Henry Rollins
- Liar pt. 3
I'll hide behind a smile and understanding eyes. And, I'll tell you things that you already know, so you can say, "I really identify with you, so much!" And all the time that you're needing me, is just the time that I'm bleeding you, don't you get it, yet? I'll come to you like an affliction, and I'll leave you like an addiction. You'll never forget me!
Henry Rollins
- Liar pt. 2
Because everything I say is everything you've ever wanted to hear, so you drop all your defenses and you drop all your fears, and you trust me completely. I'm perfect... in every way. 'Cause I make you feel so strong and so powerful inside, you feel so lucky. But your ego obscures reality and you never bother to wonder why things are going so well. You want to know why? 'Cause I'm a liar. Yeah I'm a liar.
Henry Rollins
- Liar
You think you're gonna live your life alone, in darkness and seclusion. Yeah, I know. You've been out there, tried to mix with those animals, and it just left you full of humiliated confusion. So you stagger back home and wait for nothing. But the solitary refinement of your room spits you back out onto the street, and now you're desperate and in need of human contact. And then, you meet me, and your whole world changes...
Mel Brooks
- When will then be now?
What the hell am I looking at? When does this happen in the movie? Now. You're looking at now, sir. Everything that happens now, is happening now. What happened to then? We passed then. When? Just now. We're at now now. Go back to then. When? Now. Now? Now. I can't. Why? We missed it. When? Just now. When will then be now? Soon.
Beyoncé
- Irreplaceable
In the closet, that's my stuff, yes, if I bought it please don't touch. And keep talking that mess, that's fine, but could you walk and talk at the same time? And it's my name that's on that Jag, so remove your bags, let me call you a cab. Standing in the front yard telling me, how I'm such a fool, talking 'bout I'll never ever find a man like you... You got me twisted.
Samantha Francine
- Always look them in the eye
As a child, I grew up with a single white father who was originally from Chicago. He taught us from a young age that things were going to be different for us just because of the color of our skin. One of the things he used to remind us of constantly was that 'no matter the threat, always look them in the eye so they have to acknowledge you're human.'
The Doors
- The Soft Parade
All our lives we sweat and save, building for a shallow grave. "Must be something else," we say, somehow to defend this place. Everything must be this way. The Soft Parade has now begun. Listen to the engines hum. People out to have some fun. A cobra on my left, a leopard on my right. The deer woman in a silk dress, girls with beads around their necks, kiss the hunter of the green vest, who has wrestled before with lions in the night.
Jim Morrison
- A Feast of Friends
They are waiting to take us into The Severed Garden. Do you know how pale and wanton thrillful comes death on a strange hour? Unannounced, unplanned for, like a scaring over-friendly guest you've brought to bed. Death makes angels of us all and gives us wings where we had shoulders smooth as raven's claws.
Michelle Obama
- Your Story Matters
Please know that your story matters. Your ideas matter. Your experiences matter. Your vision for what our world can and should be matters. So, don't ever, ever let anyone tell you that you're too angry, or that you should keep your mouth shut. There will always be those who want to keep you silent, to have you be seen but not heard, or maybe they don't even want to see you at all. But those people don't know your story, and if you listen to them, then nothing will ever change.
