“It’s probably not just by chance that I’m alone. It would be very hard for a man to live with me, unless he’s terribly strong. And if he’s stronger than I, I’m the one who can’t live with him. … I’m neither smart nor stupid, but I don’t think I’m a run-of-the-mill person. I’ve been in business without being a businesswoman, I’ve loved without being a woman made only for love. The two men I’ve loved, I think, will remember me, on earth or in heaven, because men always remember a woman who caused them concern and uneasiness. I’ve done my best, in regard to people and to life, without precepts, but with a taste for justice.”

“Loki is a combination of mercurial intellectual ability, emotional ambiguity, rakish charm, charisma and provocative wit. He has a wicked inclination to mischief, underneath which is a well of spiritual pain. Both these aspects are central to his depth as a character: his unashamed and perverse delight in creating chaos; and his capacity for raw emotional expression. Underneath the steely cold veneer of his trickster charm is a certain vulnerability and sensitivity – the wounded fragility of an outcast brother and son. His mind IS a box of cats though! But I love him.”

—Tom Hiddleston

“Dear banana-hating, attention-ass grabbing, whore squatting, vocabulary-lacking, rumor-spreading, racist-commenting, righteous blabbing, finger-pointing, standard-bearing, self promoting, crisis-stoking, credential-conscious, dignity-decreasing, embarrassment-admitting, insecurity-producing, social network trolling, blame-throwing backfire expert of a throbbing pain in the arse: please get off your face and eat your emotionally generic point of view off your own genitals without wasting our time and space. Thanks.”

—Alan Navarra ( Dumot )

“I'll take character over reputation. Your character is what you really are, while your reputation is merely what others think you are.”

—AJ Perez 

“Mistakes in the past is what shapes a person to be better. Past experiences helps us learn right from wrong. ”

—Myrtle (PBB)

“I mean that students should not play life or study it merely…but earnestly live it from beginning to end. How could youths better learn to live than by at once trying the experiment of living?” ”

—Henry David Thoreau, Walden

“I am very interested and fascinated by how everyone loves each other, but no one really likes each other.”

—Charlie, Perks of Being a Wallflower
