Thomas Wolfe
- Look Homeward, Angel
The pictures of battle delighted him most of all. Exulting in the howl of the beaten wind about the house, the thunder of great trees, he committed himself to the dark storm, releasing the mad devil's hunger all men have in them, which lusts for darkness, the wind and incalculable speed.
Jon snow
- Game of Thrones
They fought together, against their common enemy. Despite their differences, despite their suspicions-together. And we need to do the same if we're going to survive, because the enemy is real. It's always been real.
Mitski
- Me and my Husband - Mitski on Be The Cowboy
I steal a few breaths from the world for a minute, and then I'll be nothing forever, and all of my memories and all the things I have seen, will be gone. With my eyes and my body. But me and my husband, we're doing better. It's always been just him and me together, so I bet all that I have on that furrowed brow. And at least in this life time, we're sticking together. Me and my husband, we're sticking together.
Thom Yorke
- Nude - In Raindows - Radiohead
Don't get any big ideas. They're not gonna happen. You paint yourself white. And feel up with noise. But there'll be something missing. Now that you've found it, it's gone. Now that you feel it, you don't. You've gone off the rails.

- If by you you mean we
The apples are early this year, and the grass is late. The taxi is early and the past is late. The fist is late. The tooth - like the news of the tooth - broke both early and late. I'm telling you: this all really happened. I had a love and I ripped through like it was bread.

- Buffalo
His hands were quick, and his aim was true. Jim "Buffalo" Granger's tongue flicked like a snake's, and yet his ego was one of a rowdy Cajun delinquent. Only a single bent hair of your eyebrow could trigger him immensely. And in case you didn't reciprocate his feelings, his snake's tongue could get you to. And if you found yourself at the end of his dead eye, he could slam a round right between your eyes before your brain could even produce the thought of touching your pistol.
The Pangram Man
- Pangram
Farmer Jack realized that big yellow quilts were expensive. The job requires extra pluck and zeal from every young wage earner. A mad boxer shot a quick, gloved jab to the jaw of his dizzy opponent. How quickly daft jumping zebras vex! Five or six bit jet planes zoomed quickly over the tower. Six big devils from Japan quickly forgot how to waltz. When zombies arrive, quickly fax Judge Pat. And finally, the quick brown fox jumped over the lazy dog.
SuperM
- Infinity
Nothing to phase us, shoot for the sky! Double amazing, triple the fly! Whatever we're on, thinking I'm out of my zone. Still in my element, cant quit. Energy constant, ready to run this!
Truman
- The Parting of the Ways
Tim put the pan with the bacon over the small fire that was rapidly catching. The bacon remained still for a minute or so and then a tiny crackling sound started, and the bacon was frying. A very rancid odor came from the meat. Tim's sick face turned sicker from the fumes.
A Kiwi
- Fear
Fear is known to all of man, whether they accept it or not. It's the only truly universal feeling. The buzzing feeling of anxiety crawling through your veins, the sweat forming at the hairline that is slowly dripping its way down your face. The shakiness felt throughout your entire body. The overwhelming feeling that you're being watched, that every one knows exactly what you're scared of and judging you. Fear, it's a well known intruder in life.
Thomas Lopez, AKA Meatball Fulton
- From "The Fourth Tower of Inverness" radio play.
The moon slips sideways through the branches. The branches wring their hands. Little drops of sap slide down and drop free - totally free, except for the gravity and the inevitable <plunk>. "Ah yes, Life's like that," says the moon, picking its teeth with a twig. Ah yes.
David Foster Wallace
- Consider the Lobster and Other Essays
No wonder we cannot appreciate the really central Kafka joke: that the horrific struggle to establish a human self results in a self whose humanity is inseparable from the horrific struggle. That our endless and impossible journey toward home is in fact our home.
Dante
- The Divine Comedy
But my own wings were not for such a flight; except that, smiting through the mind of me, there came fulfillment in a flash of light. That my volition now and my desires were moved like a wheel revolving evenly, by love which moves the sun and the starry fires.
Mihael Radjail
- Try to achieve something greater
You don't need to be famous. You don't need to be rich. You just need to help at least one person in your life, even if it is you, yourself. No one says it's going to be easy because it's definitely hard. But you can try until you can't.
Neil Gaiman
- Yvaine's Monologue- Stardust
You know when I said I knew little about love? That wasn't true. I know a lot about love. I've seen it, I've seen centuries and centuries of it. It's the only thing that made watching your world bearable. All the wars, pain, lies, and hate, made me want to turn away and never look down again. But to see the way that mankind loves! I mean, you could search the furthest reaches of the universe and never find anything more beautiful.

- homeschool to highschool
I never thought I would be able to experience high school especially because I was homeschooled for many years. Another thing I didn't expect is that I would be passing all of my classes; I thought I would be a student who barely passes their classes. But no, I'm passing with A's and B's and maybe a C depending if I missed a few days and never made up the work.
Anonymous
- 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!
Rumaan Alam
- 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.
