- 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.
Gordon Lightfoot
- If You Could Read My Mind
If you could read my mind, love, what a tale my thoughts could tell! Just like an old time movie 'bout a ghost from a wishing well in a castle dark or a fortress strong with chains upon my feet. You know that ghost is me. And I will never be set free as long as I'm a ghost, you can't see. If I could read your mind, love, what a tale your thoughts could tell! Just like a paperback novel, the kind the drugstore sells. When you reach the part where the heartaches come the hero would be me.

- = (Equal Sign)
Though I try crying out until I lose my voice, it's a silent outcry. That I'm different, it's palpable. Risen to the top by playing fair, I tilt my head in confusion and hit my chest in frustration. It's such a big, wide world, and such narrow minds people have. We don't necessarily have to be the same, but why is it a sin to be different? Beyond age, beyond gender, beyond nationality. Perhaps this is homework for everyone., that the victim of prejudice is no one else but us.
Mustafa Kemal Ataturk
- Ataturk's Letter to Anzac Mothers - 1934
Those heroes that shed their blood and lost their lives... You are now lying in the soil of a friendly country. Therefore rest in peace. There is no difference between the Johnnies and the Mehmets to us where they lie side by side in this country of ours. You, the mothers, who sent their sons from far away countries, wipe away your tears. Your sons are now lying in our bosom and are in peace. After having lost their lives on this land they have become our sons as well.

Karl Marx
- Economic & Philosophic Manuscripts of 1844
The less you eat, drink, buy books, go to the theatre or to balls, or to the pub, and the less you think, love, theorize, sing, paint, fence, etc., the more you will be able to save and the greater will become your treasure which neither moth nor rust will corrupt-your capital. The less you are, the less you express your life, the more you have, the greater is your alienated life and the greater is the saving of your alienated being.
Awdhesh Singh
- 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.
Ryan La Sala
- The Honeys
This is a maze I've failed once before, yet reentered willingly; I'm determined to reach the center of it this time. But what path do I take? Do I integrate, or do I defy? Whichever path, I can't afford to be intimidated this early on. I leave the lip gloss on. Bright things in nature are often poisonous. Let that be my defense, then. Let Aspen watch, and predators prowl, and all the waiting jaws yawn wider. I will be a ruin to consume.
Lover
- Crazy Baby
White wine and sleeping pills help me get back to your arms. I think you're crazy, baby. I think you're crazy, baby. Stop sending letters. Letters always get burned. It's not like the movies they fed us on little white lies. I will see you in the next life. I think you're crazy, baby.
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.
Alexandra Bracken
- The Darkest Legacy
The scars of what had happened were still there, not glued together to try to minimize the appearance of them, but glowing with thin rivulets of gold - more beautiful for having once been broken.
Harry
- Matilda
You can let it go. You can throw a party full of everyone you know, and not invite your family, cause they never showed you love. You don't have to be sorry for leaving and growing up. You're just in time, make your tea and yours toast, you framed all your posters and dyed your clothes. You don't have to go home. Oh, there's a long way to go...
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.
Ali ibn Abi Talib
- Meaning of Life
Life consists of two days, one for you one against you. So when it's for you don't be proud or reckless, and when it's against you be patient, for both days are test for you. The best deed of a great man is to forgive and forget. A graceful refusal is better than a lengthy promise.

- You Can Always Edit
So many of these quotes either get downvoted or have terribly rude comments about how that particular quote has terrible grammar, syntax, spelling, or punctuation. Even if that is true, commenting doesn't really do anything, and downvoting will get it removed. To me, this is not usually necessary, especially if the quote is otherwise good or inspiring. My solution is, of course, the edit button. With a few keystrokes, you (yes, you) can edit the quote to make it good!

- 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.

- Close The Window
I hate commercials! I just saw an advertisement that said it wanted to personalize its offerings for me. I'm not going to buy or download anything, anyway, so why bother? It's just a waste of time. Then I must wait 30 seconds (sometimes 45 seconds), until it's over. If there is a skip feature, I will find it. There are times that it's easier to answer the survey commercials with "none of the above" makes it go away faster. If an unexpected commercial comes on, I usually just close the window.
