- A Beautiful Moment
In my childhood home my bedroom was on the backside of the house with the forest outside my window. We lived near the water and a new bridge was being built. One morning, a morning which is burned into my memories, I woke up to a beautiful relaxing fog, the rising sun beams cutting through the trees, my window cracked open, the sound of the boat horns in the distance below. I stayed in bed and silently soaked in the moment, comfortably in my blankets, fully taking in the grand beauty of it all.

- from "Braiding Sweetgrass"
Stories are among our most potent tools for restoring the land as well as our relationship to the land. We need to unearth the old stories that live in a place and begin to create new ones, for we are storymakers, not just storytellers. All stories are connected, new ones woven from the threads of the old.

- Success is No Accident
Famous soccer athlete, Pele who appeared to be born with plenty of natural talent, continues this quote by adding "It is hard work, perseverance, learning, studying, sacrifice and most of all, love of what you are doing."

- Comforting a Friend
If you are ever fortunate enough to be the aid of a friend in their time of need remember this: what they say while they're suffering may not be the truth. They might say awful, mean, and hurtful things. They might criticize you or someone you care about. While they mean these things, they don't mean as much as what comes after. If you are able to comfort them, what they say after they've let everything out will be one of the most honest things you've ever heard.

- You want to change the world?
You want to change the world? Pathetic! That is the funniest joke I've ever heard my whole entire life. Why don't you try changing yourself first before you even think about changing the world. It's not entirely your fault that you are like this. It's mostly because of your environment. Let's just say you see someone steal and didn't get caught, they get an advantage. So, you will also steal because you will think that it will be an advantage for you as well. Guess what? You just sinned.
Call Me By Your Name
- Is it Better to Speak or to Die
A handsome young knight is madly in love with a princess, and she too is in love with him, though she seems not to be entirely aware of it. Despite the friendship that blossoms between them, or perhaps because of that very friendship, the young knight finds himself so humbled and speechless that he is totally unable to bring up the subject of his love. Until one day he asks the princess point-blank: Is it better to speak or to die?

The horse ran past the barn fell. The old man the boat. These are examples of garden path sentences, which are grammatically correct sentences that lure their readers into an initially incorrect parse.

Coal workers' pneumoconiosis (CWP), commonly known as "black lung disease," occurs when coal dust is inhaled. Over time, continued exposure to the coal dust causes scarring in the lungs, impairing your ability to breathe. Considered an occupational lung disease, it is most common among coal miners.

- Each Day
Each day that passes by, contains its worries, and its joys. Many worries come from loss of family or friends, or being worried about if something bad could happen that day. Some joys can be making a new friend, getting a new job or potentially gaining your career you've studied for a while.

- Stay Strong in Faith
Some can push you to leave faith for the world, some can encourage you to keep going because it is God's gift. You are God's special gift, you are cherished and loved by the creator of the universe! Never give up on your faith, and never give into the things that can drag you down.

- Bullet
Gone too far, yeah, I'm gone again. It's gone on too long, tell you how it ends. I'm sitting on the edge with my two best friends. One's a bottle of pills, and one's a bottle of gin. I'm 20 stories up, yeah, up at the top. I polished off this bottle, now it's pushing me off. Asphalt to me has never looked so soft. I bet my momma found my letter, now she's calling the cops.

- The scorching black
Don't feed the scorching black, do not fuel its tempting tendencies and maybe (maybe) you'll be able to hear it slither away, its tail scratching the soil with the razor blades that grew from within. Maybe (maybe) it doesn't actually come from inside and has nothing to do with your inner machinations, its nature external. Take a breath, two, three. It doesn't work: you're boiling, and the vibrations could shatter anything at any time. Is it going to eat through you, or are you gonna fight?

- A slice of life
Sometimes things get very hard, unbearably hard, and it becomes easy to lose track of what it is you're fighting for. But then, like lightning in broad daylight - or better - as a beam of sunlight during a storm, a sequence of events puts you in a different position and allows you out of the cycle: whatever it is, do not stop moving.

- Chasing Happiness
Most of the time, these quotes say that you "just" have to stay positive, but I think that's nonsense. Science shows that people who strive for happiness, and see it as something achievable actually become more unhappy. Those who accept and embrace the negative feelings, along with a focus on improving physical, intellectual, and interpersonal skills, will achieve happiness without chasing it.

There is this kid in my math class, and he keeps asking me out. I keep rejecting him and saying I'm busy, which is half true. He needs to learn to take a hint.

- Ha!
You want to be the best?! You want recognition and accolades? You have the work ethic of a koala, and think you're going to rise to fame and notoriety based off pure skill and talent alone?! How do you think I got to where I am? I worked hard, harder than most, and when I spent all I had in honing, correcting, perfecting, and improving myself, I still had a lot to learn and a ways to go before I was even considered to be among the best. You suck at dodgeball. And You suck at life. Ha!

You leapt from crumbling bridges, watching cityscapes turn to dust. Filming helicopters crashing in the ocean from way above. Got the music in you, baby, tell me why? You've been locked in here forever and you just can't say goodbye.

- Change Your Mind - Steven Universe
I don't need you to respect me, I respect me. I don't need you to love me, I love me. But I want you to know, you could know me, if you change your mind. Change your mind.

- Beating your high score
If you want to beat your highest score, then this is the quote for you. As I will not include any "quotations" or exclamation marks! Can I even go as far as not including any question marks? I'll even not include any numbers, like 1, 2 or 3. How did you go? Did you beat it?
