- Mass Effect 3
Because you still have hope that this war will end with your honor intact. Stand in the ashes of a trillion dead souls and ask the ghosts if honor matters. The silence is your answer.

- Childhood vs Adulthood
I heard some people debating whether childhood or adulthood is better. Childhood has less worries but adulthood has more freedom. In adulthood you learn to enjoy the small things, but sometimes it's because that's all you have.

- What's the Evolutionary Benefit of Appreciating Beauty?
One thing that separates humans from animals is our ability to appreciate beauty. You can theoretically train a monkey to physically do anything a human can, but a chimp can't look at a sunset or a painting and recognize its beauty. Is there some evolutionary benefit to this? I read once it could be remnants of our desire to be in open spaces so that we can better see approaching danger. Or maybe our creator was feeling boastful and wanted us to admire his work.

- Remember Me
I heard the other day that you will be completely forgotten in only three generations. What can I do to leave a record of myself that is more than my name eroding from stone in a cemetery? How can I create something more enduring than writing "I was here" on a wall? I think it's already too late for me to hold a world record at the olympics or establish democracy and independence from the British. All I can do is try to remember my grandmother until I'm gone too.

- Love Actually
It seems to me that love is everywhere. Often it's not particularly dignified or newsworthy, but it's always there - fathers and sons, mothers and daughters, husbands and wives, boyfriends, girlfriends, old friends. When the planes hit the Twin Towers, as far as I know, none of the phone calls from the people on board were messages of hate or revenge - they were all messages of love. If you look for it, I've got a sneaky feeling you'll find that love actually is all around.
Billy Joel
- New York State of Mind
Some folks like to get away and take a holiday from the neighborhood. Take a flight to Miami Beach or to Hollywood. Well, I'm taking a Greyhound on the Hudson River line. I'm in a New York state of mind.

- Childhood
Sometimes I daydream about my childhood home. I walk through the rooms in my head and remember Christmases, birthday parties, and family get togethers long past. I recall playing with my siblings and pets on the living room floor, eating homemade meals in the kitchen, and cozy nights in my bedroom. A part of me was left behind in that house, like a child's ghost roaming the halls.
