Glass Beach
- Bedroom Community
With box-dye hair to match her black thigh-highs and scratched nail polish, she performs femininity. She laughs so hard I watch her lose her balance, fall over backwards to the arms of Mephistopheles, but she'll never leave her bedroom in this bedroom community.
Gym Class Heroes & Adam Levine
- Stereo Hearts
I only pray you never leave me behind. Because good music can be so hard to find. I take your hand and hold it closer to mine. Thought love was dead but now you're changing my mind.
Jane Austen
- Pride and Prejudice
There are few people who I really love, and still fewer of whom I think well. The more I see of the world, the more am I dissatisfied with it; and every day confirms my belief of the disconsistency of all human characters, and of the little dependence that can be placed on the appearance of merit or sense.
Astrid Lindgren, Pippi Longstocking
- You understand teacher...
You understand teacher, don't you? That when you have a mother who's an angel and a father who is a cannibal king, and when you have sailed on the ocean all your whole life, then you don't know just how to behave in school with all the apples and ibexes.
Victoria Aveyard
- Description of Realm Breaker (book)
A strange darkness is growing in the Ward. Even Corayne an-Amarat can feel it, tucked away in her small town at the edge of the sea. Fate knocks on her door, in the form of a mythical immortal and a lethal assassin, who tell Corayne that she is the last of an ancient lineage - with the power to save the world from destruction. Because a man who would burn kingdoms to the ground is raising an army unlike any seen before, bent on uprooting the foundations of the world.
Iyla
- Power (I) - iyla (song)
You lay all your aching down on me, and drain all the love from my body. I take your pain but it's falsely, my problem, it's not, and he'd never hurt, hurt me like you could. I'm moving on, walking away just like you would. Like you would. Hand on my heart, it's our final hour. I take back my power, take back my power. Won't say a word, silence is louder, as I take back my power.

- You are enough
Every day I wonder, 'Am I good enough,' and I never feel that I am. We always compare ourselves to others and say, "Wow, they're so much better than me," or "Wow, I'm nothing compared to them." Don't do that. Instead say, "They look great," or "Hey, they're doing great today," and encourage others. Every day, I feel as if everything will stop. Every day, I wonder, "What can go wrong," but I should be wondering, "What can I do better? How can I improve?" That is how everyone should think.

- Why so many long quotes
Why are there so many long quotes now like I don't wanna type a whole essay for one test. I personally struggle to type long texts faster than 30 WPM so here is a short text.

Chrono Trigger
- Robo Contemplates the Gates
After 400 years of experience, I have come to think that Lavos may not be responsible for the Gates... It is unknown, whose memories these are. It may be something beyond our comprehension. Our journey may come to an end when we finally discover the identity of the Entity. Shall we turn in for the night?

- How I became a loner (Part 3)
I just kept on wondering alone, what would happen to me, what would be my future, how could I get a job, how could I survive. I don't have any talent, that would help me find a job, I'm not good at anything. There are times that I feel worthless, and want to commit suicide, but I'm not brave enough. So I search google about surgeries hoping one could solve my problem but the fees are too much, and I don't have money to pay for. So I tried smiling all the time hoping it would help instead.

- How I became a loner (Part 2)
Experiencing those brought huge changes into my life. My facial expression, changed that anyone who sees me, judged me with the expression of I'm scary, I'm ugly, I'm serious, I'm angry, my face shows an expression that everyone around would be disgusted and leave me... I just don't know how to describe that. Because of the judgement I get when going around with people, I decided to just stay alone at home when I don't need to go out. I avoided my friends, and everyone even my family members.

- How I became a loner (Part 1)
Hi I've been a loner for years now. Everything began when I was a child, I'm a bit shy, talking to people, I think maybe because we're just poor. And that attitude kept on growing when I went to Highschool. I was end with depression and insomnia when I stopped in college when I failed my scholarship. Since then everything changed. I forgot to smile, I can't sleep at night and even on daytime way back in 2015 to early year of 2018. It's a miracle if I'd be able sleep at least 30 minutes a night.
NO ONE
- I am no one
I am so tired of pretending that I am fine. When in reality, I am breaking apart inside. I can't trust anyone. I am alone. If I died tomorrow no one would even notice. I am no one.
Dream
- Mask
I wear a mask with a smile for hours at a time, stare at the ceiling while I hold back what's on my mind. And when they ask me how I'm doing, I say, "I'm just fine." And when they ask me how I'm doing I say, "I'm just fine." But the fact is, I can never get off of my mattress, and all that they can ask is, "Why are you so sad, kid?" That's what the mask is, that's what the point of the mask is. So you can see I'm trying; you won't see me crying. I'll just keep on smiling, I'm good.

I am submitting this quote to celebrate doubling my typing speed since I first started using this website. I started last year with an average speed of only fifty words per minute. What can I say? I fell in love with these quotes and started typing whenever I needed comfort. Just keep going and enjoy the tips and taps of your keyboard!

- Bird Ideas
The bird is okay even though he doesn't understand the world. You're that bird looking at the monitor, and you're thinking to yourself, "I can figure this out." Maybe you have some bird ideas. Maybe that's the best you can do.
Ludwig Wittgenstein
- Philosophical Investigations
We can also think of the whole process of using words in (2) as one of those games by means of which children learn their native language. I will call these games "language-games" and will sometimes speak of a primitive language as a language-game. And the processes of naming the stones and of repeating words after someone might also be called language-games. Think of certain uses that are made of words in games like ring-a-ring-a-roses.
