Leo Tolstoy

I do not believe that things happen accidentally; I believe you earn them. Madeleine Albright
Shirley's gonna be pissed," Gazarra said. "She hates when I get shot."

The bullet ricocheted off the elevator wall and lodged in Gazarra's right buttock. Janet Evanovich

No Angie, it's instant. Like when someone trips in the cafeteria and you're laughing so hard milk comes out of your nose, the guy next to you is laughing so hard he accidentally farts. BOOM! Friends for life! George Lopez
I was from birth an object of mild ridicule because of my movements - especially the perpetual flutter of my hands - and my voice. Like the voices of a number of homosexuals, this is an insinuating blend of eagerness and caution in which even such words as "hello" and "goodbye" seem not so much uttered as divulged. But these natural outward and visible signs of inward and spiritual disgrace were not enough. People could say that I was ignorant of them or was trying without success to hide... Quentin Crisp
Anna Akhmatova quote: "I seem to myself, as in a dream, Am accidental guest in this..."
I seem to myself, as in a dream, Am accidental guest in this dreadful body. Anna Akhmatova
Sometimes one feels rage and despair that one should know so little the people one loves. one is heartbroken at the impossibility of understanding them, of getting right down into their hearts . sometimes, accidentally or under the influence of some emotion, one gets a glimpse of some emotion , one gets a glimpse of those inner selves , and one despairs how ignorant one is of that inner self and how far away one is from it. W. Somerset Maugham
But it seems she’d wanted children after all, because when she was told she’d been accidentally sterilized she could feel all the light leaking out of her. Margaret Atwood
That the universe was formed by a fortuitous concourse of atoms, I will no more believe than that the accidental jumbling of the alphabet would fall into a most ingenious treatise of philosophy. Jonathan Swift
Dag Hammarskjold quote: "This accidental meeting of possibilities calls itself I. I..."
This accidental meeting of possibilities calls itself I. I ask: what am I doing here? And, at once, this I becomes unreal. Dag Hammarskjold
She loved with so much passion as she loved with ignorance. She did not know whether it were good or evil, beneficent or dangerous, necessary or accidental, eternal or transitory, permitted or prohibited: she loved. Victor Hugo
Touch. It is touch that is the deadliest enemy of chastity, loyalty, monogamy, gentility with its codes and conventions and restraints. By touch we are betrayed and betray others ... an accidental brushing of shoulders or touching of hands ... hands laid on shoulders in a gesture of comfort that lies like a thief, that takes, not gives, that wants, not offers, that awakes, not pacifies. When one flesh is waiting, there is electricity in the merest contact. Wallace Stegner
