| 96144c5 | it's colder than hell (yes) but the blankets are thin, and the pulled-down shades are as full of holes as love is. | Charles Bukowski | ||
| 0308c8c | The more the drive toward life is thwarted, the stronger is the drive toward destruction; the more life is realized, the less is the strength of destructiveness. Destructiveness is the outcome of unlived life. | Erich Fromm | ||
| e9735fe | We have to grasp, as Marx and Adam Smith did, that corporations are not concerned with the common good. They exploit, pollute, impoverish, repress, kill, and lie to make money. They throw poor people out of homes, let the uninsured die, wage useless wars for profit, poison and pollute the ecosystem, slash social assistance programs, gut public education, trash the global economy, plunder the U.S. Treasury and crush all popular movements tha.. | Chris Hedges | ||

| 8054686 | I wasn't gifted. Mom was wrong. I was just smart and I worked hard. I had fooled myself into thinking that was something important to the rest of the world. Other people were complicit in this ruse. Nobody had told me I was common. | Ned Vizzini | ||
| 10fffcd | People think a soul mate is your perfect fit, and that's what everyone wants. But a true soul mate is a mirror, the person who shows you everything that's holding you back, the person who brings you to your own attention so you can change your life. A true soul mate is probably the most important person that you will ever meet, because they tear down your walls and smack you awake. But to live with a soul mate forever? Nah. Too painful. Sou.. | soul-mates | Elizabeth Gilbert | |
| a986b5b | Mature love is loving, not being loved. | Irvin D. Yalom | ||
| 221be46 | To abstain from politics is in itself a political attitude. | Simone de Beauvoir | ||
| bcfabfa | There are some dogs which, when you meet them, remind you that, despite thousands of years of man-made evolution, every dog is still only two meals away from being a wolf. These dogs advance deliberately, purposefully, the wilderness made flesh, their teeth yellow, their breath a-stink, while in the distance their owners witter, "He's an old soppy really, just poke him if he's a nuisance," and in the green of their eyes the red campfires of.. | humor terror | Neil Gaiman | |
| 07b25bf | I believe that anyone who claims to know what's going on will lie about the little things too. | Neil Gaiman | ||
| 9636832 | Rejoice in the Lord always. I will say it again Rejoice! Let your gentleness be evident to all. The Lord is near. Do not be anxious about anything, but in everything, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God. And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus. | Anonymous | ||
| 4a3884f | It's very simple. As you grow, you learn more. If you stayed at twenty-two, you'd always be as ignorant as you were at twenty-two. Aging is not just decay, you know. It's growth. It's more than the negative that you're going to die, it's also the positive that you understand you're going to die, and that you live a better life because of it. | dying growth ignorance learning life | Mitch Albom | |
| f11df25 | Sometimes you have to do things when sad things happen. | Mitch Albom | ||
| 4b13817 | If you could pack for heaven, this was how you'd do it, touching everything, taking nothing. | Mitch Albom | ||

| 962edaa | Sure, that's what I mean,' Doc Daneeka said. 'A little grease is what makes this world go round. One hand washes the other. Know what I mean? You scratch my back, I'll scratch yours.' Yossarian knew what he meant. That's not what I meant,' Doc Daneeka said, as Yossarian began scratching his back. | Joseph Heller | ||
| 4fd62be | Still humping the American Dream | Hunter S. Thompson | ||
| 93fd18d | The TV business is uglier than most things. It is normally perceived as some kind of cruel and shallow money trench through the heart of the journalism industry, a long plastic hallway where thieves and pimps run free and good men die like dogs, for no good reason. | Hunter S. Thompson | ||
| 10602ad | We must take arms each and every day, perhaps knowing that the battle cannot be entirely won, but fight we must, if only a gentle bout. The smallest effort to win means, at the end of each day, a sort of victory. Remember that pianist who said that if he did not pratice every day he would know, if he did not practice for two days, the critics would know, after three days, his audiences would know. A variation of this is true for writers. No.. | Ray Bradbury | ||
| 429f24d | But he stays by the window, remembering that life. They had laughed. They had leaned on each other and laughed until the tears had come, while everything else--the cold and where he'd go in it--was outside, for a while anyway. | Raymond Carver | ||

| ee00d99 | Stars open among the lilies. Are you not blinded by such expressionless sirens? This is the silence of astounded souls. | silence | Sylvia Plath | |
| 69be977 | I want to be violated by insight. | Aimee Bender | ||
| 7a4f2aa | the seed of doubt was there, and it stayed, and every now and then sent out a little root. It changed everything, to have that seed growing. It made Ender listen more carefully to what people meant, instead of what they said. It made him wise. | Orson Scott Card | ||
| d3c6670 | Friend is a very small word, A little sound we make, For one who is true, one who will do, Great deeds for friendship's sake. | Brian Jacques | ||
| 60e5130 | What a stupendous, what an incomprehensible machine is man! Who can endure toil, famine, stripes, imprisonment and death itself in vindication of his own liberty, and the next moment . . . inflict on his fellow men a bondage, one hour of which is fraught with more misery than ages of that which he rose in rebellion to oppose. | man | Thomas Jefferson | |
| 93788cb | I cannot live without brainwork. What else is there to live for? Stand at the window here. Was ever such a dreary, dismal, unprofitable world? See how the yellow fog swirls down the street and drifts across the duncoloured houses. What could be more hopelessly prosaic and material? | sherlock-holmes the-sign-of-four | Sir Arthur Conan Doyle | |
| 74ecf71 | I married him against all evidence. I married him believing that marriage doesn't work, that love dies, that passion fades, and in so doing I became the kind of romantic only a cynic is truly capable of being. | Nora Ephron | ||
| ce2c5cd | I can help Katy," Blake wheezed. "Good enough for you?" "What?" I demanded, dropping my hands. "Yeah, see, you saying her name alone makes me want to kill you. So, no, not good enough for me." -- | jennifer-l-armentrout katy-and-daemon katy-swartz lux onyx | Jennifer L. Armentrout | |

| 4b83d57 | You're probably thinking: Wait, you just charged in without a plan? But Annabeth and I had been fighting together for years. We knew each other's abilities. We could anticipate each other's moves. I might have felt awkward and nervous about being her boyfriend, but fighting with her? That came naturally. Hmm...that sounded wrong. Oh, well. | Rick Riordan | ||

| 112ba50 | Beth had been both wrong and right. Echo couldn't hurt anyone, especially when she seemed so breakable herself. But the need I felt to be the one to keep the world from shattering her only confirmed Beth's theory. I was falling for her and I was fucked. | Katie McGarry | ||
