Text Quotes
When dreaded outcomes are actually imminent we don’t worry about themwe take action. Seeing lava from the local volcano make its way down the street toward our house does not cause worry it causes running. Also we don’t usually choose imminent events as subjects for our worrying and thus emerges an ironic truth: Often the very fact that you are worrying about something means that it isn’t likely to happen  (Events Quotes) Don’t underestimate the power of events that happened a long time ago. That is the tragic flaw of modern man  (Events Quotes) All the events of your past have formed a lens, or paradigm, through which you see the world. And since no one’s past is exactly like anyone else’s, no two people see alike  (Events Quotes) So much of the past in encapsulated in the odds and ends. Most of us discard more information about ourselves than we ever care to preserve. Our recollection of the past is not simply distorted by our faulty perception of events remembered but skewed by those forgotten. The memory is like twin orbiting stars, one visible, one dark, the trajectory of what’s evident forever affected by the gravity of what’s concealed  (Events Quotes) I’m thinking of how unexpected and yet oddly preordained life can be. Events are upon you in an instant, unforseen and without warning, and often times marked with disappointment and tragedy, but equally often leading to a better understanding of the bittersweet truth of life  (Events Quotes) The conflict between the will to deny horrible events and the will to proclaim them aloud is the central dialectic of psychological trauma  (Events Quotes) We are all fools blessed with the knowledge that certain events will come to pass no matter what path we take to get there. The wise ones follow their angels while they may  (Events Quotes) I began to look at all events and all things as relevant, an opportunity to take or avoid  (Events Quotes) Sometimes my whole life seems like a dream; occasionally I think that someone else has lived it for me. The events and the sensations, the stories and the things that make me what I am in the eyes of other people, the list of facts that make my life... They could be mine, they might be yours  (Events Quotes) Reality is not a function of the event as event, but of the relationship of that event to past, and future, events  (Events Quotes) The avalanche of time sweeps everything before it. Every individual instant hurtles into oblivion, drowning out the obliteration of the instant immediately preceding it, and then it too disappears under the onslaught of the next and the next and the next. When the avalanche has shuddered past for a long enough time, the perception of the past evolves. Distant events grow beyond mere history and take on the weight of legend  (Events Quotes) The history of any nation is not only a succession of events, but also a chain of ideas  (Events Quotes) History is not the accumulation of events of every kind which happened in the past. It is the science of human societies  (Events Quotes) History, as the study of the past, makes the coherence of what happened comprehensible by reducing events to a dramatic pattern and seeming them in a simple form  (Events Quotes) Faithfulness to the truth of history involves far more than a research, however patient and scrupulous, into special facts. Such facts may be detailed with the most minute exactness, and yet the narrative, taken as a whole, may be unmeaning or untrue. The narrator must seek to imbue himself with the life and spirit of the time. He must study events in their bearings near and remote; in the character, habits, and manners of those who took part in them. He must himself be, as it were, a sharer or a spectator of the action he describes  (Events Quotes) Genius and science have burst the limits of space, and few observations, explained by just reasoning, have unveiled the mechanism of the universe. Would it not also be glorious for man to burst the limits of time, and, by a few observations, to ascertain the history of this world, and the series of events which preceded the birth of the human race?  (Events Quotes) When we consider the incidents of former days, and perceive, while reviewing the long line of causes, how the most important events of our lives originated in the most trifling circumstances; how the beginning of our greatest happiness or greatest misery is to be attributed to a delay, to an accident, to a mistake; we learn a lesson of profound humility  (Events Quotes) I had one simple idea about telling friends about arts and technology events. People in the community suggested everything else to us, and that’s our theme. We’re really run by the people who use the site. We just run the infrastructure, and help out with problems  (Events Quotes) Teaching children about the natural world should be seen as one of the most important events in their lives  (Events Quotes) Though we can’t always see it at the time, if we look upon events with some perspective, we see things always happen for our best interests. We are always being guided in a way better than we know ourselves  (Events Quotes) What really matters for me is... the more active role of the observer in quantum physics... According to quantum physics the observer has indeed a new relation to the physical events around him in comparison with the classical observer, who is merely a spectator  (Events Quotes) It is a fact of history and of current events that human beings exaggerate, misinterpret, or wrongly remember events. They have also fabricated pious fraud. Most believers in a religion understand this when examining the claims of other religions  (Events Quotes) When spiritual, metaphysical, material, or immaterial events come into my life, I can only fix them by way of painting  (Events Quotes) There probably is no more important quest in all science than the attempt to understand those very particular events in evolution by which brains worked out that special trick that has enabled them to add to the cosmic scheme of things: color, sound, pain, pleasure, and all the other facets of mental experience  (Events Quotes) Horrible events in life serve as catalysts for major changes in our life perspective and as teaching tools for helping others  (Events Quotes) The collision of hail or rain with hard surfaces, or the song of cicadas in a summer field. These sonic events are made out of thousands of isolated sounds; this multitude of sounds, seen as totality, is a new sonic event  (Events Quotes) What choices are you making in your perception of the events around you? We choose how we view our times. There is a pinch of pessimism in our culture now. Counter it with small acts of optimism. Pick up a piece of litter that isn’t yours. Show some extra grace on the freeway. Give to your food bank. Smile at a child who is in your way. Help someone you know. Help someone you don’t know. The accumulation of small, optimistic acts produces quality in our culture and in your life. Our culture resonates in tense times to individual acts of grace. What’s your choice?  (Events Quotes) Failure is blindness to the strategic element in events; success is readiness for instant action when the opportune moment arrives  (Events Quotes) Most people can look back over the years and identify a time and place at which their lives changed significantly. Whether by accident or design, these are the moments when, because of a readiness within us and a collaboration with events occurring around us, we are forced to seriously reappraise ourselves and the conditions under which we live and to make certain choices that will affect the rest of our lives  (Events Quotes) Over events, we may have some control, but over the law of life’s progress none  (Events Quotes)
