"On being called a sexual slur: "was it typical for men to despise the women who gave them the attention they claimed to want?" I'm struck quite deeply by this quote. To be viewed of as low due to urges and expressions that are supposed to be caring is painful." May 21, 2013 10:53am

"Unique spin on a zombie tale. Told from the viewpoint of the zombies themselves, who thus far remain perfectly cognizant but unable to control their bodies." Dec 03, 2012 03:56pm

"While reading this I realize how frequently I make games out of mundane tasks and I'm left constantly wondering what else and how I can make games for anything else challenging or unpleasant that I face daily." Dec 03, 2012 03:30pm

Anaïs Nin
“If you do not breathe through writing, if you do not cry out in writing, or sing in writing, then don't write, because our culture has no use for it.”
Anaïs Nin

Harry G. Frankfurt
“It is impossible for someone to lie unless he thinks he knows the truth. Producing bullshit requires no such conviction.”
Harry G. Frankfurt, On Bullshit

Terry Pratchett
“Some humans would do anything to see if it was possible to do it. If you put a large switch in some cave somewhere, with a sign on it saying 'End-of-the-World Switch. PLEASE DO NOT TOUCH', the paint wouldn't even have time to dry.”
Terry Pratchett, Thief of Time

A.A. Milne
“Piglet sidled up to Pooh from behind. "Pooh?" he whispered.
"Yes, Piglet?"
"Nothing," said Piglet, taking Pooh's hand. "I just wanted to be sure of you.”
A.A. Milne, Winnie-the-Pooh

Robert A. Heinlein
“Sin lies only in hurting other people unnecessarily. All other "sins" are invented nonsense. (Hurting yourself is not sinful -- just stupid.)”
Robert A. Heinlein, Time Enough for Love
