- The Jew Hunter - Inglorious Basterds
Consequently, a German conducts a search of a house suspected of hiding Jews. Where does the hawk look? He looks in the barn, he looks in the attic, he looks in the cellar, he looks everywhere he would hide. But there are so many places it would never occur for a hawk to hide. However, the reason the Fuhrer has brought me to French cow country is because it does occur to me. Because I'm aware what tremendous feats human beings are capable of once they abandon dignity.

- The Truth about Forever
Life can be long or short; it all depends on how you choose to live it. It's like forever, always changing. For any of us our forever could end in an hour, or a hundred years from now. You can never know for sure, so you'd better make every second count.

There's a lie in every belief, an end in every friendship, an if in every life. There is fun in every funeral, beg in every beginning, a demon in every demonstration.
Anastasia Cruze
- A Letter for Myself
I know you are struggling so much right now. I know that you can do anything no matter what happens. I know you are doing your best even if you don't recognize your own efforts. Stop chasing after other people's approval. Learn to appreciate your capabilities. Do everything for yourself, not for other people.

This is an apology letter to the both of us for how long it took me to let things go. It was not my intention to make such a production of the emptiness between us. It's just that I coulda swore you had sung me a love song back there and that you meant it, but I guess sometimes people just chew with their mouth open. So I ate ear plugs alive with my throat, hoping they'd get lodged deep enough inside the empty spots that I wouldn't have to hear you leaving.

- The Music You Hate by Adam Neely
Love and hate are not opposites. The opposite of loving something is being indifferent to it because loving or hating implies that you care about it in one direction or another.

- Bozeman's Folly
They all say I'm insane for taking the caravan through the deep road. The only thing that's insane is paying bribes to those smug bastards in control of Smuggler's Pass. May as well pay the imperial tariffs! I've heard on good account that the dangers in the mountain deeps are well overblown, and that the exit will spit us out far closer to Homestead than that bandit-ridden pass. When I'm swimming in gold up to my neck down in Burrwitchm then they'll all see that Bozeman was right.

Getting into engineering in India is so hard. No I am not talking about the private colleges, the government colleges like IIT's and NIT's. But let me tell you even after you get into this colleges you will feel empty. Life never makes you satisfy, you will crave more and more. And that is the reason of all our development and sorrows.
Mirror, Mirror
A wise man once said that over the years, he learned that one does not truly know how to build up the interior of one's house until one can tear down the exterior of one's home.

- Angel of Death
Slowly we become a single mold. Watching as my skin becomes your skin and starts to hold. I was told that there's a wonder in the place our bodies go. Driving round the sins of both my lives will keep you cold. I deserve it, I've been stalling, I've been selfish, I've been wrong. Finally I heard my name, the absolution called. Now I need it, now I crave the writing burned into the wall. Sitting in your hands to watch the ending of it all.

Okay, now look at Spongebob. Blink... Blink... Open. Hold it! Okay, now you can blink. We are going to try one more time, you just moved a little last time. Blink, blink, blink, and one more blink. Hold it! Hold it! Hold it! We got it that time, you can sit back now.
Ben Carson (not the famous one)
Most people who are afraid of socialism have no idea what socialism is. Most proponents of socialism have no idea what socialism is either. To make matters worse, their ideas of what it is are widely different.
Milton S. Hershey
I didn't follow the policies of those already in the business. If I had, I would never have made a go of it. Instead, I started out with the determination to make a better nickel chocolate bar than any of my competitors made, and I did so.
J.R.R Tolkien - The Fellowship of the Ring
"So do I," said Gandalf, "and so do all who live to see such times. But that is not for them to decide. All we have to decide is what to do with the time that is given us."
Milton Friedman
- When everybody owns something
When everybody owns something, nobody owns it, and nobody has a direct interest in maintaining or improving its condition. That is why buildings in the Soviet Union - like public housing in the United States - looks decrepit within a year or two of their construction.
Rainbow Rowell
- Eleanor and Park
You think that holding someone hard will bring them closer. You think that you can hold them so hard that you'll still feel them, embossed on you, when you pull away. Every time Eleanor pulled away from Park, she felt the gasping loss of him.
Rainbow Rowell
- Art wasn't supposed to look nice;
Eleanor was right. She never looked nice. She looked like art, and art wasn't supposed to look nice; it was supposed to make you feel something. He made her feel like more than the sum of her parts.
Napoleon Hill
- Desire and Faith
I believe in the power of desire backed by faith because I have seen this power lift men from lowly beginnings to places of power and wealth; I have seen it rob the grave of its victims; I have seen it serve as the medium by which men staged a comeback after having been defeated in a hundred different ways; I have seen it provide my own son with a normal, happy, successful life, despite Nature's having sent him into the world without ears.
Joseph Pulitzer
What a newspaper needs in its news, in its headlines, and on its editorial page is terseness, humor, descriptive power, satire, originality, good literary style, clever condensation, and accuracy, accuracy, accuracy!

- Meditation
Be mindful of your being. Breathe in through your nose and out through your mouth. Feel your heartbeat, your breath, your lungs fill with air. Meditation is good for you, you don't only do it when you're upset. Try it once a day.
