- Response to Tim Sebastian (BBC HARDTalk) on whether he is a ruthless man.
If I were a ruthless man, I would get you into a corner and say, "Now, let me ask you some questions: Why do you start with the assumption that your interviewee is always dumb, and that you are smarter than him? Why do you assume that Asians are somehow unable to understand Western ways of life, and that they would be so much better if they became more like the West?"

I like to have you right on my mind so i could get you deleted once more as i could love to explore the part of my brain so you can have the piece of my mind.

- They Reached For The Moon
"A military base on the moon!" the leaders had cried. And that had been that. Robot rockets had gone first. They had landed on the moon. They could do that, but they could not establish the desired base. So men had started on a round trip, around the moon, first to prove that men could do it. The only thing they proved was that whatever goes up need not come down.

- Not a Conspiracy Theorist
I don't want to try to connect dots that aren't there. I'm not Catholic so I have no understanding of how the papal election process works. I just find it interesting that the new pope is of Haitian descent and recently tweeted, "JD Vance is wrong."

Verse 1 The inquirers ask: What is the cause of this universe? Is it Brahman? Whence are we born? By what do we live, and on what are we established? Governed by whom do we live our life, whether in pleasure or pain?

- Early bird
Early Bird gets the worm. If you're not chasing a bag or an education, then where do you stand on this plant that you see as earth but call it home? ....... How do you survive and endure this economy we study to live by? Low, the early bird gets the worm. If you're the worm, it's time to evaluate.

- Plastic Body
Plastic body on me, I can't feel ya. Plastic body on me, she can't feel. Life so funny, life's so funny. Laughing at junkies, laughing at junkies, yeah. Laughing at money, laughing at money, haha. Haha, life's so funny, haha. The plastic body on me, I feel like a mess. I need to learn how to chill, I need to learn how to chill. I need drugs. Wanna switch spots? You got a deal. Drunk drivin' swerving wheels. Begging for a handout.
STZ...
- My Neighbor
After I thanked him another time for carrying things for me, he told me that it would have been a terrible thing for him to ignore my struggles. He told me that as a Muslim he had the duty to respect and care for his elderly neighbors. He said that duty was even more important when dealing with grandparents and that he saw me as a grandmother.

The best job in the world is one that pays. The second-best job in the world is one that pays well. The third-best job in the world is one that pays well, and you enjoy doing.

- drop the wish to be loved
All I need is care, just one who will stay, To stand by my side, not drift far away. But leave me alone, and I'll turn cold as stone, I'll silence my soul, and survive on my own.

- Guys I'm Crashing Out
Guys, I have a final tomorrow and two papers to write. One is in German, one is in English, and the final is in Chinese. I cannot think in three languages at once but the only way for me to get any of this done is to flip flop from one to the other. I have been sitting here for seven hours, merely trying to accomplish something and it's not working. Send help and maybe fourteen energy drinks.
Steven Aitchison
- The Lost Wallet
I stumbled on a wallet someone had lost in the street. Wanting to find the owner, I opened it, but it only contained 3 dollars and an old crumpled envelope. I opened the letter and saw a return address and dateline...1924. It had been written 60 years ago. It was signed Hannah. I called information, maybe there was a phone listing for the address. The operator hesitantly told me there was a number, but the best she could do was call it and see if they wanted to be connected.
Sleep Token
- Atlantic
I woke up surrounded, eyes like frozen planets just orbiting the vacuum I am. They talk me through the damage, consequence, and how it's a pain, they know, they don't understand. Sobbing as they turn to statues on the bedside, I'm trying not to crush into sand. So flood me like Atlantic, weather me to nothing, wash away the blood on my hands.
Charlton Laird
You and I who read and write books have very little effect upon language. We may think about it, write about it, and read about it, but it goes on without us, or in spite of us.

- Nonsense quote
This is a nonsense quote. It doesn't need to make any sense. That's why it's called a nonsense quote. But it seems like it's making some sense, so it can't be a nonsense quote anymore.
QASIM
- never give up
Hi, I'm pro I never give up and you should not give up too, believe in yourself and be kind be respectful and imagine the whole world is behind you. But you have to fight them and never give up thanks for reading and writing bye bye by QASIM.
lost guy
- standing onto the fense
The demons are trying to pull me to their side, and honestly, it feels too late - too late to trust someone, too late to reach out, too late to let my guard down and rest my head on someone's shoulder. The only thing I might still be able to hold onto is a little bit of emotion - maybe just enough for the people who once cared for me, my well-wishers. I'm trying to fight for that. I really am. I'm sorry to anyone who believed I could be myself again. I've lost who I am on the inside.
Balladeer
- The Ballad of Merwil Gutierrez
Without due process or rule of law Merwil was taken away. The president said, "That's not a flaw. It's just how things are done today." Merwil's sufferings have begun. His efforts all have failed. But others say, "That battle's won! Our cruelty's prevailed."
"Waiting for my dreams to come true"
I keep hearing people say that once you become an adult, you realize that dreams are just dreams, and that little to nothing of them will come true; but I think that the problem here is that instead of doing anything to actually achieve those dreams, they are waiting for them to happen on their own! Buddy, it takes more than just wishing and waiting for your dreams to be reality. You CAN achieve, it just takes lots of effort and tons of determination.

- Epic: The Musical - There are Other Ways
There are other ways of persuasion. There are other modes of control. There are other means of deceit. There are other roads to the soul. There are other options of passion. You have so much left to learn. Want to save your men from the fire? Show me that you're willing to burn.
