15 quotes that give me comfort

It's hard times for a lot of people right now. So here are 15 quotes that give me comfort.
  1. "If you're going through Hell, keep going."—Winston Churchill
  2. "You’re braver than you believe and stronger and smarter than you think."—Winnie-the-Pooh
  3. "Happiness can be found, even in the darkest of times, if one only remembers to turn on the light." — Dumbledore
  4. "Frodo: I can’t do this, Sam.                                                                                                      Sam: I know. It’s all wrong. By rights we shouldn’t even be here. But we are. It’s like in the great stories, Mr. Frodo. The ones that really mattered. Full of darkness and danger they were. And sometimes you didn’t want to know the end. Because how could the end be happy. How could the world go back to the way it was when so much bad had happened. But in the end, it’s only a passing thing, this shadow. Even darkness must pass. A new day will come. And when the sun shines it will shine out the clearer. Those were the stories that stayed with you. That meant something. Even if you were too small to understand why. But I think, Mr. Frodo, I do understand. I know now. Folk in those stories had lots of chances of turning back only they didn’t. Because they were holding on to something.                                                                Frodo: What are we holding on to, Sam?                                                                                  Sam: That there’s some good in this world, Mr. Frodo. And it’s worth fighting for."—J.R.R. Tolkien
  5. "It is possible to commit no mistakes and still lose. That is not a weakness. That is life."—Jean-Luc Picard
  6. "Mirror Spock: One man cannot summon the future.                                                              Kirk: But one man can change the present."—Star Trek
  7. "Tracey: When you can't run, you crawl. And when you can't crawl, when you can't do that… Zoe: … you find someone to carry you."—Firefly
  8. "If you can't make your own neurotransmitters, store bought is okay."—Ina Garten
  9. "Nevertheless, she persisted."—In regards to Elizabeth Warren
  10. "There are darknesses in life and there are lights, and you are one of the lights, the light of all lights."—Bram Stroker
  11. "Dark and difficult times lie ahead. Soon we must all face the choice between what is right and what is easy. But remember this: You have friends here. You're not alone."—Dumbledore
  12. "To be good, and to do good, is all we have to do.;—John Adams
  13. "It is important,” Dumbledore said, “to fight, and fight again, and keep fighting, for only then could evil be kept at bay, though never quite eradicated."—Dumbledore
  14. "Fairytales are more than true: Not because they tell us that dragons exist, but because they tell us that dragons can be beaten."—Neil Gaiman
  15. "Every great dream begins with a dreamer. Always remember you have within you the strength, the patience and the passion to reach for the stars, to change the world."—Harriet Tubman

15 facts I learned from a random Wikipedia article

Original prompt: click on "Random Wikipedia Article" and write about whatever comes up (you can try 3 times and pick your favorite). For the record, I got Alejandro Estivill , Fencing at the 2011 Pan American Games – Women's épée , and Benjamin F. Jonas . I chose Benjamin F. Jonas because it was the longest of the three entries and it had a photo. He was born in Kentucky, moved to Illinois as a kid, and went to college and spent the rest of his life in Louisiana Jonas's father was a merchant and lawyer His father knew Lincoln (like they were real buds) Despite this, Jonas sided with the confederacy Not only did he side with the confederacy, but he joined the Confederate army and rose to the rank of major He went to University of Louisiana (now Tulane) Jonas was Jewish (I didn't know there were Jewish senators who served the Confederacy) He was the second Jewish U.S. Senator from Louisiana and the third Jewish Senator overall Jonas was the first Ashkenazi Jewish US...

Origin story or first issue of a superhero whose super power is geometry

Arya sat in history class and was bored. She longed to get to geometry, where things made more sense. She liked geometry so much that she had joined the math team to be able to do it more. Okay, there was also the extra time with her friends who loved math as much as she did, but some of the appeal was just the math itself. Finally the bell rang and Arya had four minutes to get to her geometry class. She passed right by the chemistry class next door where her least favorite teacher was conducting experiments. He needed to be more careful, thought Arya. The teacher had once exploded a glass beaker and not on purpose. Arya took her seat and excitedly pulled out her notebook. It was her favorite color: hot pink. She assigned her notebook and folder colors in ways that felt right to her. And since geometry was her favorite subject, she made her notebook and folder for it her favorite color. As the teacher started to go over the most common mistakes from the last quiz, Arya could've swo...

Color palette

Original prompt: "Google "color palette," pick one, and write something inspired by it." I actually Googled "color palette public domain" to be sure I could use it and found the image on this post. I used the "floral" section for my inspiraiton. The soft sunlight somehow didn't dim the shine of the fireflies. Such it was in the fae realm. Fern loved this time of day in the faewild where it wasn't quite day, but it was far from night. Fern frolicked alone in the glade as she was want to do. It didn't matter to her that her laughter carried itself alone on the breeze; she was content. She wasn't sure how long she'd been alone as she watched the suns begin to set, but it was pleasant in its own way. But then, she heard a noise. It wasn't the noise of leaves on the wind or twigs snapping from some comforting creature. It was the noise of someone approaching with grim determination. Fern wasn't sure how to ready herself to ...
