- Linguistics
Linguistics is the study of language, but not necessarily to learn the languages themselves. It is the scientific study of language and its structure - including morphology, syntax, phonetics, and semantics.

- Bad Day?
Have you ever had a bad day before? Well, I did. Most of the times. No, it's not because of school, it's not because of anything, but more like anyone. People can get in your way so easily that they can ruin your day in a second! And not just friends can do it; your family, strangers, teachers, anyone could get in your way! But don't let that stop you! You know yourself, just keep going on with your day and be happy, pretend that nothing happened.

You have thirteen seconds before the island fucking explodes, you hot topic wannabe, and blue gumball son of a bitch. You have done nothing but destroy my life. I hope you die.

- The Tango Maureen
Say something, anything. Test one, two, three. Anything but that. This is weird. It's weird. Very weird. Fucking weird. I'm so mad that I don't know what to do. Fighting with microphones, freezing down to my bones, and to top it all off, I'm with you. Feel like going insane, got a fire in your brain, and you're thinking of drinking gasoline? As a matter of fact! Honey, I know this act: it's called the Tango Maureen.

- : The Bible and Western Culture - Kierkegaard’s Leap of Faith
The idea being that you do not turn into a Christian all at once, it is not an overnight thing, although you will be infused with God's grace all at once, being a Christian is not an event, it is a process. You gradually come to understand what the domain of your will is, and you do your best to reconcile your will with God's will to humble your arrogant tendency to judge God.

- :The Bible and Western Culture - Kierkegaarde’s Leap of Faith
We're never going to ask or answer the big questions in life. He makes a very pointed remark and I've always had it stuck in my brain, because I think it's probably true. "People that do not know how to remain silent, do not know how to talk." That's a remarkable observation.

- Don't Deny Your Inner Child
I must try to get along with everyone, no matter how stupid they might be, or how asinine their opinions are. I must learn to love everyone, even people who are so obviously inferior to me that they make my flesh crawl. I will get to know these people and I will cook them a ravioli dinner from a can I found in Mexico City.

- Don't Deny Your Inner Child
Tomorrow I will begin bathing. This is the start of a six part plan which will take me into the next century. In the coming years, I will stop eating with my hands. I will let the dog out of the closet for some fresh air. I will put away the rubber mask, the cub-scout uniform, and yes, finally, even the cauliflower.

- What Difference Does It Make?
So, what difference does it make? It makes none, but now you have gone. And you must be looking very old tonight. The devil will find work for idle hands to do. I stole and I lied, why? Because you asked me to, but now you make me feel so ashamed.

Recently I left a relationship with a religious woman. I'll never be accepted for who I am, but to modify myself to what's ideal for her and her cult, I bailed. Lesson to learn from my experience is; to know your worth, Kings and Queens.

Racism against white people is usually brought up only as an attempt to shut down conversations about racism, as a "gotcha." In reality, white people can be victims of racism and white supremacy, though they are far from being the primary victims. White supremacists believe in a racial hierarchy that includes subdividing white people. This means they'll often consider certain subgroups of white people, such as Slavic people, inferior to themselves. They consider themselves Aryan or Nordic.

You have a problem with click. You believe that you are special, that somehow the rules do not apply to you. If you choose to click, find yourself another job. You believe that you are special. Obviously, you are mistaken. You believe that this company is one of the top software companies in the world. Obviously, you are mistaken.

I'd love to be in love with you enough to write a love song, I need to feel needed and I need it more than I let on. I'll be home, just thinking about it, maybe call like I used to. But I'll just stay alone, because alone is safer than with you.

I wonder, sometimes, if happiness really is achievable. No, not the flitting happiness you experience only in moments. What I'm referring to is an unwavering happiness that endures, radiating warmth that embraces you like a hug... Personally, I don't think that perpetual happiness is achievable. I see happiness more as a wave that will always wash up the sand, but will also retreat each time. But, I still wonder...

I was born with glass bones and paper skin. Every morning I break my legs, and every afternoon I break my arms. At night, I lie awake in agony until my heart attacks put me to sleep.

Today I have very strong feelings. Today I feel Qatari. Today I feel Arab. Today I feel African. Today I feel gay. Today I feel disabled. Today I feel a migrant worker. I feel like them because I know what it feels like to be discriminated, to be bullied as a foreigner in a country. At school I was bullied because I had red hair and freckles.

- 12 Rules for Life - Rule One
So, attend carefully to your posture. Quit drooping and hunching around. Speak your mind. Put your desires forward, as if you had a right to them - at least the same right as others. Walk tall and gaze forthrightly ahead. Dare to be dangerous. Encourage the serotonin to flow plentifully through the neural pathways desperate for its calming influence.
Dante Alighieri
- The Divine Comedy: Bertrand de Born
Living soul in this abyss, see what a sentence has been passed upon me, and search all Hell for one to equal this! When you return to the world, remember me: it was I who set the young king on to mutiny, son against father, father against son. And since I parted those who should be one, in duty and in love, I bear my brain divided from its source within this trunk; and walk here where my evil turns to pain, an eye for an eye to all eternity: thus is the law of Hell observed in me.

- The Divine Comedy: Friar Alberigo in translator notes
In 1284 Alberigo's brother Manfred struck him in the course of an argument. He pretended to let it pass, but in 1285 he invited Manfred and his son to a banquet and had them murdered. The signal to the assassins was the words: "Bring in the fruit." "Friar Alberigo's bad fruit," became a proverbial saying.
