- Random Thoughts
Sometimes, I just want to scream my lungs out! Why? Well, because nothing is working out as it's supposed to. I feel everything with so much intensity that it actually hurts sometimes. No, it has nothing to do with people; I'm just stupid like that and I let everything affect me, while it's not even affecting anyone or anything around me. Sometimes, I just want to scream so loud that YOU hear me!

- 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.
Tomorrow X Together
- Anti-Romantic (English translation)
Sorry I'm an anti-romantic. I want to run away, far away. My heart is already chasing after you, and burning with small embers. Sorry I'm an anti-romantic. I don't believe, anymore, in being romantic. As my entire heart burns, I'm afraid that only black ashes will remain.

- Pins and Needles
When typing, I sometimes find myself in awkward positions for some time. For example, I was sitting on my foot for quite a while and when I got up, I got the dreaded case of pins and needles. Make sure to have good posture when typing.
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.

- Coco
Hi my name is Coco, and I like to play, run, and jump. Sometimes I get so excited that I will lick your face. I love my life as a dog. My owners will give me treats, and for a good dog biscuit, I will do a flip! I will chase my tail until I get dizzy and stumble on it.

- Iran vs Israel
As I sit here in my bed, practicing my typing, the Middle-East is on the brink of collapse all over again. How lucky I am. All I can think about is how much we take for granted! Civilians of Israel are awaiting more sirens, to see if these drones and missiles will strike. They asked not for this. Who would? How lucky I am to sleep through the night. Kiss your mother and count your lucky stars.

- First quote
Hello all, this is my first quote. I wanted to ask for some advice on being able to type faster. Currently, I type at an average of about 50, I don't know what my average says right now, are there any to suggest? I can type without looking at the keyboard, so that obstacle is no more. Nevertheless when I focus on my accuracy and maneuvering my fingers to the next word I always tend to trip up and lose my rhythm. I would love to hear advice from anyone. Thank you for typing this.
Herman Melville
- Moby Dick
Nor did wild rumors of all sorts fail to exaggerate, and still the more horrify the true histories of these deadly encounters. For not only do fabulous rumors naturally grow out of the very body of all surprising terrible events,-as the smitten tree gives birth to its fungi; but, in maritime life, far more than in that of terra firma, wild rumors abound, wherever there is any adequate reality for them to cling to.

- Real Challenge for 70+ WPM
Sun rises, the insistent alarm clock rouses me from slumber. With a resolute sigh, I relinquish my comfortable bed and perform a meticulous oral ablution in the ablutionary facilities. Subsequently, I partake in a well-balanced matutinal repast to satiate my hunger pangs. And then, if the occasion warrants, apply a touch of eau de cologne to complete my pre-professional preparations, ready to engage my colleagues in a productive workday!
Bible
- 1 Cor 10:13
No temptation has overtaken you except what is common to mankind. And God is faithful; he will not let you be tempted beyond what you can bear. But when you are tempted, he will also provide a way out so that you can endure it.
Oscar Wilde
- The Importance of Being Earnest
Well, I don't like your clothes. You look perfectly ridiculous in them. Why on earth don't you go up and change? It is perfectly childish to be in deep mourning for a man who is actually staying for a whole week with you in your house as a guest. I call it grotesque.
Fernando Meirelles
- City of God (2002)
What should have been swift revenge turned into an all out war. The City of God was divided. You couldn't go from one section the other, not even to visit a relative. The cops considered anyone living in the slum a hoodlum. People got used to living in Vietnam, and more and more volunteers signed up to die.
Vivekananda
- Fearlessness
One idea comes out of all this - the condemnation of all weakness. This is a particular idea in all our teachings which I like, either in philosophy, or in religion, or in work. If you read the Vedas, you will find this word always repeated - fearlessness - fear nothing. Fear is a sign of weakness. A man must go about his duties without taking notice of the sneers and the ridicule of the world.

- Hole in the Bottom of My Brain
Now, there's coke on the nose of a bro I don't know, in a showroom of clothes that were fancily sewn, in a town that I loathe on a coast that gets stoked, on the thing made of gold in a home that I own, from a song that I wrote about likes and "hello"s, on a post on my phone of a party I throw, but I know I'm alone, no, I know I'm alone, in the hole in the bottom of my brain.

- How my day is going
Every morning, I wake up to the sound of my alarm. I leave my cozy bed and head to the bathroom to brush my teeth and freshen up my breath. Then I have a nutritious breakfast to satisfy my hunger. I dress up, apply some cologne and I'm all set to meet my colleagues at work.
Joseph Conrad
- Heart of Darkness
I went to work the next day, turning, so to speak, my back on that station. In that way only it seemed to me I could keep my hold on the redeeming facts of life. Still, one must look about sometimes; and then I saw this station, these men strolling aimlessly about in the sunshine of the yard. I asked myself sometimes what it all meant. They wandered here and there with their absurd long staves in their hands, like a lot of faithless pilgrims bewitched inside a rotten fence.
Jack Johnson
- Upside Down
But in some ways, they remain the same. And as my mind being to spread its wings, there's no stopping curiosity. I wanna turn this whole thing upside down. I'll find the things they say just can't be found. I'll share this love with everyone, we'll sing and dance to Mother Nature's songs. I don't want this feeling to go away.

- The Rust Programming Language
This book assumes that you've written code in another programming language but doesn't make any assumptions about which one. We've tried to make the material broadly accessible to those from a wide variety of programming backgrounds. We don't spend a lot of time talking about what programming is or how to think about it. If you're entirely new to programming, you would be better served by reading a book that specifically provides an introduction to programming.
