Victor Hugo
- Javert's Suicide
I am reaching but I fall, and the stars are black and cold. As I stare into the void, of a world that cannot hold. I'll escape now from that world; from the world of Jean Valjean. There is nowhere I can turn. There is no way to go on...
Mihael Radjail
- Try to achieve something greater
You don't need to be famous. You don't need to be rich. You just need to help at least one person in your life, even if it is you, yourself. No one says it's going to be easy because it's definitely hard. But you can try until you can't.
TXT (TOMORROW X TOGETHER)
- Skipping Stones
We love throwing irregular stones into the calm river. Even though we know it's a painful time period, we grab another stone. I'm curious, what feelings are you going through when you throw yourself?
Inhaler
- Totally
If I could, I would take full control of it all. You know you don't even mean that much, so why can't I just let go? Tell me why? Maybe I'll never know.

- Myths are Real, Reality is a Myth
The 'eye for eye' policy satisfies the logical mind but this policy is also equally impracticable. you may follow this policy against a person who is weaker than you. However, if the person is more powerful than you- like your boss, parents, government, the police-it would be disastrous to follow this policy as it may lead to your total ruin.
Sam Reich
- Get Ready for a Game Changer
The only way to learn is by playing. The only way to win is by learning. And the only way to begin is by beginning. So, without further ado, let's begin.
Neil Gaiman
- Yvaine's Monologue- Stardust
You know when I said I knew little about love? That wasn't true. I know a lot about love. I've seen it, I've seen centuries and centuries of it. It's the only thing that made watching your world bearable. All the wars, pain, lies, and hate, made me want to turn away and never look down again. But to see the way that mankind loves! I mean, you could search the furthest reaches of the universe and never find anything more beautiful.

- Ponzi Scheme of life
Everyone talks their book, and everyone searches for the answers they want. There can be no lies in this system, because the desired answer is unquestionable, and the undesired answer requires further investigation. And so the Ponzi Scheme of life goes on, as we pass our desired answers down to the next generation of suckers.

Bram Stoker
- Dracula -- Jonathan Harker's Journal
To one thing I have made up my mind. If we find out that Mina must be a vampire in the end, then she shall not go into that unknown and terrible land alone. I suppose it is thus that in old times one vampire meant many. Just as their hideous bodies could only rest in sacred earth, so the holiest love was the recruiting sergeant for their ghastly ranks.
Kacey Musgraves
- Things I Would Miss From The Other Side
Dinner with friends in cities where none of us live. The face that somebody makes when you give them a gift. Every once in a while when I wake up early without trying and catch a sunrise.
Thomas Mann
- Death in Venice
An offensive sultriness lay over the streets. The air was so heavy that the smells pouring out of homes, stores, and eating houses became mixed with oil, vapors, clouds of perfume, and still other odors-and these would not blow away, but hung in layers. Cigarette smoke remained suspended, disappearing very slowly.
Our Flag Means Death
What we're about to do will be perilous! Very perilous! Some of us won't be coming back. Others may be wounded. Still others may come back looking totally fine... but in reality, be mentally devastated by what they've witnessed.
Vampire Weekend
- Pravda
They always ask me about pravda. It's just the Russian word for truth. Your consciousness is not my problem. Cause when I come home, it won't be home to you.

- sigma.
The real sigma is me. Why does nobody understand me? I thought that I had told everyone I saved Ohio from Baby Gronk. Even the level 10 gyatts watched me! I don't get it! I drank all the Grimace Shakes and got buffed, I saved Ohio with my griddying.
Jane Austen
- Northanger Abbey...Catherine's thoughts
Little as Catherine was in the habit of judging for herself, and unfixed as were her general notions of what men ought to be, she could not entirely repress a doubt, while she bore with the effusions of his endless conceit, of his being altogether completely agreeable...
Big Sis Prinny
- Disgaea: Hour of Darkness
But if we are destined to part again, then wouldn't it be better to watch from afar and leave without a single word? He has suffered enough already... my silence is how I show my love.
Richard Powers
- The Overstory
The comic made him a superhero, with the power to make things spring up from the dirt. It said nothing about the philanthropist with a shrewd sense of property, the tramp who'd die owning twelve hundred acres of the richest land in the country. She always thought he was just myth. She must still discover that myths are basic truths twisted into mnemonics, instructions posted from the past, memories waiting to become predictions.
Some philosopher
- Who am I?
I am not who you think I am. I am not who I think I am. I am who I think you think I am. And this part is typed because I have to make it longer to submit.
The Sibley Field Guide to Birds of Western North America
- Horned Lark
Common in expansive open areas with barren or only sparsely vegetated ground such as beaches, plowed fields, and edges of airport runways. Usually in flocks of up to hundreds, often mixed with longspurs or Snow Bunting. Feeds on seeds and insects gleaned from low vegetation or the ground. Size and color reminiscent of sparrows; note short-legged crouching posture, relatively brown plumage, bold face pattern with dark mask, and dark breast-band. In flight, note long wings and short square tail.
