By the time of its mature phase.

- Women of the eclipse - The Last Wish
And that's just how it was with the girls who were born after the eclipse. Their outright insane tendency to cruelty, aggression, sudden bursts of anger and an unbridled temperament, were noted.' 'You can say that about any woman,' sneered Geralt. 'What are you drivelling on about? You're asking me how many mutants I've killed. Why aren't you interested in how many I've extricated from spells, freed from curses? I, a witcher despised by you. And what have you done, you mighty magicians?'.
Miracle Musical
- Stranded Lullaby
There's a still tension in the swell of dreamt debris afloat amidst the waves, and then dispel. Aimless thoughts and papers blown around. A million moments meant remembered rest in deep dark sound.

- The Gift of Happiness
Dawkins proposed that altruism exists to further the organism's genes. On one hand, that can be framed to view humankind as the most selfish of beings. However, is it not beautiful that a person can get the utmost joy from another's happiness? Is it not beautiful that the most effective way of passing on these genes is through altruism and the happiness of others?Sometimes we forget our beauty.

- "A Thin Veil" Lestat de Lioncourt
Know only this, mon cher: you are the only being I trust, and whom I love, above and beyond myself. All my love belongs to you. You are its keeper. A veil will now forever separate our union. But it is a thin veil, and I'm always on the other side, face pressed up against your longing.

They say you never forget your first kiss, but I've forgotten mine. The moment our lips touched, Sarah, everything in our pasts became irrelevant, insignificant.

The universe is all of space and time and their contents. It comprises all of existence, any fundamental interaction, physical process and physical constant, and therefore all forms of matter and energy, and the structures.
Your Lie in April
- Kaori Miyazono
By exchanging notes... your souls were connected and your hearts overlapping. It's a conversation through instruments. A miracle that creates harmony. At that moment, music transcends words.
The Báb
- Selections from the Writings of The Báb
Oh my God, oh my Lord, oh my Master! I beg Thee to forgive me for seeking any pleasure save Thy love, or any comfort except Thy nearness, or any delight besides Thy good-pleasure, or any existence other than communion with Thee.

- The Human Spirit
To feel sorry for one's self or to inflict that feeling upon someone else may be the most disgusting thing in all of humanity. For even if whatever the objective measure may be true, the human spirit has proven itself to be indomitable.
Rou Reynolds
Within mostly the recent two centuries, we as a human species have with increasing speed maneuvered ourselves into what seems like a socioeconomic cul-de-sac as we have built lots of aspects of everyday life around the wrong incentives and thereby made them worse.
Myself
- "I'm a deep thinker!"
I despise people that go on and on about how they are such "deep thinkers." Nine times out of ten, those same people are the ones that only engage in only the most surface level philosophy. They only want to hear themselves talk and sound so important to whoever they're trying to talk to. They don't want to engage or exchange ideas - they just want whoever is around them to gawk and grovel at how intelligent they sound.

- Excerpt from The Pearl
It is not good to want a thing too much. It sometimes drives the luck away. You must want it just enough, and you must be very tactful with Gods or the gods.

- Would That I
True that I saw her hair like the branch of a tree, a willow dancing on air before covering me. Under cotton and calicoes, over canopy dapple long ago. True that love in withdrawal was the weeping of me, that the sound of the saw must be known by the tree. Must be felled for to fight the cold, I fretted fire but that was long ago.
Roald Dahl
- Lamb to the Slaughter
The violence of the crash, the noise, the small table overturning, helped bring her out of the shock. She came out slowly, feeling cold and surprised, and she stood for a while blinking at the body, still holding the ridiculous piece of meat tight with both hands. All right, she told herself. So I've killed him.

- Lestat -- Interview With the Vampire (2022)
This primitive country has picked you clean. It has shackled you in permanent exile. Every room you enter, every hat you're forced to wear - the stern landlord, the deferential businessman, the loyal son - all these roles you conform to, and non of them your true nature! What rage you must feel as you choke on your sorrow.
Les Miserables
- Little Fall of Rain
The rain that brings you here is heaven blessed. The skies begin to clear, and I'm at rest; a breath away from where you are. I've come home from so far. So don't you fret monsieur Marius, I don't feel any pain. A little fall of rain can hardly hurt me now. You're here, that's all I need to know. You will keep me safe, and you will keep me close. And rain will make the flowers grow.
