Happening Quotes (page 132)

I just got a rather nasty shock. In looking for something or other I came across the fact that one of my cats is about to be nine years old, and that another of them will shortly thereafter be eight; I have been labouring under the delusion they were about five and six. And yesterday I happened to notice in the mirror that while I have long since grown used to my beard being very grey indeed, I was not prepared to discover that my eyebrows are becoming noticeably shaggy. I feel the tomb is... Edward Gorey
Mitch Albom quote: "Something is always happening somewhere."
Something is always happening somewhere. Mitch Albom
A lie was something you told because you were mean or a coward. A story was something you made up out of something that might have happened. Only you didn't tell it like it was, you told it like you thought it should have been. Betty Smith
Science has eliminated distance? Melquades proclaimed. ?In a short time, man will be able to see what is happening in any place in the world without leaving his own house. Gabriel Garcia Marquez
Vladimir Nabokov quote: "Don't cry because it's over, smile because it happened."
Don't cry because it's over, smile because it happened. Vladimir Nabokov

Sin and grace, absence and presence, tragedy and comedy, they divide the world between them and where they meet head on, the Gospel happens. Frederick Buechner
All nature has come to expect from God a sense of orderliness. Whatever God does carries with it His fingerprint. And in the world around us His fingerprint of orderliness is evident to anybody who is honest with the facts. If you look at nature, you will discover a mathematical exactness. Without this precision, the entire world would be in utter confusion. One plus one always equals two no matter what part of the universe you happen to be in. And the laws of nature operate in... Aiden Wilson Tozer
People are afraid to pursue their most important dreams, because they feel like that they don't deserve them, or that they'll be unable to achieve them. We, their hearts, become fearful just thinking of loved ones who go away forever, or for treasures that might have been found but were forever hidden in the sands. Because, when these things happen, we suffer terribly. Paulo Coelho
I think I'll stay alive here a bit longer, and see with my own eyes what's going to happen. I can still die after that - it won't be too late. Probably. Haruki Murakami
It was curious how that predestined horror moved in and out of one’s consciousness. There it lay, fixed in future times, preceding death as surely as 99 precedes 100. One could not avoid it, but one could perhaps postpone it: and yet instead, every now and again, by a conscious, wilful act, one chose to shorten the interval before it happened. At this moment there was a quick step on George Orwell
Sue Grafton quote: "Everything happens for a reason, but that doesn't mean there's..."
Everything happens for a reason, but that doesn't mean there's a point. Sue Grafton
He had learned the worst lesson that life can teach - that it makes no sense. And when that happens the happiness is never spontaneous again. It is artificial and, even then, bought at the price of an obstinate estrangement from oneself and one's history. Philip Roth
Quite possibly, in those days, when his temper was more liable to explode into a spot of boots and fists, he might have helped them, just to get it out of his system. But as it happened the wheel turned the other way, toward the thought that two geezers kicking an old cove who was lying on the ground groaning were pox-ridden mucksnipes. So he had waded in and laid it on with a trowel... Terry Prachett
John Steinbeck quote: "Strange things happened to them . . . some bitterly cruel and..."
Strange things happened to them . . . some bitterly cruel and some so beautiful that faith is refired forever. John Steinbeck
