- Goodbye Are Forever
"You better hug me tonight because I might not be here tomorrow." That's a pretty dark thing to tell a child before bed. In hindsight I've realized that he had battled his own existence for longer than I'd even existed. All he left his four children was a hole in the ceiling and a stain on the carpet. The more I analyze myself the more the rage turns to sympathy. He was broken. He was also more than that but he was consumed by the pain. Goodbye is forever, so goodbye. I hope you loved me.

- Iron Pipe Weapon Story 1-4
Dad, if you're cold, I can give you my hat. You're the best father in the world, after all! Dad, if you're hungry, you can have my cookie. You're my favorite person in the world, after all! Dad, if you're scared, I can sleep by your side. You're my closest friend in the world, after all! So please don't go anywhere. All right, Dad? Don't leave your Yonah all alone ... okay?

- Theoden - Where is the horse and rider?
Where is the horse and the rider? Where is the horn that was blowing? They have passed like rain on the mountain, like wind in the meadow. The days have gone down in the West behind the hills into shadow. How did it come to this?
NotMe
- Being Used
I am a people pleaser. I get used on a daily and I know that it might be sad but I am used to it by now. I don't care if people walk all over me as long as they are happy, that is all that matters. I would rather be unhappy than make someone else unhappy. I guess I am just used to being used.
Rex Orange County
- Pure
So it started on me, I know my babe. We live some more than I would ever choose to take. But, honestly, I wouldn't want it any other way. And all we have is right now. Let's speak still and find some place 'til we run out of time. Right now. Are you coming with me baby? Will you hold my hand?

- scariest alien message to receive from outer space
I have been watching you since you learned to walk. I have been protecting you since you learned to talk. I have been killing for you since you learned to write. One hundred twelve times I have slain a race that would subjugate you or worse. Following this message is an aggressor powerful enough to destroy me. I love you. Good luck.

- No Excuses
Write down your goals and implement the Seven-Step Method. Self-discipline is all perfect, but you need to set clear goals for it to work. You can do that by physically writing them down. Most people sit and think about their goals but don't make them a reality. When you manually write them down, you're taking a step toward creating a strategy and manifesting them. Go ahead and write it down. Then, work out how you can make it work. What do you need to take steps forward?
Suzanne Collins
- The Ballad of Songbirds and Snakes
"The District Twelve tribute is Lucy Gray Baird," he said into a mic. The camera swept over the crowd of gray, hungry faces in gray, shapeless clothing, seeking the tribute. It zoomed in towards a disturbance, girls drawing back from the unfortunate chosen one.

- sigma.
The real sigma is me. Why does nobody understand me? I thought that I had told everyone I saved Ohio from Baby Gronk. Even the level 10 gyatts watched me! I don't get it! I drank all the Grimace Shakes and got buffed, I saved Ohio with my griddying.

The alphas has gotten control over Ohio and drank all the grimace shakes. They have now captured the ultimate sigma Blossom Rose Young and are hitting the griddy all over her Kai Cenant gyat.
NotMe
- Thank You!
One friend helped me when I was at my lowest, another held me on nights that I cried because of the emotional and physical pain I was in. Another one made me realized that I am worth something, while the same friend told me that ending my life would only end the pain for me but cause pain everywhere else. And lastly, one friend brought back my light after being lost in the dark for so long.
Frank Herbert
- Terrible Purpose
He understood terrible purposes. They drove against all odds. They were their own necessity. Paul felt that he had been infected with terrible purpose. He did not know yet what the terrible purpose was.
SamRio
- Marriage House
My house is like my marriage. The foundation is destroyed. Everything is being patched together, the cracks in the wall are just filled in where they keep cracking with every season, the house floods when it rains, the doors are always having issues closing... my marriage is like my house. It is decorated so nicely and everyone loves my house, my kids like the house; but the foundation is destroyed and everything is patched together.
Ayanga & HOYO
- Regression
Every night brings a dream but the day relentlessly keeps me awake. All the rest will be torn up whenever a choice is made. Every living soul in the fray striving for their own safe place. Life is too long to end at a grave.
Mary Shelley
- Frankenstein
When I had attained the age of seventeen my parents resolved that I should become a student at the unversity of Ingolstadt. I had hitherto attended the schools of Geneva, but my father thought it necessary for the completion of my education that I should be made acquainted with other customs than those of my native country.
Raiyan
It takes a beautiful mind to be able to appreciate the little things that surround us. A lot of us are too trapped in our daily lives that we forget there are bigger things. Please take breaks once in a while. Appreciate life as it is. It's the only one you've got so make it count.
Desk Jockey
- Help Me Help You
I learned a major key to managing depression is to think about what I am grateful for. Gratitude shifts my focus from a personal vendetta to a physical belonging. It can be something small or easily overlooked. The roof overhead. The feeling in my fingertips. The clock clock sound of the keyboard. Why am I even feeling sorry for myself?
Neil Gaiman
- Yvaine's Monologue-Stardust (3)
Is this love, Tristan? I never imagined I'd know it for myself. My heart... it feels like my chest can barely contain it. Like it's trying to escape because it doesn't belong to me anymore; it belongs to you. And if you wanted it, I'd wish for nothing in exchange- no gifts. No goods. No demonstrations of devotion. Nothing but knowing you loved me too. Just your heart, in exchange for mine.
Iris Murdoch
- Salvation by Words
Both art and philosophy constantly re-create themselves by returning to the deep and obvious and ordinary things of human existence and making there a place for cool speech and wit and serious unforced reflection.
Henry James
- The Portait of a Lady
Mrs. Ludlow was the eldest of the three sisters, and was usually thought the most sensible; the classification being in general that Lilian was the practical one, Edith the beauty and Isabel the "intellectual" superior. Mrs. Keyes, the second of the group, was the wife of an officer of the United States Engineers, and as our history is not further concerned with her it will suffice that she was indeed very pretty.
