She was here on earth to make sense of its wild enchantment and to call each thing by its right name, or, if this were not within her power, then,... Boris Pasternak

Joelle cuts off his interjection and says that but that her trouble with it is that ‘But For the Grace of God’ is a subjunctive, a counterfactual, she says and can make sense only when introducing a conditional clause, like e. g. ‘But For the Grace of God I would have died on Molly Notkin’s bathroom floor,’ so that an indicative transposition like […] she says, literally senseless, and regardless of whether she hears it or not it’s meaningless. David Foster Wallace
Paulo Coelho quote: "The universe only makes sense when we have someone to share..."
The universe only makes sense when we have someone to share our feelings with. Paulo Coelho
No good has ever come from feeling guilty, neither intelligence, policy, nor compassion. The guilty do not pay attention to the object but only to themselves, and not even to their own interests, which might make sense, but to their anxieties. Paul Goodman
I'm not sure this will make sense to you but I felt as though I'd turned around to look in a different direction so that I no longer faced backward toward the past but forward toward the future. And now the question confronting me was this: What would the future be Arthur Golden
