo
- As long as we're winning.
Scoring goals is a great feeling, but the most important thing to me is that the team is successful - it doesn't matter who scores the goals as long as we're winning.
Emily Dickinson
- I had no time to hate because
I had no time to hate because the grave would hinder me, and life was not so ample I could finish enmity Nor had I time to love, but since some industry must be, the little toil of love, I thought, was large enough for me.
Seanvv
- The clock tics
What is time? Is it the line that can't be crossed? The silent stalker of man, or the grim reaper of all? Time ends all, all by time. But there's only so much time. Time waits for nobody. Do all before your time is spent.

- Sleep (excerpt)
The evening hangs beneath the moon, a silver thread on darkened dune. With closing eyes and resting head, I know that sleep is coming soon. Upon my pillow safe in bed, a thousand pictures fill my head. I cannot sleep, my mind's a-flight, and yet my limbs seem made of lead. If there are noises in the night, a frightening shadow, flickering light, as I surrender unto sleep, where clouds of dream give second sight.

- ABC's
Okay, here we go; a b c d e f g h i j k l m n o p q r s t u v w x y z and now we go backwards z y x w v u t s r q p o n m l k j i h g f e d c b a good job! When I was in high school, bored in class one day, I wrote the ABC's down on paper and read them backwards a couple times, and that's all it took for me to memorize them backwards perfectly. It was surprisingly easy! The human brain is a miracle creation of the universe.

- You didn't know
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.
Louis Brandeis
- Concurring Opinions on Whitney v. California
Those who won our independence believed that the final end of the State was to make men free to develop their faculties, and that, in its government, the deliberative forces should prevail over the arbitrary. They valued liberty both as an end, and as a means. They believed liberty to be the secret of happiness, and courage to be the secret of liberty. They believed that freedom to think as you will and to speak as you think are means indispensable to the discovery and spread of political truth.

- Just what I thought about Storytelling
Learn storytelling. It will be one of the best things you invest your time in. There are two types of story. One is an incident and the other is a long term story. It teaches you how to communicate effectively and how you make someone feel. If you learn storytelling, you can easily talk to people, be interesting and remembered by people.
Rocky Balboa
- Motivation Monday
You, me, or nobody is gonna hit as hard as life. But it ain't about how hard you hit. It's about how hard you can get hit and keep moving forward. How much you can take and keep moving forward.
Cassandra Clare
- Jem - City of Heavenly Fire
We are all the pieces of what we remember. We hold in ourselves the hopes and fears of those who love us. As long as there is love and memory, there is no true loss.
Taliesen Jaffe
- Caduceus's Speech (Critical Role C2 110)
Pain doesn't make people. It's love that makes people. The pain is inconsequential. It's love that saves them. And you would know that, but you have none around you; you said so yourself. You surround yourself with lies and deceptions, and... I wish for you in the future to find someone who will mourn you when you are gone. Respectfully.
Margaret Atwood, Oryx and Crake
- Time is Running Out
He has to find more and better ways of occupying his time. His time, what a bankrupt idea, as if he's been given a box of time belonging to him alone, stuffed to the brim with hours and minutes that he can spend like money. Trouble is, the box has holes in it and the time is running out, no matter what he does with it.

- Typists in School
I have noticed that many of the self-written quotes on this website are done by high school students looking for anything to do that isn't their schoolwork. As a teacher, I'm not shocked. Take it one day at a time, kiddos. But you better not be one of my students!
Iain Reid
- I'm Thinking of Ending Things
I'm thinking of ending things. Once this thought arrives, it stays. It sticks. It lingers. It dominates. There's not much I can do about it. Trust me. It doesn't go away. It's there whether I like it or not. It's there when I eat. When I go to bed. It's there when I sleep. It's there when I wake up. It's always there. Always.
Someone who's always tired.
- However, Life is still a Rollercoaster
Up and down, up and down. 'Life is like a rollercoaster' everyone said. Perhaps, because it is true. However, I don't see life as a rollercoaster. I see it as walking down a straight path. Everyone walks their way, straightforward, zig-zag, up and down, rolling, etc. And what happens if you see something that catches your eye? You go to it. You changed your path.
Nionisin
- The "Lord Devil's" hobby
The letters that I - Lord Devil receive from high school kids, and the recordings I make of their phone calls, are my prized collection. There are unhappy people in this world- that fact has been my saving grace. Real stories, straight from the horse's mouth. I get so much more into them than I do reading some canned tearjerker of a novel. I've been collecting other people's unhappiness for three years now, hanging out different shingles. It's not about preying on them, it's about praising them.
Samuel LaFleur
- Focus on the good.
It is so easy to wake up and think about all the things that will make your day worse. Whether it's the dreary weather or the upcoming test you have. Thinking about all the things that could go wrong brings down your mood even if there is no immediate reason for it to do so, so stop thinking about all the bad that may or may not happen and start living every good moment in your day. It's nicer that way.
