“I have often had a retrospective vision where everything in my past life seems to fall with significance into logical sequence. Intuition, suspicion, or confidence in new ventures; there is a strange strain within me when advantage is not taken of some situation, the immediacy of recognition of the rightness or wrongness of a mood, a response, a decision - they are so often valid that I am increasingly convinced that we have yet to grasp the reality of existence.” RealitySeemsPastFallDecisionExistenceSituationVisionTakenStrangeAdvantageResponseIntuitionConvincedMoodRecognitionLogicalSignificanceSuspicionVentureStrainSequenceMy PastPast LifeImmediacyRetrospectiveNew Ventures Author:Ansel Adams
“It was a strange lightness, a drifting feeling. Zero gravity. I understood that everything that once seemed solid and immovable might just float away. And that this was a truth of life, not an illusion in the grieving mind of a child. Everything that is hard and heavy in your world is made up of billions of molecules in constant motion offering the illusion of permanence. But it all tends toward breaking down and falling away. Some things just go more quickly, more surprisingly, than others.” WorldMindChildrenMadeHardFeelingsMightFallStrangeIllusionUnderstoodDown AndConstantHeavyBillionsGrievingZeroGravityOfferingTruth Of LifeBreaking DownFloatsMoleculesDriftingPermanenceLightnessZero Gravity Author:Lisa Unger
“This was 1990, the year that communism died in Europe and it seemed strange to me that in all the words that were written about the fall of the iron curtain, nobody anywhere lamented that it was the end of a noble experiment. I know that communism never worked and I would have disliked living under it myself but none the less it seems that there was a kind of sadness in the thought that the only economic system that appeared to work was one based on self interest and greed.” KnowsYearsKindEndsSelfSeemsFallInterestWrittenSadnessEconomicStrangeEuropeDiedGreedNobleExperimentsCommunismIronCurtainsSelf InterestEconomic SystemsIron Curtain Author:Bill Bryson

“You, sleeping on your bed of nails. Weeping an ocean beyond the pale. Strange, sorrow is your greatest skill. You're suffering from overkill... Choose whether to laugh or to cry. Menace and promise mingle in your eye. Wait, it's only a matter of time. You know everything will be fine... Rain falls down and the seas run high. When you're by my side we can rise above it. Let me dry all the tears inside. On your way you cannot hide from the howling wind and the roaring tide. You might get hurt but your fears will subside when you at last escape from the tears inside.” KnowsWayMatterMightEyeRunningLastsSufferingFallWaitingSidesHurtSleepLaughingSeaCryTearsStrangeWindFineSorrowPromiseBedSkillsOceanRainLet MeDown AndDryTidesPaleNailsRise AboveWeepingFalling DownMenaceRoaringMatter Of TimeRise Above ItOverkillHowling Wind Author:Tim Finn

“It is strange that a person may find it easy to protect himself from: eating Haraam, oppression and injustice, adultery, theft, drinking khamr (alcoholic drinks), and from unlawful looking, but it is hard for him to restrain the movement of his tongue. How often do we see people who are very cautious about falling into shameful deeds or injustice, but their tongue lashes against the living and the dead and they don't mind it?” PeopleMindMayPersonsHardFallEasyMovementStrangeDrinkProtectEatingDrinkingInjusticeDeedsTongueOppressionAlcoholicsAdulteryTheftCautiousShamefulLashesUnlawfulAlcoholic Drinks Author:Ibn Taymiyyah
“I guess it would fall into the stalker category more or less. I was being stalked by a mime - silent but maybe deadly. Somehow, this mime would appear on the set of 'Bringing Out the Dead' and start doing strange things. I have no idea how it got past security. Finally, the producers took some action and I haven't seen the mime since. But it was definitely unsettling.” IdeasActionPastFallSecurityHavensStrangeSilentProducersNo IdeaCategoriesStrange ThingsMime Author:Nicolas Cage
“There was a brief moment of weightlesssness: a balancing point between air and earth, dirt and heaven. How strange, I thought, how like the moment between sleeping and falling when everything is beautifully surreal and nothing is corporeal. How like floating towards completion. But as often happens in that time between existing in the world and fading into dreams, this moment over the edge ended with the ruthless jerk back to awareness.” WorldMomentsDreamHappensEarthFallHeavenSleepAirAwarenessStrangeEdgesDirtFloatingSurrealRuthlessJerkCompletionFadingOver The EdgeBrief Moments Author:Andrew Davidson
