- Hey Nana
Hey Nana, the midsummer flowers are blooming along the Tama River again this year. We're all waiting for you in apartment 707. I had matching yukata made for us too.
Shion Miura
- The Great Passage
Words and the human heart that creates them are absolutely free, with no connection to the powers that be. And that's as it should be. A ship to enable all people to travel freely across the sea of words - we must continue our efforts to make sure The Great Passage is just that.

- MLK speech section
Now is the time to make real the promises of democracy. Now is the time to rise from the dark and desolate valley of segregation to the sunlit path of racial justice. Now is the time to lift our nation from the quick sands of racial injustice to the solid rock of brotherhood. Now is the time to make justice a reality for all of God's children.
Kobo Abe
- The Woman in the Dunes
Suddenly a sorrow the color of dawn welled up in him. They might as well lick each other's wounds. But they would lick forever, and the wounds would never heal, and in the end their tongues would be worn away. "I didn't understand. But life isn't something one can understand, I suppose. There are all kinds of life, and sometimes the other side of the hill looks greener. What's hardest for me is not knowing what living like this will ever come to."
Jeff Winger
- The Ben Chang Speech (pt2)
We know he smells like Band-Aids. We know he dresses like a Cuban cab driver. We know he exhibits-nay! Flaunts, proudly, obvious symptoms of over half a dozen disorders you wouldn't wish on your worst enemy's pets. We know these things about Ben Chang, and so much more than we ever wanted to know about him. Why? Because it's there. It's on the surface. What you see may be what you don't want, but it's also what you get.
Bill Gates
- Rich Neighbor
Well, Steve, I think there's more than one way of looking at it. I think it's more like we both had this rich neighbor named Xerox and I broke into his house to steal the TV set and found out that you had already stolen it.
CSB Bible
- Jeremiah 29:11
"For I know the plans I have for you" - this is the Lord's declaration - "plans for your well-being, not for disaster, to give you a future and a hope." Jeremiah 29:11.
Jeff Winger
- The Ben Chang Speech (pt 1)
What do we know about Ben Chang? We know he's nuts. We know he's dangerous. Unpredictable. Selfish. We know he uses his name to make bad puns. When he talks, he over- and under-emphasizes words seemingly at random. When he eats, he holds his fork like a murderer's knife, gnawing at its skewered payload like a deranged woodland rodent.
Kita Shunsuke
- Genius
I'm not sure what qualifies as a "genius," but I understood what they were trying to say. There happen to be people who think that someone like Atsumu was just born a talented player. But everything I do every day, from a scale of one to ten, guys like Atsumu do on a scale of one to twenty. Or it's a more effective ten. Or a denser ten. And sometimes instead of one to ten, they try things from A to Z. That's what goes through their heads.

- On Damage
Oh but we're not the same anymore. You made damage the moment you walked out the door that day. We can recover but we'll never be the same again. You know what they say about trust and what happens if you break it. Where there used to be complete trust there is now a little chunk of space where I make plans for myself. You pull something like this again and that space gets bigger. Eventually at some point there'll be nothing left between us.
Slipknot
- Pulse of the Maggots 1st Verse
I fight for the unconventional. My right, and it's unconditional. I can only be as real as I can, the disadvantage is, I never knew the plan. This isn't just a way to be a martyr. I can't walk alone any longer. I fight for the ones who can't fight. And if I lose, at least I tried!
Stephen Graham Jones
- The Only Good Indians
"You're thinking crazy," he tells himself, just to hear it out loud. He's right, though. These are the kind of wrong thoughts people have who are spending too much time alone. They start unpacking vast cosmic bullshit from gum wrappers, and then they chew it up, blow a bubble, ride that bubble up into some even stupider place.

- Pride-Kendrick Lamar
Me, I wasn't taught to share, but care. In another life, I surely was there. Me, I wasn't taught to share, but care I care, I care. Hell-raising, wheel-chasing, new worldly possessions. Flesh-making, spirit-breaking, which one would you lessen? The better part, the human heart, you love 'em or dissect 'em. Happiness or flashiness? How do you serve the question?
Broken Woman
- Love can hurt you most
He gave me an image of how happy our life could be. How our children would be adorable and would have wonderful smiles. How he would always be there to remind me that I deserve to be happy. But one day, he pulled the rug from right under me, and I crashed, hard... I don't know if I'm okay... All I know is I wished I had not let my guard down for him and let myself be hurt by love once again.
Satoshi Yagisawa
Don't be afraid to love someone. When you fall in love, I want you to fall in love all the way. Even if it ends in heartache, please don't live a lonely life without love. I've been so worried that because of what happened, you'll give up on falling in love. Love is wonderful. I don't want you to forget that. Those memories of people you love, they never disappear. They go on warming your heart as long as you live. When you get old like me, you'll understand. How about it - can you promise me?
Mahmud
- Will you get back to Home!
This life on earth is merely a test of the promise we made to the creator of all the universe. In the entire creation who were ambitious to be tested upon the trust of the Most High have been blessed to have the life of humans. On earth, the devil eludes us to become like him (a rebel) and to take all sorts of possible pleasure and to cross the limits of the one who owns the entire dominion, the one who would bring the deaths into life on the Day Of Judgement.
Bojack Horsman
- The View From Halfway Down
You're flying now, you see things much more clear than from the ground. It's all okay, or it would be... were you not now halfway down. Thrash to break from gravity. What now could slow the drop? All I'd give for toes to touch the safety back at top. But this is it, the deed is done, silence drowns the sound. Before I leaped I should've seen the view from halfway down.
Marie Lu
- Stars and Smoke
Let yourself think bravely, Winter Young. You may presume that you belong in the spotlight and I operate in a secret world, but perhaps we exist in the same place.

- Your Ideal Office Layout - lighting
If your home office has windows, position your computer at a perpendicular angle to them so the light doesn't wash out the screen. The screen itself should be brighter than the ambient lighting in the office, so you may need to turn off the overhead light and place a lamp to the left or right of the monitor. If you're working back and forth between a document and a screen, light the document using a task lamp.
