- Robin's Monologue
Don't apologize, Ruth. Screw that. The fact of the matter is, we did put in a request months ago and were denied. And then we reapplied and we were denied again. And coming here was out last-ditch effort to save our thesis. And I really... can't breathe in this thing. And maybe I should go outside and get some air, Ruth, because I'm starting to think this whole thing is a colossal mistake. I'm breaking out in a rash. My boobs hurt. And I'll tell you the truth, Anthony. May I call you Anthony?

- Human vs Animals
The only thing humans have different from animals is the ability to have thoughts. It's the hardest boon or a bane question. All animals need to do is take care of their physical health but for humans, we need to take care of our mental health as well. Needlessly, a crazy ability that can make one a champion or a depressed narcissist. Good luck!
Close to Me Red Velvet Remix
I want you, you're just a boring hypocrite. This world is not fun, I feel stuffy without you. You want me, until the reason we part. We're kidding, I don't understand. Look at me, look at me inside you. Come closer, we're always the same. Beyond this heart, within reach. On the other side of the road. Near between us. Now, if it's not you. Oh. It's just me. Beyond this heart, within reach.
Joseph Conrad
- Under Western Eyes
Putting aside Samuel Pepys, who has forced in this way the door of immortality, innumerable people, criminals, saints, philosophers, young girls, statesmen, and simple imbeciles, have kept self-revealing records from vanity no doubt, but also from other more inscrutable motives. There must be a wonderful soothing power in mere words since so many men have used them for self-communion.

- 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.

An idiot admires complexity; a genius admires simplicity. A physicist tries to make it simple. An idiot the more complicated you make it, the more he will admire you. If you make something so clusterfuck, he can't understand it, he will think you're god . Because you made it so complicated, no one can understand it. That's how they write academic journals.

- Quotes
I'm increasingly annoyed with the vapidity of the quotes on this forum. It seems as though all the other people practicing their typing are teenage boys into sci-fi adventure stories or fantasy. Either that, or people who believe in sappy, self-help platitudes. What about using this opportunity to face the truth - that life is brutal and full of suffering?
Bible
- Bible - Psalm 56:10-11 Psalm 53:1
10^ In God, whose word I praise, in the LORD, whose word I praise, 11^ in God I trust; I shall not be afraid. What can man do to me? 53:1^ The fool says in his heart, "There is no god." They are corrupt, doing abominable iniquity; there is none who does good.
Maharana Pratap

- Perfection
Perfection is the lowest standard we can have. Whenever we go for perfection it leads to procrastination. But if we go for progress, it makes us happy. So, just take action and when you see progress that will make you happy, which will lead to perfection.
My Psych Class
- Genie
There is a critical period for children to develop language. Although people can still learn a language after this period, they will never master it. Genie was a child who's mother was blind and father a schizophrenic. She was locked in a closet until she was thirteen, and had no language knowledge. Once she was rescued she was taught English, but it was similar to an adult learning their second language. Even after extensive training she will never speak with ease.

- Myths are Real, Reality is a Myth
The "eye for eye" policy satisfies the logical mind, but this policy is also equally impractical. 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.
Oscar WIlde
- The Importance of Being Earnest
Well, I must say, Algernon, that I think it is high time that Mr. Bunbury made up his mind whether he was going to live or to die. This shilly-shallying with the question is absurd. Nor do I in any way approve of the modern sympathy with invalids. I consider it morbid. Illness of any kind is hardly a thing to be encouraged in others. Health is the primary duty of life.

- The World is an Unfair Place
The world is an unfair place. Anyone who says it isn't, is lying. Anyone who says it is, is stating the obvious. Anyone who says it should be made fair, is shouting into the void. And anyone who says it shouldn't be fair, probably enjoys torturing small animals. You get what you get, of this no more can be said.

- the field
Before them was the field. Over the last few months the grass had grown. It was maybe four or five inches high, lush and green. Phaeton imagined they saw a depression in the grass. Only two or so feet from where they were sitting. About the shape and size of a young adult. When they blinked it was gone. Just the shadow of a cloud passing.
Joseph Conrad
- The Secret Agent
He was a force. His thoughts caressed the images of ruin and destruction. He walked frail, insignificant, shabby, miserable - and terrible in the simplicity of his idea calling madness and despair to the regeneration of the world. Nobody looked at him. He passed on unsuspected and deadly, like a pest in the street full of men.

- Excerpt from "A Grandchild's Guide to Using Grandpa's Computer"
If a packet hits a pocket on a socket on a port, and the bus is interrupted as a very last resort, and the address of the memory makes your floppy disk abort, then the socket packet pocket has an error to report! If your cursor finds a menu item followed by a dash, and the double-clicking icon puts your window in the trash, and your data is corrupted 'cause the index doesn't hash, then your situation's hopeless and your system's gonna crash!

- 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.
Vladimir Nabokov
- Lolita
Speaking of sharp turns: we almost ran over a meddlesome suburban dog (one of those that lie in wait for cars) as we swerved into Lawn Street. A little further, the Haze house, a white-framed horror, appeared, looking dingy and old, more gray than white-the kind of place you know will have a rubber tube affixed to the tub faucet instead of a shower.

- Glove80
I just got myself an early birthday present, a new life partner, the Glove80. I'm currently on my third day of the adjustment period from a normal, staggered keyboard (I was on a Langtu GK65) to this new columnar layout. I'm proud to say that I've gotten up to 50-70% of my regular typing speed through doing focused practice on this site at least 15 minutes a day. I'm loving the thumb clusters, btw. Why the heck aren't these more commonplace?! Our thumbs are strong, let it do work!
