And... Well, as for No. 10, I have something special for this one. This one came from me personally. I had no idea that I had the ability to say this, and was gob-smacked when I said it. My boyfriend asked me a question that I will never forget. It was "What is our purpose?"

10. "We are going to die. That is what the crossroads of our life come to. The peaceful silence, the cold embrace, the wave of relief. I'm not afraid of him, and neither are you. You like to be afraid because it gives you more reason to live your life. That's what everyone says. Me? Well, I've lived in this world long enough to understand that we are going to kill ourselves eventually. We're just doing a slower job of it. We are killing our own home, we are killing our own kind, we are killing our very humanity. To what end? We're all trying to make sense of how life works. Is it War? Is it Peace? Is it Violence? Is it Harmony? We kill each other and many others for a cause that isn't there. So, why are we doing it?

Heh. 'Why.' A question that is often asked of me. Why? Why did they do it? Why did they kill them? Why did they burn down their house? Why did they kill their children? Why are they blowing up innocent people? Why are they laying off jobs? Why are their corporations so greedy?

Don't you see? THIS is life. This what we've been given. The gift of life. The gift to experience the true beauty and tranquil silence of Earth. Living life under Sorrow, To live your life in fear, in misery, in paranoia is to not live at all. Turn off your TV. Walk outside. Swim in a lake at night. Give a homeless man a blanket. Pick up a stray dog or cat, and feed them. Look into your soul-mate's eyes. Walk along a beach. Pick up a stone and put it in your pocket. Many different people have a purpose in life. Not one singular, collective group of people has a purpose.

What is our purpose? The answer is simple.

We don't have one."

~ Jack. S. Healy.

In no particular order and as far as I can recall:

+ A few from literature:
0. Basically, anything from Alice in Wonderland and Through the Looking Glass.

1. "What did Time smell like? Like dust and clocks and people. And if you wondered what Time sounded like it sounded like water running in a dark cave and voices crying and dirt dropping down upon hollow box lids, and rain. And, going further, what did Time look like? Time looked like snow dropping silently into a black room or it looked like a silent film in an ancient theater, one hundred billion faces falling like those New Year balloons, down and down into nothing (...) And tonight (Tomas shoved a hand into the wind outside the truck)tonight you could almost touch Time."
-Ray Bradbury. The martian chronicles.

2. "Thousands of dirty paper butterflies."
-Julio Cortázar describing an old ripped Calendar. Historias de Cronopios y de Famas-

3. "Think about this: when you're given a watch you're given a small flowery hell, a chain of roses, a jail of air. [...] You're not given a watch, you're the given one, you're a gift for the watch in its birthday".
-Julio Cortázar. Manual de Instrucciones-

4. "Yet never may he wreathe his arms around that image of himself. He knows not what he there beholds, but what he sees inflames his longing, and the error that deceives allures his eyes. But why, O foolish boy, so vainly catching at this flitting form? The cheat that you are seeking has no place. Avert your gaze and you will lose your love, for this that holds your eyes is nothing save the image of yourself reflected back to you. It comes and waits with you; it has no life; it will depart if you will only go."
-Publius Ovidius Naso on Narcissus. Metamorphoses.


+A few from western animation and anime:
5. "FABULOUS MAX!"

-Some girls. Aladdin.

9. "Yeah you, fatherfucker!"
-Panty Anarchy. Panty and Stocking with Gaterbelt.

10. "From now on, you should start looking yourself at the mirror everyday, that way you'll live with more people that love you."
-Meme Touwa. Denpa Onna to Seishun Otoko.

11. "Gullible naive, possitively grubby, ditzy and a bit well, um, vague! Plus, I believe, getting kinda chubby."
-Mother Gothel. Tangled.

12. "It's not my fault (Mea culpa!)/ If in God's Plan (Mea culpa!)/ He made the devil/ so much stronger/ than a man!"
-Jean Claude Frollo.The Hunchback of Notre Dame.

13. "I thought the elevator was going up, BUT IT WAS GOING DOWN!"/"DOWN YOU SAAAAAAYYYYYY?!"
-A student and Nozomu Itoshiki. Sayonara Zetsubou Sensei.

14. "Little threat my ass! Do you know how worried I was?! [...] They should've spliced you in 3 cm^3 cubes and scorched you up with torches until you were golden brown! I can't believe I exchanged my sister's diary for such loser!"
-Ringo Oginome shows how much she loves a certain boy. Mawaru Penguindrum.

15. "We love you! From your brothers".

"Wiggle your big toe."
"As your leader, I encourage you from time to time, and always in a respectful manner, to question my logic. If you're unconvinced that a particular plan of action I've decided is the wisest, tell me so, but allow me to convince you and I promise you right here and now, no subject will ever be taboo. Except, of course, the subject that was just under discussion. The price you pay for bringing up either my Chinese or American heritage as a negative is... I collect your fucking head. Just like this fucker here. Now, if any of you sons of bitches got anything else to say, now's the fucking time!"

Well, it's a hard language!! The fact that you've got at least a grasp of it is great! I don't understand it myself, I just pulled the text from a Wiki page. I marvel at people who can actually read kanji, since it's so different from our language.
