Happens Quotes (page 182)

He had no conscious knowledge of death, but like every animal of the Wild, he possessed the instinct of death. To him it stood as the greatest of hurts. It was the very essence of the unknown; it was the sum of the terrors of the unknown, the one culminating and unthinkable catastrophe that could happen to him, about which he knew nothing and about which he feared everything. Jack London
I like to think of what happens to characters in good novels and stories as knots--things keep knotting up. And by the end of the story--readers see an unknotting of sorts. Not what you expect, not the easy answers you get on TV, not wash and wear philosophies, but a reproduction of believable, emotional experiences. Terry McMillan
I watched my life as if it were happening to someone else. My son died. And I was hurt, but I watched my hurt, and even relished it, a little, for now I could write a real death, a true loss. My heart was broken by my dark lady, and I wept, in my room, alone; but while I wept, somewhere inside I smiled. Neil Gaiman
Men forget everything; women remember everything. That's why men need instant replay in sports. They've already forgotten what's happened. Rita Rudner
Suzanne Collins quote: "Sometimes things happen to people and they're not equipped to..."
Sometimes things happen to people and they're not equipped to deal with them. Suzanne Collins
William S. Burroughs quote: "Whatever happened to God's justice? I am convinced that God..."
Whatever happened to God's justice? I am convinced that God exist and God is one asshole. William S. Burroughs
Isabel Allende quote: "Sometimes I have these premonitions and I don't forget them,..."
Sometimes I have these premonitions and I don't forget them, so I will be prepared when they happen. Isabel Allende
When the girl sitting at the next table looked away from a moment, Dirk leaned over and took her coffee. He knew that he was perfectly safe doing this because she would simply not be able to believe that this had happened. Douglas Adams
F. Scott Fitzgerald quote: "I want to live where things happen on a big scale."
I want to live where things happen on a big scale. F. Scott Fitzgerald
I shall return, doubt it not. Such love as ours was not created to remain unfulfilled. Whatever may happen, believe and trust in me, as I shall in you, and keep the remembrance of me in your heart without sadness and without regret. Baroness Orczy
And so, when a person meets the half that is his very own, whatever his orientation, whether it's to young men or not, then something wonderful happens: the two are struck from their senses by love, by a sense of belonging to one another, and by desire, and they don't want to be separated from one another, not even for a moment. Plato
There is a difference between this world and the world of Faery, but it is not immediately perceptible. Everything that is here is there, but the things that are there are better than those that are here. All things that are bright are there brighter. There is more gold in the sun and more silver in the moon of that land. There is more scent in the flowers, more savour in the fruit. There is more comeliness in the men and more tenderness in the women. Everything in Faery is better by this one... James Stephens
Dave Eggers quote: "This had happened to him before - in an effort to disappear,..."
This had happened to him before - in an effort to disappear, he had made himself more conspicuous. Dave Eggers
But in every family there are bad people, and weak people, and some people who can't or won't withstand the trials of life, and who fail spectacularly. Their guardian angels weep; demons beholding them dance for joy. But only The Maker decides what ultimately happens to them. Anne Rice
[Ron Paul's politics] is just savagery, and it goes across the board; in fact, this holds for the whole libertarian ideology. I mean, it may sound nice on the surface, but when you think it through, it's just a call for corporate tyranny; takes away any barrier to corporate tyranny. Its a step towards the worst... but its all academic 'cause the business world would never permit it to happen, since it would destroy the economy. I mean, they can't live without a powerful 'nanny-state'. They... Noam Chomsky
