- Love is in the air
Love can be found here, there, anywhere. Love is the best drug you can get, until they break your little heart. Love where to start, it's a great thing to have in life, but it can be the worse. Love, love, love.
Bram Stoker
- Dracula
There was hope in his words, and comfort; and they made for resignation. Mina and I both felt so, and simultaneously we each took one of the old man's hands and bent over and kissed it. Then without a word we all knelt down together, and, all holding hands, swore to be true to each other. We men pledged ourselves to raise the veil of sorrow from the head of her whom, each in his own way, we loved; and we prayed for help and guidance in the terrible task which lay before us.
Nathaniel Ford
- Maturity
Maturity is a grand thing to have early on in life, but it is not easily gained. While the prosperous and content family may bear a happy, healthy, and overall well-functioning member of society, the less perfect household raises a hardened, disciplined individual earlier on. I know many who relate to the latter, having involuntarily sacrificed childhood years for the appreciation of work and responsibility that is maturity.
Radiohead
- Anyone Can Pay Guitar - Chorus
And if the world does turn and if London burns I'll be standing on the beach with my guitar. I want to be in a band when I get to heaven. Anyone can play guitar and they won't be a nothing anymore.
Dorothy Tse
- Owlish
He went to embrace the Maria in the wedding dress, feeling like an awkward child. He stared desperately into her eyes, as though expecting them to be transparent, allowing him to see into that Maria's body to the real Maria hiding inside it. But all he could see was a reflection of the world, which, in a way that he couldn't understand, seemed to have sealed shut a vitally important door (a door that cannot be opened will always seem the most vitally important of doors).

- Hormones
I attacked my pesky hormones as I'd attacked all my other problems - head on and with little thought to societal expectations or conventional Christian values.

The Bored College Student.
- The Illusion Of Growing Up.
I remember when I was a little girl. The days where being your personal best was just making sure you had a smile. Nobody yelling at you to do certain tasks but to brave the world with your art supplies, your only monsters were the ones under your bed. Those monsters now fight us mentally and physically. We were told the world was your oyster, but the truth being that we are all just as claustrophobic as a clam. We were never destined to be the pearl- we were destined to protect the pearls.
Transformers Cybertron ep. Guardian
- Vector Prime's Parting Speech
I alone have stood outside the reach of time, watching as the millennium marched past. I have seen oceans rise, continents shift and mountains crumble. I have seen brother rise against brother, and the decimation it leaves behind. And always the great cycle continues, as new life rises from the ashes. Now I too have become part of the cycle, starting a new life with purpose and meaning, and though that life might end, I know that in the hearts of these friends I have made, I shall live forever.

- Rabbi Yisrael Moshe Hazzan: The Man and His Works
Judaism is not a static ideal to be maintained by erecting walls that would prevent any meaningful interaction with the general cultural environment. There is a perennial need of interpretation and adaptation of the eternal values of Israel in order to meet the specific conditions of every historical situation... It is the task of the Jewish sage, in particular, to interpret the key cultural symbols of his own times in light of this mental language, on the one hand, and the constitutive values.
Laura Ingalls Wilder
- On the Banks of Plum Creek
Pa had to walk three hundred miles before he found a job. Now he was working in the wheat-fields and getting a dollar a day. He sent Ma five dollars and kept three for new boots. Crops were good where he was, and if Ma and the girls were making out all right, he would stay there as long as the work lasted. They missed him and wanted him to come home. But he was safe and already had new boots. They were very happy that day.
Miracle Musical
- Stranded Lullaby
I'd like to know why you are all alone while I'm lost at sea. Maybe we'll be there when you want. You're unsure if I am a loose end or strand that waits for you to mend or understand.

- Staring Competition
I might be tied to an operating table in a spaceship presumably hurtling through outer space faster than the speed of light. I might be completely at their mercy. But there's no way I'm complying with my captors' commands, even if it means I'm stuck in the universe's most petty staring competition with an alien of a species that, for all I know never blinks.
Maya Angelou
Whenever I begin to question whether God exists, I look up to the sky and surely there, right there, between the sun and the moon, stands my grandmother, singing a long meter hymn, a song somewhere between a moan and a lullaby and I know faith is the evidence of things unseen.
Mihael Radjail
- The Sweetest Revenge
I know it will be hard. Trust me, I've been there. But I hope in the future, you'll be so secure in yourself that you'll realize the sweetest revenge of all is the one you don't seek out.

- Outlandish Alien Encounters
As they played, they suddenly heard a curious sound like an engine coming from the orchard beyond their garden, and when they looked they could see a tiny biplane with a wingspan of just 12 inches come into view. The strange little plane landed, almost knocking down a dustbin in the process, and the two siblings could see a minuscule little man in the cockpit of the plane. This odd little gnome-like creature then waved at them before taking off into the air again and flying off out of sight.
H. H. Munro (Saki)
- Reginald at the Carlton
Their eldest son was such a disappointment to them; they wanted him to be a linguist and spent no end of money having him taught to speak - oh, dozens of languages! - and then he became a Trappist monk. And the youngest, who was intended for the American marriage market, has developed political tendencies, and writes pamphlets about the housing of the poor.

Were you sent by someone who wanted me dead? Did you sleep with a gun underneath our bed? Were you writing a book? Were you a sleeper cell spy? In fifty years, will all this be declassified?

- Tiktok Ban
In a surprising twist that seems ripped from a political comedy sketch, former President Trump is poised to lift the TikTok ban, claiming it's time to "bring back the dances." It seems he finally realized that without TikTok, how else would he keep track of his supporters' latest moves,both literally and figuratively? Forget foreign influence; the real concern was missing out on viral trends!
