… I think that pretty much stands for most negative things in life. It really just takes one time.
Philip Defranco, The PDS
I don’t need 70 minutes of porn. The trailer will do. 70 minutes of porn is as useful to me as being locked in a room with 100 pounds of ice cream and no refrigerator. There’s no point. There’s just too much.
Philip Defranco, The PDS 
Once you go white, you always stay tight! … I think I just insulted myself.
Kev, Shameless
Does it ever make sense for a leader to be cynical?
Dan Brown
There’s no drum roll or trumpet that goes off when you make the biggest decision of your life.
Beyoncè, Life is but a Dream
She’s like a carnival game, you know? It all seems so simple but you can’t get the ring on the bottle because it’s fucking rigged. So you try and try and try until you drive yourself nuts. Then finally when you walk away you realize you didn’t even want the crappy prize to begin with. I realize that’s what Hannah is. A giant Tweety doll I would’ve been stuck carrying around the carnival all night.
Adam, Girls 2.6
Lamb says somewhere that if, of three friends (A, B, and C), A should die, then B loses not only A but “A’s part in C,” while C loses not only A but “A’s part in B.” In each of my friends there is something that only some other friend can fully bring out. By myself I am not large enough to call the whole man into activity; I want other lights than my own to show all of his facets… Hence true Friendship is the least jealous of loves…We possess each friend not less but more as the number of those with whom we share him increases.
C.S. Lewis, The Four Loves
Much practical and personal knowledge cannot and need not be put into words.
Aristotle, Nicomachean Ethics 
Books are the ultimate Dumpees: put them down and they’ll wait for you forever; pay attention to them and they always love you back.
John Green, An Abundance of Katherines 
You can love someone so much, he thought. But you can never love people as much as you can miss them.
John Green, An Abundance of Katherines 
The whole pleasure of being a human is in being stupid but learning to be less stupid together.
John Green
We don’t talk anymore
And that’s alright by me ‘cause I don’t know who you are
Or who you expected me to be
The Spill Canvas, From: San Francisco, Gestalt (2012)
Time is like a rubber band.
Adam, Girls 
Young men’s love then lies
Not truly in their hearts, but in their eyes.
Friar Lawrence, Romeo and Juliet
You know the difference between jealousy and envy, Christian? Jealousy is when you realize someone has something you want, you just have to work hard to get it. Envy is when you realize someone has something you can never have, no matter how hard you try.
