“I have always known a thing before it happens.”

“Somehow, something always happens just before things get to the very worst. It is as if Magic did it. If I could only just remember that always. The worse thing never quite comes.”

“Everything known before it happens; and headlines twice the size of the events.”

“The interconnectedness of all things: Buddhists have always known it and physicists now confirm it. Nothing that happens is an isolated event, it only appears to be. The more we judge and label it, the more we isolate it.”

“Things do not always happen the way I would have wanted, and it's best that I get used to that.”

“I own that I have known greater misfortunes in life than that a young gentleman and lady of twenty should have to wait a twelve-month before they were married; but every person considers their own the worst that ever happened…”

“How many things have to happen to you before something occurs to you?”

“I was a new person then, I knew things I had not known before, I knew things that you can know only if you have been through what I had just been through.”

“When I was fifteen, an extraordinary and terrible thing happened, and there was only Before and After.”

“But I should have known that it doesn't take that long for change to happen - it takes a second.”
