We’d turn our lives into a terrible adventure. A true-life horror story with a happy ending. A trial we’d survive to talk about. Chuck Palahniuk
Yes, my mind was wandering. I wished I were there with someone who could bring peace to my heart someone with whom I could spend a little time without being afraid that i would lose him the next day. With that reassurance, the time would pass more slowly. We could be silent for a while because we'd know we had the rest of our lives together for conversation.

People today have forgotten they're really just a part of nature. Yet, they destroy the nature on which our lives depend. They always think they can make something better. Especially scientists.

That it was... Jack Finney
I think reality is thin, you know, thin as lake ice after a thaw, and we fill our lives with noise and light and motion to hide that thinness from ourselves. Stephen King
Everything will happen as was written by the Lord," replied the prophet. "There are moments when tribulations occur in our lives, and we cannot avoid them. But they are there for some reason."What reason?"That is a question we cannot answer before, or even during the trials. Only when we have overcome them do we understand why they were there. Paulo Coelho
Sean O'Casey quote: "Every action of our lives touches on some chord that..."
Every action of our lives touches on some chord that willvibrate in eternity. Sean O'Casey
We recognize that all knowledge is mediated through the body and that feeling is a profound source of information about our lives Audre Lorde
Sometime we are lucky enough to know that our lives have been changed, to discard the old, embrace the new, and run headlong down an immutable course Jacques Yves Cousteau
Giacomo Casanova quote: "There is no such thing as destiny. We ourselves shape our lives."
There is no such thing as destiny. We ourselves shape our lives. Giacomo Casanova
Love - true love - is a precious thing. It is painful, uncomfortable, makes fools of us all, but it is what breathes meaning and color and purpose into our lives. Kate Mosse
A citizen walking through the airport today is bombarded with 1984-style propaganda messages that are designed to make us fear some amorphous threat and also be suspicious of others. The government designs these messages to make us feel dependent and heavily lorded over in every aspect of our lives. These messages are becoming ever more pervasive, hitting us even in grocery stores when we are shopping. Ron Paul
All our lives are symbols. Everything we do is part of a pattern we have atleast some say in. The strong make their own patterns and influence otherpeople's, the weak have their courses mapped out for them. The weak and theunlucky, and the stupid.-The Wasp Factory Iain Banks
