All of this happened very quickly, but not suddenly, and not before the appearance of certain omens.
~ Mikhail Bulgakov
At a time when history made its way slowly, the few events were easily remembered and woven into a backdrop, known to everyone, before which private life unfolded the gripping show of its adventures. Nowadays, time moves forward at a rapid pace. Forgotten overnight, a historic event glistens the next day like the morning dew and thus is no longer the backdrop to a narrator's tale but rather an amazing adventure enacted against the background of the over-familiar banality of private life.
~ Milan Kundera
our day-to-day life is bombarded with fortuities or, to be more precise, with the accidental meetings of people and events we call coincidences. co-incidence means that two events unexpectedly happen at the same time.
~ Milan Kundera
In times when history still moved slowly, events were few and far between and easily committed to memory. They formed a commonly accepted backdrop for thrilling scenes of adventure in private life. Nowadays, history moves at a brisk clip. A historical event, though soon forgotten, sparkles the morning after with the dew of novelty. No longer a backdrop, it is now the adventure itself, an adventure enacted before the backdrop of the commonly accepted banality of private life.
~ Milan Kundera
Turning points in the evolution of a relationship are not always the result of dramatic events; they often stem from something that at first seems completely inconsequential.
~ Milan Kundera
The humble histories of hearts cannot be brushed aside forever by the great events of nations.
~ Milan Kundera
All at once I understood that it had only been my illusion that we ourselves saddle events and control their courses; the truth is that they aren't our stories at all, that they are foisted on us from somewhere outside; that in no way do they represent us; that we are not to blame for the strange paths they follow; that they are themselves directed from who knows where by who knows what strange forces.
~ Milan Kundera
B?i trong th? giá»›i này, chuy?n gì cÅ©ng ???c tha th? trước nên, cách ??y vô tâm, ng??i ta s?n sàng cho phép chúng x?y ra.
~ Milan Kundera
We do not influence the course of events by persuading people that we are right when we make what they regard as radical proposals. Rather, we exert influence by keeping options available when something has to be done at a time of crisis.
~ Milton Friedman

The incidence of memory is like light from dead stars whose influence lingers long after the events themselves.
~ David Horowitz
Cause-effect looks back and asks, "What caused this?" Purpose looks up or ahead, and asks, "And why was it caused? For what purpose? For what end?" Cause-effect looks for a force pushing events from behind. Purpose looks for a pattern or design or intention or meaning pulling events from ahead, guiding them from above, enriching them from within.
~ Brian D. McLaren
These frozen moments are grouped into nows—into events that happen at the same time—in different ways by observers in different states of motion.
~ Brian Greene
all events making up the history of the universe are on view; they are all there, static and unchanging. Different observers don't agree on which of the events happen at the same time—they time-slice the spacetime loaf at different angles—but the total loaf and its constituent events are universal, literally.
~ Brian Greene
Memory and History are two sides of the same coin. In time, however, History tends to slant itself toward a favorable impression of events, while Memory is doomed to preserve the worst aspects.
~ Brian Herbert
Time management is really life management, personal management. It is really taking control of the sequence of events. Time management is taking control over what you do next. And you are always free to choose the task that you will do next. Your ability to choose between the important and the unimportant is the key determinant of your success in life and work.
~ Brian Tracy
Time management is really life management, personal management. It is really taking control of the sequence of events. Time management is taking control over what you do next.
~ Brian Tracy
We are made of stellar ash. Our origin and evolution have been tied to distant cosmic events. The exploration of the cosmos is a voyage of self-discovery.
~ Carl Sagan
And what is the evidence for this conclusion? Chiefly, it is the 11th and 12th verses of Luke, Chapter 21, in which Jesus talks about "great signs from Heaven"—nothing like a UFO is described—in the last days. Typically, Lindsey ignores verse 32, in which Jesus makes it very clear he is talking about events in the first, not the twentieth, century.
~ Carl Sagan
Predictions of surprising events always prove more accurate if not set down on paper beforehand.
~ Carl Sagan
