Fairuz - To Beirut
To Beirut. From my heart salutations to Beirut. And kisses to the sea and the houses. To a rock that looks like an old sailor's face. She is a wine made of people's spirit. From people's sweat she's bread and Jasmine. So how did her taste turn into the taste of fire and smoke?

Kanye West (Sane) - Heard Em Say
They say people in your life are seasons and anything that happen is for a reason. And fellas gun clapping and keep to squeezing and Gram keep praying and keep believing in Jesus, and one day that you see him 'til then walk in his footsteps and try to be him, the devil is alive I feel him breathing.

Walt Whitman - When I head the learn'd Astronomer
When I heard the learn'd astronomer. When the proofs, the figures, were ranged in columns before me. When I was shown the charts and diagrams, to add, divide, and measure them. When I sitting heard the astronomer where he lectured with much applause in the lecture row. How soon unaccountable I became tired and sick, till rising and gliding out I wander'd off by myself, in the mystical moist night-air, and from time to time, looked up in perfect silence at the stars.

The Vampire Diaries
Now that I have your attention, listen up. You do not come into my town, threaten people I care about. Going after Elena? Bad move. You leave her alone or I'll rip you to bits, because I do believe in killing the messenger. And you know why? Because it sends a message.

Alethea Faust - By Your Side
Trauma is a part of life. No matter how we guard ourselves against it, we all will suffer through pain and hardship. But the ones who stay by your side through the difficulties will be the ones who make that weight easier to bear.

Colin Cotterill - Don't Eat Me - Chap. 1
This whole thing started and finished with her. She was in a crate. A compact coconut wood coffin with narrow slits for air. She'd screamed over and over to no avail. She'd tried to make sense of it. She'd counted the unblinking eyes. Nineteen of them. One too many or one too few, but nineteen by every reckoning. And even though there was no light beneath the thick tarpaulin those eyes glowed deep yellow like dying stars.

Thomas Jefferson - Happiness
I predict future happiness for Americans, if they can prevent the government from wasting the labors of the people under the pretense of taking care of them.

Rick Riordan - Prophecy of Seven
Seven heroes shall answer the call, to storm or fire, the world must fall. An oath to keep with the final breath, as foes bear arms to the Doors of Death. Wisdoms daughter walks alone, the mark of Athena burns through Rome. Twins snuff out the angels breath, who holds the key to endless death. Giants' bane stands gold and pale, won through pain of a woven jail.

James Terrence - Perspective
Your small place in the world is to perceive the positive in all that you must do. If you look at any action you will find that it's incentives equally contain the fear of loss and the desire for gain. Being compelled by negative emotion is the basis of all neurosis. Following the positive is the road to something great. Some call it self-actualization, amor fati, or individuation. What do you call it?

John Steinbeck - John Steinbeck - Excerpt from The Pearl
He had said, "I am a man," and that meant certain things to Juana. It meant that he was half insane and half god. It meant that Kino would drive his strength against a mountain and plunge his strength against the sea. Juana, in her woman's soul, knew that the mountain would stand while the man broke himself; that the sea would surge while the man drowned in it.

The Warriors (1979) - Roger Hill as Cyrus - Can You Dig It?
Forty-thousand, counting affiliates, and twenty-thousand more, not organized, but ready to fight: 60,000 soldiers! Now, there ain't but 20,000 police in the whole town. Can you dig it?

Matthew 6:9-13 - The Lord's Prayer
Our Father which art in heaven, Hallowed be thy name. Thy kingdom come, Thy will be done on earth, as it is in heaven. Give us this day our daily bread. And forgive us our debts, as we forgive our debtors. And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil: For thine is the kingdom, and the power, and the glory, forever. Amen.

Quatorze prières - Prière pour aimer la douleur
I have nothing but my sorrow, and I want nothing more. It has been, it still is, faithful to me. Why should I begrudge it, since during the hours, when my soul crushed the depths of my heart, it was seated there beside me? O sorrow, I have ended, you see, by respecting you, because I am certain you will never leave me. Ah, I realize it: your beauty lies in the force of your being. Because I know that on the day of my final agony, you will be there, lying in my sheets, O sorrow, so that you mi.

Han Kang - The Vegetarian
The feeling that she had never really lived in this world caught her by surprise. It was a fact. She had never lived. Even as a child, as far back as she could remember, she had never done nothing but endure. She had believed in her own inherent goodness, her humanity, and lived accordingly, never causing anyone harm.

Nina LaCour - Hold Still - Ingrid's letter to Caitlin
I knew it was coming, but it's still hard to understand that after I read this, there will be nothing left of her for me to discover. I turn my flashlight off and all the light that's left comes from the moon and the living room of my house. A gust of wind comes. All the leaves above and below and around me rustle. It's the sound of losing, or of starting over. I can't decide which.

Kyoya Ootori
It's fine if he holds bad judgment without trying to get to know me. The real point is letting just the ones who want to understand me know my real self.

FOSS Science - Making An Electromagnet
When electric current flows through a wire, a magnetic field is produced around the wire. You can detect this magnetic field on a straight wire, but when you coil the wire around a core, the magnetic fields of the wire-coils overlap and add, so the magnetic force intensifies. This produces an electromagnet.

Irvin D. Yalom
Sometimes I simply remind patients that sooner or later they will have to relinquish the goal of having a better past. If you make a mistake, admit it. Any attempt at cover-up will ultimately backfire.

Bring me the horizon - Oh no
Don't call it a party 'cause it never stops. Now one is too many but it's never enough. Don't tell me you're happy 'cause this isn't love. So be careful what you wish for.

Vladimir Kramnik - Interesting
Some small new piece of statistics, recently noticed, a player had scored 45.5 out of 46 CONSECUTIVE 3 minute blitz games against approximately 2950 in average rating opposition (few different players) which is equivalent to 3600+ performance in those 46 CONSECUTIVE games. I believe everyone would find this interesting.
