Thomas Pynchon
- Gravity's Rainbow - In the Zone (first paragraph)
We are safely past the days of the Eis-Heiligen - St. Pancratius, St. Servatius, St. Bonifacius, die kalte Sophie... they hover in clouds above the vineyards, holy beings of ice, ready with a breath, an intention, to ruin the year with frost and cold. In certain years, especially War years, they are short on charity, peevish, smug in their power: not quite saintly or even Christian. The prayers of growers and wine enthusiasts must reach them, but there's no telling how the ice-saints feel.

- Happy Words
I find it funny that there are words in the human language that people like. Words that are fun to say or feel good to say. I like the word "jumbotron." I like the word "Escondido" and will just randomly say it.

- Jessica
It took some time and I'm no better for it, just tired and unsure. I might be damaged and unfixable but at least I don't think of her anymore. No, at least I don't think of her anymore. I don't think of Jessica at all... is what I tell myself to ease the fall. Maybe if I say it, I'll believe it after all. I don't think of Jessica at all.
Pierce Brown
- Red Rising
I live for the dream that my children will be born free. That they will be what they like. That they will own the land their father gave them.' 'I live for you,' I say sadly. She kisses my cheek. 'Then you must live for more.
Joseph Heller
- Good as Gold
Gold's stepmother was knitting an endless strip of something bulky that was too narrow to be a shawl and too wide and uniformly straight to be anything else. It was around six inches broad and conceivably thousands of miles long, for she had been working on that same strip of knitting even before her marriage to his father many years before. Gold had a swimming vision of that loosely woven strip of material flowing out the bottom of her straw bag to the residence Sid found...
Chappell Roan
- Pink Pony Club
I swear it's calling me. Won't make my mama proud. It's gonna cause a scene. She sees her baby girl. I know she's gonna scream. God, what have you done. You're a pink pony girl. And you dance at the club.
Love and Deepspace
- Sylus
Sylus is the mysterious leader of Onychinus, the whispered-about real ruler of the N109 Zone that few one has seen. Everyone in the N109 Zone wants to strike a deal with him, but only a handful ever got a chance.
Taylor Swift
- Champagne Problems
How evergreen, our group of friends. Don't think we'll say that word again. And soon they'll have the nerve to deck the halls that we once walked through. One for the money, two for the show. I never was ready so I watch you go. Sometimes you just don't know the answer 'til someone's on their knees and asks you. "She would've made such a lovely bride, what a shame she's fucked in the head," they said. But you'll find the real thing instead. She'll patch up your tapestry that I've shred.
Muni Long
- Made For Me
Nobody knows me like you do. Nobody gonna love me quite like you. Can't even deny it. Every time I try it, one look in my eyes you know I'm lyin', lyin'. Body to body, skin to skin, I'm never gonna love like this again. You were made for me. Said you were made for me. Think you were made for me. Oh yeah, you were made for me.
Blind Melon
- Change
And when you feel like life ain't worth living, you've got to stand up and take a look around, and you look up way to the sky. And when your deepest thoughts are broken, keep on dreaming boy, 'cause when you stop dreaming it's time to die.
Resnick & Wolff
- Knowledge & Class
Althusser rejects any essentialism within either dialectical or historical materialism. No one aspect or instance is the essence of any other. There is no subject of which the social totality is the predicate: no essence, no origin, and no telos. Rather, history is seen as the ceaseless interplay or mutual effectivity of aspects or instances. It is a process without a subject, theistic or otherwise. Althusser's notion of dialectical materialism rules out any essentialist concept of society.

Fuck blind people, and deaf people suck. So do cripples, dumb quadriplegic fucks, with Christopher Reeve's luck. Oh, here comes Marshall to try to clean this up. What's the matter, Marshall? Your penis tucked? Aw, the big bad wapper just get his feewings hurt? You gonna cancel me, yeah? Gen-Z me, bruh? Little pussy, what's wrong?
Eminem
- Love the Way You Lie
All I know is I love you too much to walk away, though. Come inside, pick up bags off the sidewalk. Don't you hear sincerity in my voice when I talk? Told you this was my fault, look me in the eyeballs. Next time I'm ticked I'll aim my fist at the drywall. Next time, there won't be no next time! I apologize even though I know it's lies. I'm tired of the games, I just want her back. I know I'm a liar. If she ever tries to freaking leave again, Imma tie her to the bed and set this house on fire!

- Achieving Success
Believe in yourself and all that you are. Know that there is something inside you that is greater than any obstacle. Don't be afraid to take risks, to make mistakes, and to learn from them. Embrace challenges as opportunities for growth and never let the fear of failure hold you back. Remember that success is not just about reaching a destination but also about the journey you take and the person you become along the way. So, dream big, work hard, stay focused, and always believe in the power of.
Final Fantasy XIV
- Emet Selch's Monologue
I have lived a thousand-thousand of your lives. I have broken bread with you, fought with you, grown ill, grown old, sired children, and yes, welcomed death's sweet embrace. For eons I have measured your worth and found you wanting. Too weak and feeble-minded to serve as stewards of any star! You cannot be entrusted with our legacy.
ERNEST & Lainey Wilson
- Would if I could
I would if I could but I can't, so I won't but I want to. I'd love to say yes but it's best if I don't, though I'd like to. I love you enough that I'm letting you go, I love you so much that I'm telling you no. I would if I could but I can't, so I won't but I want to...
J. M. Amper
Life is like a piano. There are black keys and white keys. If you are young and inexperienced, I recommend playing in the key of C major or A minor. If you are merely inexperienced, stick to the key of C major.

- Empaths and love
Why do empaths love so deeply? It's because we are sensitive and we feel emotions deeply, deeper than average. Because of this, the energy and emotion can feel even more intense. So when we fall in love, we can fall deeply and quickly. They are givers. It's in their nature to give more than they receive. They need love and energy in return. Love with all your heart, Empath. Chase the deepness and meaning you long for in a relationship until you find someone who makes it all feel natural.
