Yamada Sagiri
- The Space Between
Turn your emotion into intensity and power, all while maintaining rationality and not losing sight. What drives me is neither rage nor calm. It's the space between.
Marcus Aurelius
- Passion
People who love what they do wear themselves down doing it, they even forget to wash or eat. Do you have less respect for your own nature than the engraver does for engraving, the dancer for the dance, the miser for money or the social climber for status? When they're really possessed by what they do, they'd rather stop eating and sleeping than give up practicing their art.
George Orwell
- 1984
The sudden jerk out of sleep, the rough hand shaking your shoulder, the lights glaring in your eyes, the ring of hard faces round the bed. In the vast majority of cases there was no trial, no report of the arrest. People simply disappeared, always during the night. Your name was removed from the registers, every record of everything you had ever done was wiped out, your one-time existence was denied and then forgotten. You were abolished, annihilated: vaporized was the usual word.

I feel like I'm being left behind. Even though I'm always beside you, I still feel so far away. I feel it when you laugh at their jokes but not mine; when I ask how you are, and you don't ask me back; when you gush about how trustworthy and lovely our friend is; when you look at me like you hate me, then turn around and look at others lovingly. And maybe you don't mean to make me feel this way, but I do, and it makes me want to cry.
Timothy
- Flow
There are days when I can't get into the flow of typing. I get bothered by each small mistake I made, I notice that I lag in deleting the characters, I linger on them just a second longer than I normally would. There are also days where everything seems to just click in place. My mind doesn't care that I made a mistake, doesn't complain that I made a mistake; it anticipates mistakes, accepts it as part of typing, and moves on. Some days the mind is like still water, you can see to the bottom.

- Donald J. Trump - Richmond Rally 3/2/2024
We were number three and number four when I took over and within two years we were so far above Saudi Arabia and Russia, which were number one and two, you have to see the chart. They're like this and we're like, ding, boom. This is me. I hear, bing. I got to put that chart up for people. We put all these pictures of me, I'd rather have the chart up. How does the back of my head look, is it okay? I'm like an artist. I'm like an artist.

- Chicken Ghost
I've kind of wondered if there is a difference between cruelty done in ignorance and cruelty done for satisfaction. Would it be better if I took satisfaction in eating the meat of a factory-farmed chicken, or if I just didn't think about it? I wonder if there is a chicken ghost running around my head yelling, "You kept me in a cage my entire life, and it wasn't even personal?".

- Have You Ever
Have you ever felt like you were stuck in a pickle or that no one likes you anymore? Because I have been that person ever since January 1, people always think that they're better than me. I think people at my school act like they don't care about anything in the world except for games, girls, and money. Really, it's the most annoying thing ever.
Jeon Somi
- Fast forward
How many lovers do I go through to find you? How many heartbreaks I take just to get to you? How many lovers do I go through to find you? How many? Fast forward.

- Limited Spaces
There's a quote in here that states it won't count as an error if you add an extra space. Which technically is partially true, but in reality, it won't even count it. Go ahead and try it. You can't put more than one space between any two words, no matter how many times you press the spacebar.
Matthew Perry
- Friends, Lovers, and the Big Terrible Thing - Ch. 11
I try not to think too hard about the incredible women I had passed over because of a fear it took me too long to understand. I try not to dwell on this too much. If you spend too much time looking in the rearview mirror, you WILL crash your car.
Amy Bloom
- Too much perspective
Perspective is useful of course: it's why very few people want to be 18 again, but the other side is having so much perspective, it's hard to give a damn about anything happening here in the real.
Neil Gaiman
- Excerpt from "The Graveyard Book"
Josiah Worthington said, "The dead and the living do not mingle, boy. We are no longer part of their world; they are no part of ours. If it happened that we danced the danse macabre with them, the dance of death, then we would not speak of it, and we certainly would not to speak of it to the living." "But I'm one of you." "Not yet, boy. Not for a lifetime."
A Computer Security professor
I once attended a Computer Security class, in which my professor gave an important life lesson. He said: "Thinking that Computer Security is useless because attackers 'will break in the system anyway' is the worst approach you could have. The only way in which attackers cannot break in a system is by making the system invulnerable, which is impossible. You just have to make it hard enough for the attacker."
Cavetown
- Grocery Store
Can you hear all of my open wounds? I'm whispering as loud as the flowers bloom. I've been somewhere in the sky, don't worry. I'll be right on time if I can help it, I'm so sorry. I've been trying not to cry at the grocery store. Little bully inside, pinning me to the floor. It must be easier than it seems, but I can't get these thorns out of my teeth, it's killing me but I want more.

- Why I write to you
Sometimes, when I cannot get you off of my mind, I write to you in places that I think it is plausible you may see it. When I think of you, I wonder if that is the universe telling me you are thinking of me too. And while I know that if you came across this quote you could not prove I wrote it to you, I like to think you would know, deep down.

- Fear - Kiyotaka Ayanokoji
I knew all about fear born through pain. I knew the terror and misery of being a loser. I'd seen people destroyed by it before my eyes, time and time again. But eventually, I stopped feeling fear. Instead, I just felt cold, because I'd come to realize that no matter how much suffering or despair others experienced, the same would never happen to me.

- Failling In Love with Two People At Once
"If you fall in love with two people at once, always go for the second one because if you truly loved the first one you wouldn't have fallen for the second one" but what about the fact that" if you truly loved the second one you wouldn't still be in love with the first one." If you love both of them, go for neither but both at the same time. Don't tell them how much you love them until you are sure which one you love more. Just keep them in your life until you are sure which one you love more.
Charlie Chaplin
- Cognition
Our cleverness, hard and unkind. We think too much and feel too little. More than machinery we need humanity. More than cleverness we need kindness and gentleness. Without these qualities, life will be violent.
