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.
Thomas Paine
- The tyranny of religion
Of all the tyrannies that affect mankind, tyranny in religion is the worst; every other species of tyranny is limited to the world we live in, but this attempts to stride beyond the grave, and seeks to pursue us into eternity.
Jimmy Carter
- Religion and Sexism
The truth is that male religious leaders have had - and still have - an option to interpret holy teachings either to exalt or subjugate women. They have, for their own selfish ends, overwhelmingly chosen the latter . Their continuing choice provides the foundation or justification for much of the pervasive persecution and abuse of women throughout the world.
Albert Einstein
- Religion
A man's ethical behavior should be based effectually on sympathy, education, and social ties; no religious basis is necessary. Man would indeed be in a poor way if he had to be restrained by fear of punishment and hope of reward after death.

- Qiqi's Specialty Dish
Qiqi's specialty. The neat rows of ingredients seem at once exotic and delicious, and Baizhu says that Qiqi has spent a long time creating this dish. Still, once one considers that Qiqi has no sense of taste, just putting chopsticks to the food is going to take some courage.
Ray Bradbury
- Kaleidoscope
From this outer edge of his life, looking back, there was only one remorse, and that was only that he wished to go on living. Did all dying people feel this way, as if they had never lived? Did life seem that short, indeed, over and done before you took a breath? Did it seem this abrupt and impossible to everyone, or only to himself, here, now, with a few hours left to him for thought and deliberation?

- Welcome to the Internet!
Welcome to the internet! Have a look around. Anything, that brain of yours can think of, can be found. We've got mountains of content-some better, some worse. If none of it's of interest to you, you'd be the first. Welcome to the internet! Come and take a seat; would you like to see the news or any famous women's feet? There's no need to panic; this isn't a test. Haha. Just nod or shake your head, and we'll do the rest.

- Welcome to the Internet!
You know, it wasn't always like this, not very long ago, just before your time. Right before the towers fell, circa '99. This was catalogs, travel blogs - A chatroom or two. We set our sights and spent our nights waiting for you! You, insatiable you.

Those that have treated me with kindness, I will repay that kindness tenfold - AND THOSE THAT TREAT ME WITH INJUSTICE. That used me. That hunt me down. THAT HURT MY FRIENDS... I shall repay that injustice a thousand times over.

- Basic things to know
I think parents need to teach their children basic things. For example, I never learned how to read street signs. I didn't know how to tell what street I was one, so if I was in a car and saw a street sign facing me, I assumed that was the street I was one. That was until one day I walked a mile down the wrong block and my dad called to yell at me. But really... he was the one who never taught me how to properly read street signs. Same things with credit cards. How do those things work?
Curtis Baldwin
- A Strange Hope
I have nothing to be hopeful for, but I am still hopeful. Given the circumstances of my life, a rational person in my position would feel dread, yet I am still hopeful. I don't know why this is, and I don't care to find out. I am just going to appreciate it while it's here.

- Quotes That Don't Suck
If you want to write a good quote, tell me how you feel. I'd rather read through a mountain of poorly written, heartfelt quotes than one more quote from Grey's Anatomy. Please, just let me read about your pain, your happiness, or anything other than those drab quotes.
