Happens Quotes (page 198)

Ah, Harry, how often this happens, even between the best of friends! Each of us believes that what he has to say is much more important than anything the other might have to contribute! J. K. Rowling
You may not believe in magic but something very strange is happening at this very moment. Your head has dissolved into thin air and I can see the rhododendrons through your stomach. It's not that you are dead or anything dramatic like that, it is simply that you are fading away and I can't even remember your name. Leonora Carrington
At some point in life the world's beauty becomes enough. You don't need to photograph, paint or even remember it. It is enough. No record of it needs to be kept and you don't need someone to share it with or tell it to. When that happens? that letting go? you let go because you can. Toni Morrison
It's subjunctive history. You know, the subjunctive? The mood used when something may or may not have happened. When it is imagined. Alan Bennett

What is interesting and important happens mostly in secret, in places where there is no power. Michael Ondaatje
So much about life in a global economy feels as though it has passed beyond the individual's control--what happens to our jobs, to the prices at the gas station, to the vote in the legislature. But somehow food still feels a little different. We can still decide, every day, what we're going to put into our bodies, what sort of food chain we want to participate in. We can, in other words, reject the industrial omelet on offer and decide to eat another. Michael Pollan
Sometimes two people will regard each other over a gulf too wide to ever be bridged, and know immediately what could have happened, and that it never will. Roger Ebert
Freedom is not defined by safety. Freedom is defined by the ability of citizens to live without government interference. Government cannot create a world without risks, nor would we really wish to live in such a fictional place. Only a totalitarian society would even claim absolute safety as a worthy ideal, because it would require total state control over its citizen? lives. Liberty has meaning only if we still believe in it when terrible things happen and a false government security blanket... Ron Paul
Michel de Montaigne quote: "[Marriage] happens as with cages: the birds without despair to..."
[Marriage] happens as with cages: the birds without despair to get in, and those within despair of getting out. Michel de Montaigne
In theory, sure, Gregor could still go home. Pack up his three-year-old sister, Boots, get his mom out of the hospital, where she was recovering from the plague, and have his bat, Ares, fly them back up to the laudry room of their appartment building in New York City. Ares, his bond, who saved his life numerous times and who had had nothing but suffering since he had met Gregor. He tried to imagine the parting. "Well, Ares, it's been great. I'm heading home now. I know by leaving I'm... Suzanne Collins
It was a joy! Words weren't dull, words were things that could make your mind hum. If you read them and let yourself feel the magic, you could live without pain, with hope, no matter what happened to you. Charles Bukowski
Sidney Sheldon quote: "Life is like a novel. It's filled with suspense. You have no..."
Life is like a novel. It's filled with suspense. You have no idea what is going to happen until you turn the page. Sidney Sheldon
Frances Hodgson Burnett quote: "Hang in there. It is astonishing how short a time it can take..."
Hang in there. It is astonishing how short a time it can take for very wonderful things to happen. Frances Hodgson Burnett
Lou Holtz quote: "Life is 10 percent what happens to you and ninety percent how..."
Life is 10 percent what happens to you and ninety percent how you respond to it. Lou Holtz
