Walter White's, "I Am the One Who Knocks" Speech as Written by Other Authors.
Jane Austen “I’m the person who gentle folk hear after dinner, what strikes fear in their drawing rooms,” our heroine overheard the balding gentleman in the dark hat and spectacles remark to his astonished wife. “Perhaps we should take to Bath this summer,” the wife replied, changing the subject. Edgar Allan Poe “And so I come, heartily rapping, not at all gently tapping, tapping, upon the chamber door. James Joyce Diseased soul. —You’re the danger?

The Day You Were Sad : Twelve Stories
Jennifer Levin You find out someone loved you once. You find out that a long time ago someone loved you so much he might have died for you. You run into an old college friend on an airplane. You remember he was awfully cute and that you were good friends for awhile—when was it? You feel foolish because you miss him. You remember the day you were sad and he invited you on a drive up the mountain, and you invited your friends to come along. He was always dating some girl or another, so how were you supposed to know? You remember the night he told you that you were beautiful—you were beautiful and you were good—but find you have no idea what else he said that night. You are good, he said. And you said, What? And he looked crushed and refused to say anything else. You attempt to look him up on the Internet, but he has a common name and you’re not sure where he lives. A partial moral inventory leads you to believe you wouldn’t do anything. You wonder again, out loud, why he never asked you out.

We are here to love, and love hard, every chance that we get.
“Is the fear of losing something worth the good that having it brings? I think I just live in such a state of fear of being broken by love that I don’t even trust in it anymore.” Oh love, there are so many things I do not know. So many I will never know. We are here to love, and love hard, every chance that we get. A wise woman once gifted me with those words, at a time when I was asking this exact question. Love lifts us, giddy and hopeful, to the wildest heights. Sometimes love just gets up and leaves, and we are obliterated in its wake. Instead of happily ever after, our sunset ride is followed by a massive love hangover. And so we grow wary. And at our most bruised and tattered, these boundaries are protective and wise and true. We need solitude during that shaky period when, in the eerie empty of 3 a.m. darkness, the floor repeatedly falls out from under us. And the truth is that we don’t need to trust in love. We just need to trust our hearts. Our hearts lead us into love. Please.

17 Animations of Classic Literary Works: From Plato and Shakespeare, to Kafka, Hemingway and Gaiman
Yesterday we featured Piotr Dumala's 2000 animation of Fyodor Dostoyevsky’s classic novel, Crime and Punishment, and it reminded us of many other literary works that have been wonderfully re-imagined by animators -- many that we've featured here over the years. Rather than leaving these wondrous works buried in the archives, we're bringing them back and putting them all on display. And what better place to start than with a foundational text -- Plato's Republic. We were tempted to show you a claymation version of the seminal philosophical work (watch here), but we decided to go instead with Orson Welles' 1973 narration of The Cave Allegory, which features the surreal artistic work of Dick Oden. Staying with the Greeks for another moment ... Eight years before Piotr Dumala tackled Dostoyevsky’s Crime and Punishment, Dumala produced a short animated film based on The Diaries of Franz Kafka. Emily Dickinson's poetry is widely celebrated for its beauty and originality. E.B.
