- Marriage House
My house is like my marriage. The foundation is destroyed. Everything is being patched together, the cracks in the wall are just filled in where they keep cracking with every season, the house floods when it rains, the doors are always having issues closing... my marriage is like my house. It is decorated so nicely and everyone loves my house, my kids like the house; but the foundation is destroyed and everything is patched together.
Desk Jockey
- Help Me Help You
I learned a major key to managing depression is to think about what I am grateful for. Gratitude shifts my focus from a personal vendetta to a physical belonging. It can be something small or easily overlooked. The roof overhead. The feeling in my fingertips. The clock clock sound of the keyboard. Why am I even feeling sorry for myself?
Suzanne Collins
- The Ballad of Songbirds and Snakes
"The District Twelve tribute is Lucy Gray Baird," he said into a mic. The camera swept over the crowd of gray, hungry faces in gray, shapeless clothing, seeking the tribute. It zoomed in towards a disturbance, girls drawing back from the unfortunate chosen one.
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.
Solid Snake
A strong man doesn't need to read the future. He makes his own. Find something to believe in, and find it for yourself. When you do, pass it on to the future.
Michael Moorcock
- Elric's Appearance
It is the colour of a bleached skull, his flesh; and the long hair which flows below his shoulders is milk-white. From the tapering, beautiful head stare two slanting eyes, crimson and moody, and from the loose sleeves of his yellow gown emerge two slender hands, also the colour of bone, resting on each arm of a seat which has been carved from a single, massive ruby.
Mary Shelley
- Frankenstein
When I had attained the age of seventeen my parents resolved that I should become a student at the unversity of Ingolstadt. I had hitherto attended the schools of Geneva, but my father thought it necessary for the completion of mu education that I should be made acquainted with other customs than those of my native country.
Rumaan Alam
- Children - Leave the World Behind
They had asked themselves questions when they decided to have children-do we have the money, do we have the space, do we have what it takes-but they didn't ask what the world would be when their children grew.
J.R.R. Tolkien
- Theoden - Where is the horse and rider?
Where is the horse and the rider? Where is the horn that was blowing? They have passed like rain on the mountain, like wind in the meadow. The days have gone down in the West behind the hills into shadow. How did it come to this?
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.
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.
WKWKWK
- Bangladesh
Bangladesh shares land borders with India to the west, north, and east, and Myanmar to the southeast; to the south it has a coastline along the Bay of Bengal. It is narrowly separated from Bhutan and Nepal by the Siliguri Corridor; and from China by the Indian state of Sikkim in the north. Dhaka, the capital and largest city, is the nation's political, financial and cultural centre. Chittagong, the second-largest city, is the busiest port on the Bay of Bengal. The official language is Bengali.

- scariest alien message to receive from outer space
I have been watching you since you learned to walk. I have been protecting you since you learned to talk. I have been killing for you since you learned to write.

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.
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.

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...
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.
Sakata Gintoki (Gintama)
Trying to shoulder the burden all by yourself? Don't be a stranger. Weep and ask for help. Lean on me with your runny nose. Cry when you feel like crying. Laugh when you feel like laughing. When you're tearing up with an ugly face, I'll give you a good cry with an uglier face. When you're laughing so hard your stomach hurts, I'll laugh in a louder voice. That's how it should be. It's far better to get dirty while living true to yourself, than to throw away yourself and die a clean death.
