Madeleine L'Engle quote: "Time exists so that everything doesn't happen at once."--Mrs...."
Time exists so that everything doesn't happen at once."--Mrs. Murry Madeleine L'Engle
...I felt instinctively that toilets - as also telephones - happened to be for reasons unfathomable, the points where my destiny was liable to catch. We all have such fateful objects - it may be a recurrent landscape, a number in another - carefully chosen by the gods to attract events of special significance for us: here shall John always stumble; there shall Jane's heart always break. Vladimir Nabokov
His life has been lived, so far, within narrow limits and he is quite nave about most kinds of experience; he fears it and yet is wildly eager for it. To reassure himself, he converts it into epic myth as fast as it happens. He is forever play-acting. Christopher Isherwood
Kate DiCamillo quote: "And so he was reading the story as if it were a spell and the..."
And so he was reading the story as if it were a spell and the words of it, spoken aloud, could make magic happen. Kate DiCamillo
I knew damn well I would never be a movie star. It's too hard; and if you are intelligent, it's too embarrassing. My complexes aren't inferior enough: being a movie star and having a big fat ego are supposed to go hand-in-hand; actually, it's essential not to have any ego at all. I don't mean I'd mind being rich and famous. That's very much on my schedule, and someday I'll try and get around to it; but if it happens, I'd like to have my ego, tagging along. I want to still be me when I wake up... Truman Capote
Sometimes the little times you don't think are anything while they're happening turn out to be what marks a whole period of your life. Andy Warhol
It is necessary that the weakness of the powerless is transformed into a force capable of announcing justice. For this to happen, a total denouncement of fatalism is necessary. We are transformative beings and not beings for accommodation. Paulo Freire
Carl Jung quote: "I am not what happened to me, I am what I choose to become."
I am not what happened to me, I am what I choose to become. Carl Jung
I believe a strong woman may be stronger than a man, particularly if she happens to have love in her heart. I guess a loving woman is indestructible. John Steinbeck
Marjane Satrapi quote: "I had so many professions before. I didn't want to do this..."
I had so many professions before. I didn't want to do this particularly. It just happened. Marjane Satrapi
Vladimir Nabokov quote: "I happen to be the kind of author who in starting to work on a..."
...I happen to be the kind of author who in starting to work on a book has no purpose than to get rid of that book.... Vladimir Nabokov
Alexandra Ripley quote: "Should-haves solve nothing. It's the next thing to happen that..."
Should-haves solve nothing. It's the next thing to happen that needs thinking about. Alexandra Ripley
Gosh, what a gripping story. You must have been simply terrified. Meanwhile we went to Godric's Hollow and, let's think, what happened there, Harry? Oh yes, You-Know-Who's snake turned up, it nearly killed both of us, and then You-Know-Who himself arrived and missed us by about a second. Imagine losing fingernails, Harry! That really puts our sufferings into perspective, doesn't it? J. K. Rowling
The real trouble is that 'kindness' is a quality fatally easy to attribute to ourselves on quite inadequate grounds. Everyone feels benevolent if nothing happens to be annoying him at the moment. Thus a man easily comes to console himself for all his other vices by a conviction that 'his heart's in the right place' and 'he wouldn't hurt a fly,' though in fact he has never made the slightest sacrifice for a fellow creature. We think we are kind when we are only happy: it is not so easy, on the... C. S. Lewis
Taylor Swift quote: "Don't cry because it's over, smile because it happened."
Don't cry because it's over, smile because it happened. Taylor Swift
