Quote by B.K. Borison

“I need to realize that sometimes a shooting star isn't magic at all; sometimes it's just a bunch of space dust burning through the atmosphere. Sometimes you don't get a wish.”

“The pulsing heartbeat of true crime, of all human stories when you got right down to it, was we all wanted and hoped and dreamed and loved, but we had no control over what happened in the end. There was a reason why even the most sensationalistic supermarket paperback would tell you that the victim loved animals and wanted to be a veterinarian, or that another victim was three days away from her birthday. "These books promise closure and justice," I said to Lenore, scratching her under her chin. "But ultimately they reinforce the reality that so many lives are interrupted, so many dreams unfulfilled.”

“Elke nou en dan moet ek myself herinner: ’n Metafoor, ons beste poging om oor geestelike dinge te praat, sê iéts oor ’n bepaalde saak, maar nooit álles nie. Van die grootste krisisse in die kerkgeskiedenis het gebeur toe die wilde God se mense op ’n metafoor verlief geraak het.”

“A poesia traz grande beleza à vida, mas também uma grande tristeza, e não tenho a certeza se a troca é justa para alguém da minha idade. Um homem deveria gozar outras coisas, se pudesse - devia gastar osseus últimos dias ao sol. Os meus vão ser passados debaixo de uma lâmpada de leitura.”

“Everything's gonna be fine. Stay optimistic. If there's dark clouds coming, they'll leave again. They always do. The world is round. Everything is round. The biggest invention of all time, the wheel, is round. Things pass, nothing will stay the same forever. No matter how big a pile of shite you've gotten yourself into-be it drugs, financial problems, fucked up relations-you will get over it. It will go away just like the weather. The sun is round, so is the planet we live on, as are marriage rings, and our eyes through which we see the world.”
