Happened Quotes

Life happened. In all its banality, brutality, cruelty, unfairness. But also in its beauty, pleasures and delights. Life happened Picture Quote #1

People who lose children have their hearts warped into weird shapes. Some try to deny it has happened. Some pretend it hasn’t. Losing friends or parents is not the same. To lose a child is beyond comprehension. It defies biology. It contradicts the natural order of history and genealogy. It derails common sense. It violates time. It creates a huge, black, bottomless hole that swallows all hope Picture Quote #1

It’s funny, most people can be around someone and then gradually begin to love them and never know exactly when it happened Picture Quote #1

Every single thing that has ever happened in your life is preparing you for a moment that is yet to come Picture Quote #1

Balance out the good things and the bad that have happened in your life and you will have to acknowledge that you are still way ahead. You are unhappy because you have lost those things in which you took pleasure? But you can also take comfort in the likelihood that what is now making you miserable will also pass away Picture Quote #1

Another of the hard things about being in a war, grandchildren, is that although there are times of quiet when the fighting has stopped, you know you will soon be fighting again. Those quiet times give you the chance to think about what has happened. Some of it you would rather not think about, as you remember the pain and the sorrow. You also have time to worry about what will happen when you go into battle again Picture Quote #1

Certainly the heart has always something to tell about the future to those who listen to it. But what does the heart know? Scarce a little of what has already happened Picture Quote #1

Then what shall I write? I can’t just write that this happened then this happened then this happened to boring infinitum. I’ll let my journal grow just like the mind does, just like a tree or beast does, just like life does. Why should a book tell a tale in a dull straight line? Words should wander and meander. They should fly like owls and flicker like bats and slip like cats. They should murmur and scream and dance and sing Picture Quote #1

Houses, like people, have personalities, and, like the personalities of people, they are partly molded by all that has happened to them Picture Quote #1

If time has no beginning and no end, everything is happening, will happen, has happened, at the same moment. All eternity in a single moment Picture Quote #1

It wasn’t not being famous any more, or even not being a recording artist. It was having nobody who needed me, no phones ringing, nothing to do. Because I’m still too young to do nothing. I was only 24 when all that happened. Now, at 40, I feel I’ve got more to give than I ever have Picture Quote #1

When I say that I love you, I don’t say it out of habit or to make conversation. I say it to remind you that you’re the best thing that’s ever happened to me Picture Quote #1

Computer science is one of the worst things that ever happened to either computers or to science Picture Quote #1

I believe that you’re great, that there’s something magnificent about you. Regardless of what has happened to you in your life, regardless of how young or how old you think you might be, the moment you begin to think properly, this something that is within you, this power within you that’s greater than the world, it will begin to emerge. It will take over your life. It will feed you, it will clothe you, it will guide you, protect you, direct you, sustain your very existence. If you let it! Now that is what I know, for sure Picture Quote #1

I think a lot of us can relate to not choosing to face a painful memory, and something that’s a painful past, and wanting to pretend like it never happened Picture Quote #1

I would give anything, anything, to be the man to whom this has not happened. I can not accommodate myself to it. In a lifetime of trying, I can not accommodate myself to it. And now I will have to be that person forever Picture Quote #1

It was not the case that one thing morphed into another, child into woman. You remained the person you were before things happened to you. The person you were when you thought a small cut string could determine the course of a year. You also became the person to whom certain things happened. Who passed into the realm where you no longer questioned the notion of being trapped in one form. You took on that form, that identity, hoped for its recognition from others, hoped someone would love it and you Picture Quote #1

I knew it wasn’t good when it happened. It’s definitely scary. Every now and then, something brings you back to reality Picture Quote #1

Forgiveness... is a willingness to get over what you think should have happened and an acceptance of the reality of what actually happened Picture Quote #1

I think I kind of came out of the womb singing. I think I was, like, born at the hospital, and, you know, popped out, and was singing... I’m not sure really how it happened. I can’t remember a time when I wasn’t singing, or banging a beat on the dinner table Picture Quote #1

Take the stupidest thing you’ve ever done. At least it’s done. It’s over. It’s gone. We can all learn from our mistakes and heal and move on. But it’s harder to learn or heal or move on from something that hasn’t happened; something we don’t know and is therefore indefinable; something which could very easily have been the best thing in our lives, if only we’d taken the plunge, if only we’d held our breath and stood up and done it, if only we’d said yes Picture Quote #1

Falling for him would be like cliff diving. It would be either the most exhilarating thing that ever happened to me or the stupidest mistake I’d ever make Picture Quote #1

Short stories do not say this happened and this happened and this happened. They are a microcosm and a magnification rather than a linear progression Picture Quote #1

We’re in a place where no words can tell the truth about what happened... But they have to. This was hell on earth Picture Quote #1

Everybody has their own level of doing their music... Mine just happened to resonate over the years, in one way and another, with a significant enough number of people so that I could do it professionally Picture Quote #1

People say it’s not what happens in your life that matters, it’s what you think happened. But this qualification, obviously, did not go far enough. It was quite possible that the central event of your life could be something that didn’t happen, or something you thought didn’t happen. Otherwise there’d be no need for fiction, there’d only be memoirs and histories Picture Quote #1

It’s the opportunity to play something completely different, responding to what happened just before you started to play, and I love that Picture Quote #1

We don’t forget... Our heads may be small, but they are as full of memories as the sky may sometimes be full of swarming bees, thousands and thousands of memories, of smells, of places, of little things that happened to us and which came back, unexpectedly, to remind us who we are Picture Quote #1

Our memories tell us who we are and they cannot be achieved through committee work, by consulting other people about what happened. That doesn’t mean that at all times memories are telling us the absolute truth, but that the main source of who we are is that memory, flawed or not Picture Quote #1

Composing is a natural fit. As far as the creative process goes, I’d rather do this than anything else, by far. Something different happened to me when I started to write music to images. It was a feeling of excitement and connection and a sense of being in the right place that I never had before Picture Quote #1
