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.

- Big Questions
Time runs away because it's time. Simple, isn't it? One blink and half of your life is gone. But when its time to ask the big questions, feel the big feelings, see the big world, time slows and walks with you.
Les Miserables
- Do you hear the people sing?
Do you hear the people sing? Singing the song of angry men? It is the music of a people who will not be slaves again! When the beating of your heart echos the beating of the drums, there is a life about to start when tomorrow comes!
Vampire Weekend
- Pravda
They always ask me about pravda. It's just the Russian word for truth. Your consciousness is not my problem. Cause when I come home, it won't be home to you.
Orion
- red vs blue
Hey. Yeah? You ever wonder why we're here? It's one of life's great mysteries isn't it? Why are we here? I mean, are we the product of some cosmic coincidence, or is there really a God watching everything? You know, with a plan for us and stuff. I don't know, man, but it keeps me up at night. What?! I mean why are we out here, in this canyon? Oh. Uh... yeah. What was all that stuff about God? Uh... hm? Nothing. You wanna talk about it? No. You sure? Yeah. Seriously though, why are we out here?

- Typing in the Office
I do my typing practice in my office when it's slow. Sometimes I get on a roll and my time and accuracy is great... and then the phone rings. I have to quit in the middle of some of my best times so I can answer the phones. That's the worst.
The Protomen
- Hope Rides Alone (Intro)
No one was left who could remember how it had happened. How the world had fallen under darkness. At least no one who would do anything. No one who would oppose the robots. No one who would challenge their power. Or so Dr. Wily believed...

Robert Caro
- The Hill Country Trap - Fate
The first settlers did not realize they were crossing a significant line. They came into the new land blithely. After all those years in which they had feared poverty, they saw at last the glimmers of a new hope.

Max Payne
- The Bad Joke Everybody Got But Me
It was the question I kept on asking myself. How could I have been so blind? I'd been convinced the Brancos had got the wrong man for the job, but maybe Da Silva was right. I was the stooge. The bad joke everybody got but me.
Neil Gaiman
- Yvaine's Monologue- Stardust (2)
So, yes, I know that love is unconditional. But I also know it can be unpredictable, unexpected, uncontrollable, unbearable, and strangely easy to mistake for loathing. And, well, what I'm trying to say, Tristan, is... I think I love you.
J. Robbins
- Underestimating Intelligence
I think there's been this long cycle of the big companies making a lot of money by underestimating people's intelligence and people are used to it now. So, they're so used to having their intelligence underestimated that, for most of them, it really isn't worth the bother of paying a little more attention to something that might hit them on a deeper level. But you can't really read people's minds.

- Universal Separation
Do you ever wonder how the aliens view us? Do they call us aliens? I wonder if other "beings" are doing all the research we are, sending signals out into the universe, hoping to find life out there so they don't feel so alone. Just imagine if our universe was so close to where all planets were able to communicate with their "beings" or life forms. We wouldn't feel so alone. Sadly, things would turn into wars and disasters. Maybe that's why we have been placed so far apart from one another.
Thomas Wolfe
- Look Homeward, Angel
The pictures of battle delighted him most of all. Exulting in the howl of the beaten wind about the house, the thunder of great trees, he committed himself to the dark storm, releasing the mad devil's hunger all men have in them, which lusts for darkness, the wind and incalculable speed.
Jon snow
- Game of Thrones
They fought together, against their common enemy. Despite their differences, despite their suspicions-together. And we need to do the same if we're going to survive, because the enemy is real. It's always been real.

- Me and my Husband - Mitski on Be The Cowboy
I steal a few breaths from the world for a minute, and then I'll be nothing forever, and all of my memories and all the things I have seen, will be gone. With my eyes and my body. But me and my husband, we're doing better. It's always been just him and me together, so I bet all that I have on that furrowed brow. And at least in this life time, we're sticking together. Me and my husband, we're sticking together.
Thom Yorke
- Nude - In Raindows - Radiohead
Don't get any big ideas. They're not gonna happen. You paint yourself white. And feel up with noise. But there'll be something missing. Now that you've found it, it's gone. Now that you feel it, you don't. You've gone off the rails.

- If by you you mean we
The apples are early this year, and the grass is late. The taxi is early and the past is late. The fist is late. The tooth - like the news of the tooth - broke both early and late. I'm telling you: this all really happened. I had a love and I ripped through like it was bread.

- Buffalo
His hands were quick, and his aim was true. Jim "Buffalo" Granger's tongue flicked like a snake's, and yet his ego was one of a rowdy Cajun delinquent. Only a single bent hair of your eyebrow could trigger him immensely. And in case you didn't reciprocate his feelings, his snake's tongue could get you to. And if you found yourself at the end of his dead eye, he could slam a round right between your eyes before your brain could even produce the thought of touching your pistol.
