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.

- Things I Would Miss From The Other Side
Dinner with friends in cities where none of us live. The face that somebody makes when you give them a gift. Every once in a while when I wake up early without trying and catch a sunrise.

- 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.
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.
NieR:Automata
- Iron Pipe Weapon Story 1-4
Dad, if you're cold, I can give you my hat. You're the best father in the world, after all! Dad, if you're hungry, you can have my cookie. You're my favorite person in the world, after all!

My Psych Class
- Genie
There is a critical period for children to develop language. Although people can still learn a language after this period, they will never master it. Genie was a child who's mother was blind and father a schizophrenic. She was locked in a closet until she was thirteen, and had no language knowledge. Once she was rescued she was taught English, but it was similar to an adult learning their second language. Even after extensive training she will never speak with ease.

- Ponzi Scheme of life
Everyone talks their book, and everyone searches for the answers they want. There can be no lies in this system, because the desired answer is unquestionable, and the undesired answer requires further investigation. And so the Ponzi Scheme of life goes on, as we pass our desired answers down to the next generation of suckers.
Bram Stoker
- Dracula -- Jonathan Harker's Journal
To one thing I have made up my mind. If we find out that Mina must be a vampire in the end, then she shall not go into that unknown and terrible land alone. I suppose it is thus that in old times one vampire meant many. Just as their hideous bodies could only rest in sacred earth, so the holiest love was the recruiting sergeant for their ghastly ranks.
Motionless in White
- Werewolf
I could be up all night but I'm paralyzed when the creature comes alive. I don't want to feel. I could be honest. I could be human. I could become the silver bullet in your head. But you can't break my heart like I can.
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.
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.

- Reply to some quotes authors
Sometimes, while I'm typing on this website, I get the urge to reply to some quotes written here where the author tries to trigger me by saying that I should feel my nose or this quote should be hard so I can feel my keystrokes... I just wanted to reply with this quote: I reached the level of word destroyer. Your tricks don't work on me because I never even read what I'm typing.

- Disgaea: Hour of Darkness
But if we are destined to part again, then wouldn't it be better to watch from afar and leave without a single word? He has suffered enough already... my silence is how I show my love.

- sigma.
The real sigma is me. Why does nobody understand me? I thought that I had told everyone I saved Ohio from Baby Gronk. Even the level 10 gyatts watched me! I don't get it! I drank all the Grimace Shakes and got buffed, I saved Ohio with my griddying.
Jane Austen
- Northanger Abbey...Catherine's thoughts
Little as Catherine was in the habit of judging for herself, and unfixed as were her general notions of what men ought to be, she could not entirely repress a doubt, while she bore with the effusions of his endless conceit, of his being altogether completely agreeable...

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.
TXT (TOMORROW X TOGETHER)
- Skipping Stones
We love throwing irregular stones into the calm river. Even though we know it's a painful time period, we grab another stone. I'm curious, what feelings are you going through when you throw yourself?

- Myths are Real, Reality is a Myth
The 'eye for eye' policy satisfies the logical mind but this policy is also equally impracticable. you may follow this policy against a person who is weaker than you. However, if the person is more powerful than you- like your boss, parents, government, the police-it would be disastrous to follow this policy as it may lead to your total ruin.
Sakata Gintoki (Gintama)
Trying to shoulder the burden all by yourself? Don't be a stranger. Weep and ask for help. Lean on me with your runny nose. Cry when you feel like crying. Laugh when you feel like laughing. When you're tearing up with an ugly face, I'll give you a good cry with an uglier face. When you're laughing so hard your stomach hurts, I'll laugh in a louder voice. That's how it should be. It's far better to get dirty while living true to yourself, than to throw away yourself and die a clean death.
