Madison Beer
- Madison Beer - Reckless
I still have the letter you wrote when you told me that I was the only girl you'd ever want in your life. I guess my friends were right. Each day goes by and each night I cry. Somebody saw you with her last night. You gave me your words "Don't worry 'bout her." You might love her now, but you loved me first. Said you'd never hurt me, but here we are. Oh, you swore on every star. How could you be so reckless with my heart?
Andrew Underberg & Sam Haft
- Finale (Alastor's verse)- Hazbin Hotel
This place reeks of death, there's a chill in the air. And I barely escaped being killed by a hair. "Great Alastor, altruist, died for his friends." Sorry to disappoint, that is not where this ends. I'm hungry for freedom like never before. The constraints of my deal surely have a backdoor. Once I figure out how to unclip my wings. Guess who will be pulling all the strings?

- Dial drunk
"Son, why do you do this to yourself?" And I said, I ain't proud of all the punches that I've thrown in the name of someone I no longer know, for the shame of being young, drunk and alone. Traffic lights and a transmitter radio. I don't like that when they threw me in the car, I gave your name as my emergency phone call, honey it rang and rang even the cops thought you were wrong for hanging up. I dial drunk, I'll die a drunk, I'd die for you.
Jane Seymour
- SIX the Musical: Heart of Stone - Jane Seymour
You can build me up, you can tear me down. You can try, but I'm unbreakable. You can do your best, but I'll stand the test. You'll find that I'm unshakeable. When the fire's burnt. When the wind has blown. When the water's dried, you still find stone. My heart of stone.

- Antipathy World
There's no flower in this world more beautiful than an artificial one. That's because everything is manufactured from lies. The rain of despair pelts my umbrella and dampens my bangs and the hidden side of my heart. Oh, it's all so troublesome. Before I knew it, the words had already withered. The fruit of the truth is ripening within me painting lies upon the mirror's reflection, a "makeup" of the loss of oneself. Let's play a game where we count all the riddles.
Ursula K. Le Guin
- Very Far Away From Anywhere Else
I am always the youngest person in my class. And the youngest person in my family, being the only child. They let me into school early because I was such a bright little jerk. I have always been bright for my age. Who knows, at forty-five I may still be bright for my age. That is partly what this thing I'm telling, this story, is about. About being a bright little jerk.
Trevor Noah
- Born A Crime
We spend so much time being afraid of failure, afraid of rejection. But regret is the thing we should fear most. Failure is an answer. Rejection is an answer. Regret is an eternal question you will never have the answer to.

- Typing is fun
The reason I began to type was so that I could be faster than my friends. But around when I crossed 90 WPM, I stopped typing to get faster and just for the hell of it. Typing became a fun hobby of mine that I could convince myself was a skill that was definitely, totally useful in my everyday life. Now, whenever I'm stressed, I start typing. Whenever I'm bored, I start typing. If I'm watching or listening to something, I'm probably typing on the other tab. Typing is fun.
Translation by Francis B. Gummere
- Beowulf Opening Passage
Lo, praise of the prowess of people-kings of spear-armed Danes, in days long sped, we have heard, and what honor the athelings won! Oft Scyld the Scefing from squadroned foes, from many a tribe, the mead-bench tore, awing the earls. Since erst he lay friendless, a foundling, fate repaid him: for he waxed under welkin, in wealth he throve, till before him the folk, both far and near, who house by the whale-path, heard his mandate, gave him gifts: a good king he!

- Productivity increasing
Something that helped me improve my typing speed is focusing on simply being consistent in typing and not listening to anyone else when they tell me that I should type homerow. While I do agree with them that it is better, if I did that it would take me more hours of hard work and dedication in my life. I currently type with four fingers, and I honestly love it. While it may not be the healthiest way, I still love it, and it is how I type. Typing should be something you enjoy, so keep it fun!

- Crush on a Friend's Crush: Update
I have chosen not to take the risk of losing my friendship. I got to thinking about it and my friendship with one of my best friends is more important than a boy. I am not going to let one little crush get in the way of something that is bigger than a crush - a best friend of a lifetime.
Antoine de Saint-Exupéry
- The Little Prince
But my rose, all on her own, is more important than all of you together, since she's the one I've watered. Since she's the one I put under glass, since she's the one I sheltered behind the screen.
TOMORROW X TOGETHER
- Translated Fragment of "Ice Cream"
I really can't do it. I feel like I'm the only one that's been robbed. It's unfair, so everything should be doomed. For my own mean wish, I'm going to pray to be able to do small, evil things. Secretly, secretly with my heart, I wish for things to be unfair for everyone.
Erich Fromm
- Is Love an Art
Is love an art? Then it requires knowledge and effort. Or is love a pleasant sensation, which to experience is a matter of chance, something one "falls into" if one is lucky? This little book is based on the former premise, while undoubtedly the majority of people today believe in the latter.

- Baby Hotline
Baby hotline, please hold me close to you. Baby flatline, still time to do it to. Baby snack time, please chow down to Earth, but in your head she's a hoarder of quarters. No boundary boredoms, no boundary boredoms. I contend that your drinking eye has never opened. I insist that someone will die, and I hate hoping. Wishing that the pills let you cry, and I hate coping. Someday, I will go back outside and see her. Ok.

- Solemn Advice from my Mother's Grandmother
My mother once sat me down and looked me in my eyes with a sad strictness. She did what all parents do and gifted me with her life's advice, the same advice passed down to her by her grandmother. "If ever you are in an attempted kidnapping and are being threatened by a man to keep quiet, do not follow his command and fight until your last breath. I guarantee that where he would take you be far worse than death." I carry this with me in my life and so will my daughter's daughter.
Conan Gray
- Heather
But I watch your eyes as she walks by. What a sight for sore eyes. Brighter than a blue sky. She's got you mesmerized while I die. Why would you ever kiss me? I'm not even half as pretty. You gave her your sweater, it's just polyester. But you like her better. Wish I were Heather.

- Fundraising and Philanthropy 1.1
So let's spend some time talking about ethics and guiding principles that we engage with our donors. The things that we promise our donors, the things that we must deliver to our donors to ensure an ethical approach to fundraising. Some of this revolves around confidentiality. So we'll spend a bit of time talking about what it means to provide confidentiality to our donors.

- 1985 Lytton Fiction Contest Winner
The countdown stalled at T-minus 69 seconds when Desiree, the first female ape to go up in space, winked at me slyly and pouted her thick, rubbery lips unmistakably - the first of many such advances during what would prove to be the longest, and most memorable, space voyage of my career.
