- "Look how your children grow up. Taught from their earliest infancy to curb their love natures — restrained at every turn! Your blasting lies would even blacken a child’s kiss. Little girls must not be tomboyish, must not go barefoot, must not climb trees, must not learn to swim, must not do anything they desire to do which Madame Grundy has decreed “improper.” Little boys are laughed at as effeminate, silly girl-boys if they want to make patchwork or play with a doll. Then when they grow up, “Oh! Men dont care for home or children as women do!” Why should they, when the deliberate effort of your life has been to crush that nature out of them. “Women can’t rough it like men.” Train any animal, or any plant, as you train your girls, and it wont be able to rough it either." - Voltairine de Cleyre
- "Actually, this seems to be the basic need of the human heart in nearly every great crisis - a good hot cup of coffee." - Alexander King
- "What you've done for ginger people, I can't put it into words." - Rupert Grint[to J.K. Rowling]
- "Man. Because he sacrifices his health in order to make money. Then he sacrifices money to recuperate his health. And then he is so anxious about the future that he does not enjoy the present; the result being that he does not live in the present or the future; he lives as if he is never going to die, and then dies having never really lived." - Dalai Lama
- "I think that if I ever have kids, and they are upset, I won’t tell them that people are starving in China or anything like that because it wouldn’t change the fact that they were upset. And even if somebody else has it much worse, that doesn’t really change the fact that you have what you have." - The Perks of Being a Wallflower
- "I dream of lost vocabularies that might express some of what we no longer can." - Jack Gilbert
- "You think training's hard? Try losing." - Nike
- "Places are mostly made out of people." - John Green
- "Live the full life of the mind, exhilarated by new ideas, intoxicated by the Romance of the unusual." - Ernest Hemingway
- "Someday you're gonna laugh about this. I'm gonna laugh about it today." - Gabe Duncan from Good Luck Charlie
- "I never approve, or disapprove, of anything now. It is an absurd attitude to take toward life. We are not sent into the world to air our moral prejudices. I never take any notice of what common people say, and I never interfere with what charming people do. If a personality fascinates me, whatever mode of expression that personality selects is absolutely delightful to me." - The Picture of Dorian Gray[Lord Henry]
- "I am selfish, private and easily bored. Will this be a problem?" - A Study In Emerald[Neil Gaiman]

- "'Don't you want to join us?' I was recently asked by an acquaintance when he ran across me alone after midnight in a coffeehouse that was already almost deserted. 'No, I don't,' I said." - Franz Kafka
- "I want to learn more and more to see as beautiful what is necessary in things; then I shall be one of those who make things beautiful." - Friedrich Nietzsche
- "Remembering I’ll be dead soon is the most important tool I’ve ever encountered to help me make the big choices in life. All external expectations, pride, fear of embarrassment or failure-these things just fall away in the face of death, leaving only what’s truly important. Remembering that you are going to die is the best way I know to avoid the trap of thinking you have something to lose. You’re already naked. There is no reason not to follow your heart. Stay hungry. Stay foolish." - Steve Jobs
- "Either we have no dreams or our dreams are interesting. We should learn to arrange our waking life the same way: nothing or interesting." - Friedrich Nietzsche
- "I have such a bright future. I can't just throw it all away. Strippers await." - Allane
