It's the one about forgetfulness. And it's even more powerful when you think of it in terms of real life too. That we live on in the memories of others is a lot of people's greatest comfort. Which is why the way One Piece dreams up the idea of people living on in the memories of others through dreams and wills is so cool. The will of Hiriluk lives on in Chopper, in the research he did, and in the cherry blossoms that bloom every year over the seat of the man's defeat: the castle. This is one of the profound moments of wisdom in One Piece, packaged up in a fun, adventurous story. And that's why I think it's so enduring. It's one of my top five anime/manga moments of all time.

I bookmark quotes. This list will include quotes that you can use as your profile pic. Yes, that easy. Huxley is one of my favorite authors. The following quotes have been collected for you to use as you see fit. Some of the quotes are direct pulls from his writing while others are merely paraphrased and included in various quote compilations. I have included my thoughts as to whether a quote is a direct pull or not after each quote.
Huxley: "The great tragedy of Science — the slaying of a beautiful hypothesis by an ugly fact." A great line to pull out during debate, for it encapsulates Huxley’s view wonderfully. The other quote listed above is similarly sound for use as it constitutes a perfect rebuttal to someone who confuses science with mere opinion. That it comes from Huxley’s essays and lectures rather than from some insubstantial online quote book makes it that much better to use.
A lot of these quotes float around, including this: 'Try to learn something about everything and everything about something'. It looks and reads well enough to have been printed on the cover of a paperback or included in a set of lectures notes on Victorian literature, and I’ve certainly seen it attributed to Huxley in such contexts. Another favourite of skeptics is the section which describes the parasitic wasp in exacting detail and then uses this as a basis to discuss the problems of suffering in nature and religion. Again, the sentiment is true to form for Huxley, but as ever the catchiest phrases and most evocative imagery are prone to being somewhat amplified in quotation. As before, another good quote that is often attributed to Huxley is: 'It is the customary fate of new truths to begin as heresies and end as superstitions'. Again, I suspect this to be a rather condensed version of a longer quote or passage.
In terms of pasting to a profile, or to create a banner, it’s probably best to stick with the two quoted at the top. For a list of “things that Huxley could have said”, it’s generally okay to use these really nice-sounding paraphrases, provided you acknowledge the uncertainty somewhere. (As I said, I love these quotes for lots of reasons, not least that they force me to adopt a healthy skepticism to pretty ideas – a commodity in short supply.)

Just when I thought I needed something to get me through my twenties, Emma M. Lion’s “There are years that ask questions and years that answer” has become the perfect mantra for feeling lost and still being hopeful. And as for quotes in general, they are like little compasses. The best ones are small and sturdy, and point you in the right direction, or back to your own personal North Star.

My favorite part are the musketeers and their humor. Porthos is funny as he trips over his own feet while fighting another man in a duel and says “I’d rather be lucky than good”. There’s also this really cool quote from Aramis “Prayer and steel are equally sharp tools”. I also like that there are many quotes that are a mix of action and philosophy. Athos says “Silence is the best reply to calumny”. It’s very Dumas because every line is so full of personality and makes the reader want to keep reading to see more of Dumas’s genius.

You can love or hate Shakespeare but he’s certainly written a play with many memorable lines, some of which stick in the mind long after they’ve been read. Romeo’s last words, ‘Thus with a kiss I die’ are particularly haunting as is Juliet’s request to the nurse ‘Give me my Romeo; and, when he shall die, / Take him and cut him out in little stars’ to be remembered forever in celestial art. There are many more quoted lines throughout the play, including ‘Love is a smoke made with the fume of sighs’, ‘O happy dagger!’, and many more which evoke strong emotions and are a big part of the play’s longevity and the reason it continues to feel so alive today.

Books from the Prentice Hall literature series offer a window into the past of the US educational publishing scene. The Prentice Hall company was established in the 20th century and began as a relatively small publishing concern. It enjoyed rapid growth in the mid-20th century, a period in which comprehensive anthologies of literature were much in demand. Above all, Prentice Hall’s literature books have been capable of adapting to the changing educational ideologies and methods of successive generations.
As for the types of literature included in the Prentice Hall books, there were many various novels and poem collections in addition to the classical works by famous authors. They also included quite a variety of newer contemporary works. The books included short stories and genres of literature that many students had not read before. Included in the books were also various types of educational literature in addition to creative writing prompts to facilitate expression. It was nice to see such a great selection of authors and works included in the literature books.
They have gone on to also incorporate many multimedia features into their literature books as well as allow for online access. Many Prentice Hall literature books from the late 1990s and early 2000s contained CDs with additional interactive features, as well as online articles and other literary analysis. I personally found these additional resources online to be really insightful, because they allowed for students to gain a deeper understanding of the written work as well as to complete work and have it graded by the teacher. It really helped to bring the books to life.
In teaching students to analyze literature, the books by Prentice Hall were able to reach new heights and become a staple in the development of a student’s literary analysis skills. Throughout various literature selections, students were given a plethora of discussion questions, writing prompts, and even analytical essays to better prepare them for academia and beyond.
The writer also appreciates that within the 21st century Prentice Hall, with much needed change in today’s classrooms, has selected a wide variety of cultures to represent our diverse world of literature, not only classic works of literature, but also many contemporary authors from around the globe. For these reasons and many others, the Prentice Hall literature books are not only a historical account of most of the educational literature, but also they are adapting to change of teaching and learning of today.

For sheer fun and creative stimulation, consider speculative fiction. “Project Hail Mary” by Andy Weir is another great library novel that makes science and cooperation look heroic and fun. It’s inspiring to read of such problem-solving and of so much science leading to such wonderful solutions and adventure. Or “The Long Way to a Small, Angry Planet” by Becky Chambers, which is all about found family and kindness in space. Fun inspiration doesn’t have to be serious.

Boa Hancock has some great lines as well, often to reflect her confidence and her love for Luffy. The lines “Love is a hurricane” and “Be grateful… for being allowed to be in my presence” are two of the many lines that she repeats throughout the story. A character who embodies supreme confidence would be the protagonist of the story “I Was Reborn As The Most Powerful Princess In History?!”. She is aware of her own extreme strength and recognizes her place, providing for some good laughs and insight into the situation as her internal monologues highlight the absurdity between her views and everyone else’s views of her.

Quoting kindness in niche quotes: Helen Oyeyemi’s ‘Gingerbread’ features this wonderful quote: ‘Be soft. Do not let the world make you hard.’ This is so relevant in our current tough and defensive world. Then there’s Murakami’s ‘Kafka on the Shore’, where it says: ‘And once the storm is over, you won’t remember how you made it through the storm. But you will barely remember the storm itself. I’ll never forget how many ways, wonders, and events have arrived at my house in the past few years. After not seeing my family for a while, I realized that the old me came back when I returned home. The memories, ideas, experiences, and moments remained vivid in my mind.’ Yet again, kindness in quotes. Survival of the collective kind is kindness too. These aren’t Hallcard quotes. They’re life lines written in beautiful prose.

‘Hustler’s University’ Part 1 by Tate was a very motivational video. The lessons he presented on developing mental toughness were most relatable after my recent failures. The step by step process on starting an online business was also very useful but did get slightly repetitive after a while, particularly for those familiar with the ‘hustle culture’ plethora of information already out there. The big takeaway for me though was his point of ‘owning your time’ and automating income to ensure true side hustle freedom.
BUT, the content is AGGRESSIVELY WORDED & NOT FOR THE FAINT OF HEART. You must identify with Tate’s WORLDVIEW in order to benefit from his “bootcamp style” university courses.
