Down the well worn path from monotone to colorful, walk your way down to either devastating or wonderful. The sweetest melody to rouse each and every bird. In no corner of the park was her melody unheard.

- Hot Button Issue - Book Quote
His staff surround him, people I've worked with, people I thought I liked. They fidget, clearly uncomfortable. Their gazes shift from the senator to the police and the protesters growing more unruly by that moment. But they just stand there. They do nothing to help. And that's when it hits me. I'm just like them. Frozen. Afaird... And even though I'm here, I hid in the shadows. I have no sign. I have no voice. I'm still complicit. Not anymore.

I have to believe that what we do in our worst moments won't make us monsters. I have to believe that we are more than those moments. I have to believe that.

You know its leather when we ride wood grain and raw hide. Doing what we do, watching screens getting high Girl, you keep it so fly with your sweet honeybuns You was there when the money was gone You'll be there when the money comes.

- Girl Song
Waking up to hardly recognizing my own face. Just a stranger in the mirror, thinking "Oh, what a shame, didn't think she'd look this way." Don't look no different to how I looked yesterday. All I want to do is find the words to make it up to you. Making all the same mistakes, I guess there's still a lot to prove. And there's something I can't say in an ordinary way. Day like no other, and just another bad day.

A breeze in the air, some cloth in your hand. Pink petals drifting to the sound of her band. The sound of love strikes just like your friend said, so you search for the love that rings in your head.
Mikhail Bulgakov
- The Master and Margarita: 32 Forgiveness and Eternal Refuge
Oh gods! Yea gods of mine! How sad the earth at night. How strange the swamp mists. He knows it who has wandered astray in those mists, who has suffered greatly before dying, who has walked the earth carrying an unbearable burden. The weary one knows, and he leaves the earth's mists, swamps, and rivers without regret. He readily gives himself into the hands of death, knowing that it alone can bring him peace.
Michael Parenti
- Democracy for the Few
The desire to "make it," even at the expense of others, is not merely a wrong-headed attitude but a reflection of the material conditions of capitalist society, wherein no one is ever really economically secure except the superrich.
Eiichiro Oda
- One piece-Donquixote Doflamingo
Kids who have never seen peace and kids who have never seen war have different values! Those who stand at the top determine what's wrong and what's right! This very place is a neutral ground! Justice will prevail you say, of course it will.

- Anxiety
What's insane to me is how often people shrug off anxiety symptoms. For example, when someone is so anxious that they're throwing up and shaking, somehow that appropriate advice is, "Rise above it! Take deep breaths!" If someone is having symptoms to the point that daily life becomes painful, why is it acceptable to shrug and act as if that person is weak? Telling someone with anxiety to just "calm down" is like telling someone with a broken leg to "walk it off."

- Persistence
Do not strive to be one of great talents; strive to be one of mediocre talents, but with unrivaled persistence. Most of history's greatest were actually just history's most persistent.

- To Beirut
To Beirut. From my heart salutations to Beirut. And kisses to the sea and the houses. To a rock that looks like an old sailor's face. She is a wine made of people's spirit. From people's sweat she's bread and Jasmine. So how did her taste turn into the taste of fire and smoke?
Kanye West (Sane)
- Heard Em Say
They say people in your life are seasons and anything that happen is for a reason. And fellas gun clapping and keep to squeezing and Gram keep praying and keep believing in Jesus, and one day that you see him 'til then walk in his footsteps and try to be him, the devil is alive I feel him breathing.
Walt Whitman
- When I head the learn'd Astronomer
When I heard the learn'd astronomer. When the proofs, the figures, were ranged in columns before me. When I was shown the charts and diagrams, to add, divide, and measure them. When I sitting heard the astronomer where he lectured with much applause in the lecture row. How soon unaccountable I became tired and sick, till rising and gliding out I wander'd off by myself, in the mystical moist night-air, and from time to time, looked up in perfect silence at the stars.
The Vampire Diaries
Now that I have your attention, listen up. You do not come into my town, threaten people I care about. Going after Elena? Bad move. You leave her alone or I'll rip you to bits, because I do believe in killing the messenger. And you know why? Because it sends a message.
Alethea Faust
- By Your Side
Trauma is a part of life. No matter how we guard ourselves against it, we all will suffer through pain and hardship. But the ones who stay by your side through the difficulties will be the ones who make that weight easier to bear.

- Don't Eat Me - Chap. 1
This whole thing started and finished with her. She was in a crate. A compact coconut wood coffin with narrow slits for air. She'd screamed over and over to no avail. She'd tried to make sense of it. She'd counted the unblinking eyes. Nineteen of them. One too many or one too few, but nineteen by every reckoning. And even though there was no light beneath the thick tarpaulin those eyes glowed deep yellow like dying stars.
Thomas Jefferson
- Happiness
I predict future happiness for Americans, if they can prevent the government from wasting the labors of the people under the pretense of taking care of them.
Rick Riordan
- Prophecy of Seven
Seven heroes shall answer the call, to storm or fire, the world must fall. An oath to keep with the final breath, as foes bear arms to the Doors of Death. Wisdoms daughter walks alone, the mark of Athena burns through Rome. Twins snuff out the angels breath, who holds the key to endless death. Giants' bane stands gold and pale, won through pain of a woven jail.
