Colleen Hoover
- It Ends With Us
All humans make mistakes. What determines a person's character isn't the mistakes we make; it's how we take those mistakes and turn them into lessons rather than excuses.
Neal Shusterman
- Scythe Goddard - Victim
Why must I always be the victim? Why must people make it their mission to tear me down? Have I not honored the commandments and done all a scythe is sworn to do? Have I not been a unifier in troubled times?
Sacha Jenkins
- Graphic Scenes, Spray Fiends, and Millionaires
He who has a tag confines his faint scribble to notebooks, sketch pads, playground slides, back staircases, public restrooms; he has no admirers, well-wishers or arch-rivals. He who writes is a dreamer, a fire starter, a president, a king, an athlete, an astronaut, a flair monger; his universe is forever, his canvas is infinite, his actions become history.
lana del rey
- how to disappear
Joe met me down at the training yard, cuts on his face 'cause he fought too hard. I know he's in over his head, but I love that man like nobody can. He moves mountains and pounds them to ground again.
Melanie Martinez
- The Contortionist
Twisted all my limbs for you. Two of them in knots and two of them in loops. Ribbons tied around like a noose. Wonder if I'll ever get it loose. I don't wanna bruise for you. Holding back my words until my face is blue. I don't really care about your crew. You can tell 'em what you wanted to.
WRENCH!
- The Final Leg.
Your head throbs with adrenaline and a blood-filled rage. That bastard murdered the people you had fought with, survived with, and loved for the past fifteen years. Your feet stomps in sync with your skull throbbing as you rush towards the swordsman. As you rush him, something snags your leg. It was your bud Bob's leg. You fall on your nose; the last thing you see is the dirt soaked in your blood. All that rage and adrenaline leaking out of your neck.
Roman Reigns
- Opportunty
Let me get this straight. You don't have a defense. You got so much ego you won't even fight for this? You won't even explain yourself? You don't care now huh. You got so much ego that you can't even argue for this? It doesn't mean anything to you? I give you opportunity after opportunity. I let you in my family and this is what you do. This is the respect you show me, enough. SOLO!!
Dixon Dallas
I can hardly breathe when he's pumping deep inside. I kiss him on his neck and then he kisses on my bussy. Call him "Daddy" while I holler man, that boy so damn good looking.
Mary Oliver
- October (part 7)
Sometimes in late summer, I won't touch anything, not the flowers, not the blackberries brimming in the thickets; I won't drink from the pond; I won't name the birds or the trees; I won't whisper my own name. One morning the fox came down the hill, glittering and confident, and didn't see me - and I thought: so this is the world. I'm not in it. It is beautiful.
Chappell Roan
- Super Graphic Ultra Modern Girl
You know what they say: never waste a Friday night on a first date. But there I was, in my heels with my hair straight. And so, I took him to this bar. This man wouldn't dance. He didn't ask a single question and he was wearing these fugly jeans. It doesn't matter, though. He doesn't have what it takes to be with a girl like me. Not overdramatic, I know what I want. We're leaving the planet and you can't come.
Zach Bryan
- I remember everything
A cold shoulder at closing time, you were begging me to stay until the sun rose. Strange words come on out of a grown man's mouth when his mind's broke. Pictures and passing time, you only smile like that when you're drinking. I wish I didn't, but I do, remember every moment on the nights with you.
MANUEL
- Gas Gas Gas

Commissar Markov
- Commissar Markhov's Speech
We should spread the word! Citizens of Berlin! A ring of steel surrounds your rotten city! We will crush all those who dare resist the will of the Red Army! Abandon your posts... Abandon your homes... Abandon all hope! Ura!
Geekymedics
- Auscultate the carotid artery
The presence of a bruit suggests underlying carotid stenosis, making palpation of the vessel potentially dangerous due to the risk of dislodging a carotid plaque and causing an ischaemic stroke. Place the diaphragm of your stethoscope between the larynx and the anterior border of the sternocleidomastoid muscle over the carotid pulse and ask the patient to take a deep breath and then hold it whilst you listen.
Friedrich Nietzsche
- Nature and Truth, from On Truth and Lie ,1873
She threw away the key; and woe to the calamitous curiosity that might peer just once through the crack in consciousness and look down, and sense that man rests up on the merciless, the greedy, the insatiable, the murderous, in the indifference of his ignorance--hanging in dreams, as it were upon the back of a tiger. In view of this, whence in all the world comes the urge for truth?
T.J. Klune
- The House in the Cerulean Sea
Hate is loud, but I think you'll learn it's because it's only a few people shouting, desperate to be heard. You might not ever be able to change their minds, but as long as you remember you're not alone, you will overcome.
Seanvv
- The snow is dark
The snow is a vault of darkness and secrets. Why must the snow be so cold? Oh so cold, why so cold, you may never leave the darkness, and you will be condemned to the dark cold snow. While you may be thinking how this is possible, aren't you? Well, don't fret we will all falter into the darkness sooner or later. Tik tok your clock is ticking better make the most of the time that you have left.
Malcolm In the Middle
- Graduation 7x22 - Lois
You know what it's like to be poor and you know what it's like to work hard, now you're gonna know what it's like to sweep floors and bust your ass and accomplish twice as much as all the kids around you, and it won't mean anything because they will still look down on you, and you will want so much for them to like you and they just won't and then it'll break your heart, and that'll make your heart bigger and open your eyes and finally you will realize that there's more to life.
David
- Love Actually
It seems to me that love is everywhere. Often it's not particularly dignified or newsworthy, but it's always there - fathers and sons, mothers and daughters, husbands and wives, boyfriends, girlfriends, old friends. When the planes hit the Twin Towers, as far as I know, none of the phone calls from the people on board were messages of hate or revenge - they were all messages of love. If you look for it, I've got a sneaky feeling you'll find that love actually is all around.
Knowledge-by-XI
- Lessons
I'm slowly learning that, even if I react, it won't change anything. It won't make people suddenly love me. It won't magically change their minds, and respect me. Letting it go may hurt, but holding on will only hurt worse.
