"Ride" by Cary Brothers

If I told you you were right
Would you take my hand tonight?
If I told you the reasons why
Would you leave your life and ride?

"A Feast for Crows: A Song of Ice and Fire" by George R. R. Martin

My uncle always said that 

it was the sword in a man's hand 

that determined his worth, 

not the one between his legs.

"The Prince" by Niccolò Machiavelli

There is no other way to guard yourself against flattery 

than by making men understand 

that telling you the truth will not offend you.

Edgar Allan Poe

If a poem hasn't ripped apart your soul; you haven't experienced poetry.

Asami Sato, The Legend of Korra

People usually assume that 

I’m daddy's helpless little girl – but 

I can handle myself.

Tina Belcher, Bob’s Burgers (03x21)

I’m no hero. I put my bra on one boob at a time just like everyone else.

Emotions – they are part of our everyday lives.
We use them when we laugh with our friends or watch a funny video,
when we feel nervous about a date or a test grade.
But why do some of us get overwhelmed?
It gets to the point where some of us wish we didn't have certain emotions
because of how much they control us.
I wish I didn't feel sadness, anger, and anxiety but no matter what I do
they are always still there.
It's important to learn to control our emotions, to push them back to
where we can stay composed and not fall apart.
We must have emotions,
if we don't
then
we're
nothing.

Sometimes,
all you can do
is lie in bed,
and hope
to fall asleep
before
you fall apart.

Robert Montgomery

I want to cry in your arms for a hundred years;

I want to wake up in your arms for a hundred years.

Dorothy Parker

By the time you swear you're his,
Shivering and sighing.
And he vows his passion is,
Infinite, undying.
Lady make note of this --
One of you is lying.

Nikita Gill

You fell in love with a storm. Did you really think you would get out unscathed?

Nikita Gill

• You are not his princess; you are your own queen.
• You must understand: they fear you. There is nothing scarier in their minds than a girl who knows the power of her flames.

Nikita Gill

Your heart will fix itself. It's your mind you need to worry about. Your mind where you locked the memories, your mind where you have kept pieces of the ones that hurt you, that still cut through you like shards of glass. Your mind will keep you up at night, make you cry, destroy you over and over again. You need to convince your mind that it has to let go… because your heart already knows how to heal.

Nikita Gill

You are every beautiful thing that has ever happened to me wrapped in a person. You may think you are ordinary, but to me you are as magical as the ocean.

"A Man Without a Country" by Kurt Vonnegut

And I urge you to please notice when you are happy, and exclaim or murmur or think at some point, 'If this isn't nice, I don't know what is.'

Nikita Gill

Some days I am more wolf than woman,
and I am still learning how to stop apologizing for my wild.

Rupi Kaur

i want to apologize to all the women i have called beautiful
before i've called them intelligent or brave
i am sorry i made it sound as though
something as simple as what you're born with
is all you have to be proud of
when you have broken mountains with your wit
from now on i will say things like
you are resilient, or you are extraordinary
not because i don't think you're beautiful
but because i need you to know
you are more than that

Rules by Sun Tzu

• Rule: Know your enemy and know yourself, you will not be imperiled in a hundred battles. 
• Rule: If your opponent is of choleric temperament, seek to irritate him. 
• Rule: If the enemy leaves a door open, you must rush in. 
• Rule: Carefully compare the opposing army with your own, so that you may know where 
• strength is superabundant and where it is deficient. 
• Rule: In the practical art of war, the best thing of all is to take the enemy's country whole and intact. 
• Rule: Secret operations are essential in war; upon them the army relies to make its every move.

Never underestimate the pain of a person, 

because in all honesty, everyone is struggling. 

Some people are just better at hiding it than others.

Egyptian Prayer of Resurrection

Death is but the doorway to new life.
We live today, we shall live again.
In many forms shall we return.

A man is like a cat; 

chase him and he will 

run - sit still and ignore 

him and he'll come 

purring at your feet.

"Paper Towns" by John Green

That's always seemed so ridiculous to me, that people want to be around someone because they're pretty. It's like picking your breakfast cereals based on color instead of taste.

Chaoze One

Manchmal lächel' ich,
denn es ist lächerlich,
Menschen wie dir nachzutrauern
und ich besser' mich.
