- 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.
Ignacio Richardson
- Worry about now!
Do what you can do now and don't worry about the future because if you do you will be stuck in this loop of constant worry of the future. Also don't dwell on the past either because you will tend to think about the bad things that have happened to you and then you will tend to talk bad on yourself.
Ramana Maharshi
- Non Dualism
Become conscious of being conscious. Say or think "I am," and add nothing to it. Be aware of the stillness that follows the "I am." Sense your presence, the naked unveiled, unclothed beingness. It is untouched by young or old, rich or poor, good or bad, or any other attributes. It is the spacious womb of all creation, all form.
Nine Inch Nails
- The Great Below
Staring at the sea, will she come? Is there hope for me, after all is said and done? Anything at any price, all of this for you. All the spoils of a wasted life, all of this for you. All the world has closed her eyes, tired faith all worn and thin; for all we could have done and all that could have been. Ocean pulls me close and whispers in my ear. The destiny I've chose, all becoming clear. The currents have their say, the time is drawing near. Washes me away, makes me disappear.
Anchor Man
- I like to do the cha cha
The White House Reception Committee greeted The Prime Rib Roast Minister; and I do the cha cha like a sissy girl. I like a do da cha cha... I'm sorry we seem to be having some technical difficulties.
TV Girl
- Talk to Strangers
Don't take candy. Don't get in someone's car. Don't let anybody touch you, no matter who they are. The police are at your door. Turns out the killer was your neighbor. He seemed like such a normal guy. A little quite, nothing major. You should've listened to your mother: don't ever talk to strangers.

- characteristics of an aquatic ecosystem
An aquatic ecosystem is comprised of many different factors. A primary difference between the different factors are whether or not they are considered biotic or abiotic. Some abiotic factors of aquatic ecosystems include the depth, clarity, pH, turbidity, salinity, temperature, amount of dissolved oxygen, amount of sunlight and the types of dissolved nutrients inside ecosystem. Three primary zones are present in the water, and they are characterized by the type of flora and the level of sunlight.

- hormones in the digestive system
One of the important factors under hormonal control is the stomach acid environment. During the gastric phase, the hormone gastrin is secreted by G cells in the stomach in response to the presence of proteins. Gastrin stimulates the release of stomach acid, or hydrochloric acid (HCl) which aids in the digestion of the proteins. However, when the stomach is emptied, the acidic environment need not be maintained and a hormone called somatostatin stops the release of hydrochloric acid.
Taylor Swift
- Getaway Car
It was the best of times, the worst of crimes. I struck a match and blew your mind. But I didn't mean it, and you didn't see it. The ties were black, the lies were white. In shades of gray in candlelight. I wanted to leave him, I needed a reason. X marks the spot where we fell apart. He poisoned the well, I was lyin' to myself. I knew it from the first Old Fashioned, we were cursed. We never had a shotgun shot in the dark.
No One Is Alone
- Destiny
I don't believe there's any such thing as destiny, Michaela," he finally says. "Life presents us with opportunities, and we make choices. Some of those choices are poorly thought out. Most choices have to be made before we know what life is going to offer us tomorrow, or next week, or next year.

Epictetus
- Stoic Discourses
The chief task in life is simply this: 'To identify and separate matters so that I can say clearly to myself which are externals not under my control, and which have to do with the choices I actually control. Where then do I look for good and evil? Not to uncontrollable externals, but within myself, to the choices that are my own.'.
Lil Yachty
- The BLACK Seminole.
What's wrong? What's wrong, Mr. Man? Your eyes are low and you're walking with both hands on your head. His response: He's on a clean, clean high. Both feet up on the ground, but his head's way, way, way in the sky.
Imagine Dragons
- Warriors
As a child, you would wait and watch from far away, But you always knew that you'd be the one that worked while they all play. In youth, you'd lay awake at night and scheme of all the things that you would change but it was just a dream. Here we are, don't turn away now. We are the warriors that built this town... from dust.
