I'm sorry! I'm just trying to understand. I mean, is it simply your midlife crisis that's chasing you down? Is your dragon like a mythical red sports car? With painted wing decals, and rumbling muffler? Or more like a Kevorkian pill that you must swallow before your mouth dries shut completely? Would it be so sad to die slowly in bed, would that be so bad, Beowulf?

Is it that you can't cope with all this loneliness as you age? Is that what it is, Beowulf? Are you suddenly realizing that society is built on strength of youth, not has-been done-dids with bad hip and liver spots and blood clots? Afraid your retinue is sick of hearing your old war stories and they will move you into a retirement community, with nurses whispering behind your back, and bed-bags full of messy fluids?

- Typing is relaxing
Whenever I need something to help me destress, I typically go to typing test websites because typing helps me feel calm. Though I do get annoyed at times due to the fact that I'm not reaching the WPM I am aiming for, typing helps to calm my nerves when I'm having a bad day.
Warren Buffett
- Chairman's Letter
They know that overstaying the festivities - that is, continuing to speculate in companies that have gigantic valuations relative to the cash they are likely to generate in the future - will eventually bring on pumpkins and mice. But they nevertheless hate to miss a single minute of what is one helluva party. Therefore, the giddy participants all plan to leave just seconds before midnight. There's a problem, though: They are dancing in a room in which the clocks have no hands.

That was what magic did. It revealed the heart of who you'd been before life took away your belief in the possible. It gave back the world all lonely children longed for.
Curtis Baldwin
- Be Yourself
I always thought that people who tell you to be yourself were just pretending that they knew something about life. Then I realized that I'm the only person that I have to live with until I die, so I better be someone that I can live with for the next fifty years. That's pretty scary.

- Defense of the New
The bitter truth we critics must face, is that in the grand scheme of things, the average piece of junk is probably more meaningful than our criticism designating it so. But there are times when a critic truly risks something, and that is in the discovery and defense of the new. The world is often unkind to new talent, new creations. The new needs friends.
Coldplay
- Viva la Vida (Verse 1)
I used to rule the world, seas would rise when I gave the word. Now in the morning I sweep alone, sweep the streets I used to own. I used to roll the dice, feel the fear in my enemy's eyes. Listen as the crowd would sing: "Now the old king is dead! Long live the king!" One minute I held the key, next the walls were closed on me. And I discovered that my castles stand upon pillars of salt and pillars of sand.

- Mistborn
I never wanted to be feared. If I regret one thing, it is the fear I have caused. Fear is the tool of tyrants. Unfortunately, when the fate of the world is in question, you use whatever tools are available.

I know what wages, malcontent, and rebellion bring. The eye of the Lord Ruler and the ire of the Steel Ministry can be far more terrible than a few whippings. Men like you preach change, but I wonder. Is this a battle we can really fight?

And so Time goes on as it should and events that were once fated to happen are left instead to chance, and Chance never falls in love with anything for long.
Jonny Sun
- Goodbye, again
I believe that the things you notice - that you love, that make you pause - make up who you are. And so it feels, in a way, like those things are a part of you, even though they are outside of you. Which makes me wonder if it would be more accurate to say, perhaps, that a piece of you is kept alive by a part of them.

- All the Light We Cannot See
Werner thinks of her, whether he wishes to or not. Girl with a cane, girl in a gray dress, girl made of mist. The air of otherworldliness in the snarls of her hair and the fearlessness of her step. She takes up residence inside him, a living doppelganger to face down the dead Viennese girl who haunts him every night.

- Tekken 7 - お父さん...
I remember receiving my first letter from my son a few years back. Scribbled on it, were the words: "I love you." I was so happy I cried. At the time, I believed that love was all that anyone needed. For some years now, I've been investigating a certain father and son, and I managed to get ahold of the first letter the boy wrote to his father. It said: "Father, one day I will tear you to pieces."
The Book of Mormon
- Ether 12:4
Wherefore, who so believeth in God might with surety hope for a better world, yea, even a place at the right had of God, which hope cometh of faith, maketh an anchor to the souls of men, which would make them sure and steadfast, always abounding in good works, being led to glorify God.

- Life
Have you ever wondered if there's more to life than just living and dying? You can never truly live until you accept that you will die. Life is something that was made to be shared with others.

- Thoughts
Have you ever been sitting there, thinking about something or someone? And then you think of a sick or lost one. It can even be a pet. You can feel the wave of sadness hitting you like a bullet. It's so random, but it has happened.
