- Baby don't hurt me
I've seen a couple quotes starting with "What is love?" now, and each time I start instinctively typing "baby don't hurt me." But the quotes are never about the song, they're just philosophical ramblings about love and hatred and whatever. It always messes up my WPM and accuracy. I feel like a fool every time.

Well, that's the end of the Alpha Series. The Pair Bond simply worked too well. That madwoman Tenenbaum bit the company hand, turning some of the bonded Sisters human again. Others were... lost to Splicers. Either way, the trauma proved too much for the bonded Protectors, resulting in unreasoning rage, or coma. We can harness their suicidal aggression as foot soldiers... but no more, I'm afraid. Today I saw one kneeling near a Gatherer's Garden and... crying.

- Positivity
I've been called a positive person by friends, coworkers, bosses, and family. I disagree with their categorization of my personality. In truth, I feel I feign positivity in order to avoid any unwanted attention. It seems a cultural pressure for those who are positive to help those who are not, but what of those who rejoice in negativity? What of those who feel that viewing life negatively has given them a closer relationship with reality? I've come to appreciate both sides of the coin.

Every luxury has a deep price. Every indulgence, a cosmic cost. Each fiber of pleasure you experience causes equivalent pain somewhere else. This is the first law of hemodynamic. Joy can be neither created nor destroyed. The balance of happiness is constant. Fact: Every time you eat a bite of cake, someone gets horsewhipped. Every time two people kiss, an orphanage collapses. Every time a baby is born, an innocent animal is severely mocked for its physical appearance. Don't be a pleasure hog!
Charles Dickens
- A tale of two cities
The mechanical work was a mechanical substitute for eating and drinking; the hands moved for jaws and the digestive apparatus. If the bony fingers had been still, the stomachs would have been more famine pinched.
Antoine de Saint-Exupery
If you want to build a ship, don't drum up the men to gather wood, divide work and give orders. Instead, teach them to yearn for the vast and endless sea.
Jamie Anderson
- Grief
Grief is really just love you want to give, but cannot. All that unspent love gathers in the corners of your eyes, lump in your throat, and in the hollow part of your chest. Grief is just love with no place to go.

Deep in my bones, I can feel you. Take me back to a time only we knew. Hideaway. We could waste the night with an old film. Smoke a little weed on the couch in the back room. Hideaway.

- The glass and the desk
When you place the glass on the desk you are probably not realizing that these two have been good friends for a long time. They are probably happy to see each other and spend some time together. Stories of happy or sad lips around dinner tables, are exchanged with similar stories of restless hands on busy working days. However, just like with the rest of us, there comes a time where they are separated to continue their journeys with the hope that they will see each other again soon.

"If you're a martyr, then we all are. Peanut. The Prof. Mouse. Piano. Heck, I expect some of them Huns too. The word don't mean much. You can't make light of death. Not when so many good men we knew didn't come back to live the lives we lived." "But it hurts. It hurts so bad to keep going." Church cupped my cheek and lifted my face. "That's what real sacrifice is. To keep going no matter how deep the fear gets into your heart."

Love matters, I added to myself, just so that I did not forget, and no longer would I traipse the planet impeding the person-to-person transmission of this most beautiful of diseases. I had caught it myself, a couple of times, and still felt the gorgeous wounds, still longed to shed tears at the exquisite scars.

We talked about David. The Hebrew Bible's greatest king, greatest lover, greatest warrior-poet. And yet he's shown coveting and adultering and murdering. The best of people, Frank, can do the worst of things. The line between good and evil, I don't think it's drawn in the sand where we can see it. I think it's drawn inside the heart. Only you know when you cross it. Only you know when you've decided which side you're going to end up on.

- I Wandered Lonely As A Cloud
I wandered lonely as a cloud. That floats on high o'er vales and hills, when all at once I saw a crowd, a host, of golden daffodils; beside the lake, beneath the trees, fluttering and dancing in the breeze. Continuous as the stars that shine and twinkle on the milky way, They stretched in never-ending line. Along the margin of a bay: ten thousand saw at a glance, Tossing their heads in sprightly dance. The waves beside them danced; but they Out-did the sparkling waves in glee.
Kiersten White
- On Our Wedding Night
On our wedding night, I will cut out your tongue and swallow it. Then both tongues that spoke our marriage vows will belong to me, and I will be wed only to myself. You will most likely choke to death on your own blood, which will be unfortunate, but I will be both husband and wife and therefore not a widow to be pitied.
Mia Catalano
The road said that a long-distance girlfriend who sleeps better on a bus than she ever has in her own bed, is a gypsy, and a nomad and... no girlfriend at all. And then the night agreed with the road, and we all decided that you deserved better.

A man's suffering is similar to the behavior of gas. If a certain quantity of gas is pumped into an empty chamber, it will fill the chamber completely and evenly, no matter how big the chamber. Thus, suffering completely fills the human soul and conscious mind, no matter whether the suffering is great or little. Therefore the "size" of human suffering is absolutely relative.
David Platt
Radical obedience to Christ is not easy... It's not comfort, not health, not wealth, and not prosperity in this world. Radical obedience to Christ risks losing all these things. But in the end, such risk finds its reward in Christ. And he is more than enough for us.

There's always something that's standing in the way but if you don't let it faze you, you'll know just how to break. Just keep the right vibe because there's no turning back. There ain't no one to prove. We don't got this on lock.

The story of the gingerbread man is one of the most horrific tales in children's literature. All the gingerbread man ever wanted was to live, yet nobody was willing to respect the sanctity of the life of a sentient cookie.
Shakespeare
- Much Ado About Nothing
There's little of the melancholy element in her, my lord; she is never sad but when she sleeps; and not ever sad then! For I have heard my daughter say, she hath often dreamt of unhappiness and waked herself with laughing!
