“Whatever happens, they say afterwards, it must have been fate. People are always a little confused about this, as they are in the case of miracles. When someone is saved from certain death by a strange concatenation of circumstances, they say that's a miracle. But of course if someone is killed by a freak chain of events -- the oil spilled just there, the safety fence broken just there -- that must also be a miracle. Just because it's not nice doesn't mean it's not miraculous.” PeopleIfsMeanLittlesHas BeensHappensCertainCoursesCasesNiceFateEventsStrangeBrokenCircumstancesMiracleSafetyOilSavedChainsConfusedFreakFenceMiraculousWhatever HappensDiscworldInteresting TimesCertain DeathChain Of Events Author:Terry Pratchett

Pain makes you a little person, not a big one, and not a nice one, except perhaps in the case of saints, and I've never known one.” PeopleThinkingLittlesPersonsEnoughBodyBigsSeemsCarePainForceInterestKnownCasesNiceOughtHappeningsPraiseFilledSaintIllnessAbout YourselfReach OutGood WillBringing Out The BestEnough Pain Book:Put out the light Source: Put out the light

“When it comes to horror there's a strange need to analyze. When "evil children" fad happened, there was The Exorcist and The Other and The Omen.
