T.M CicinskiWhenever you find yourself doing something for money, the pleasure that you might have gotten from it is usually tainted or lost.
T.M CicinskiIt is never a small thing to have had a dream and lived to see it fulfilled, no matter how small the dream may be.
T.M CicinskiLife is hard when you ask it for things it can't give you. When you know what it can give you and ask it only for those things, it is easier.
T.M Cicinski“Who am I to speculate about how many years God may yet give me? For all I know, He may have decided already that I shall live forever and merely neglected to inform me.â€
T.M CicinskiMany of those moments which come to define our lives, we are left to imagine, since we were never there to experience them.
T.M CicinskiPerhaps it is better to forget your dreams than to remember your nightmares.
T.M CicinskiHappy memories are the best shields against unhappy days.
T.M CicinskiLuck is very important... but she does not dictate everything.
T.M CicinskiEverything is possible, but some things are more likely than others.
T.M CicinskiAs all true gamblers know, the moods of luck, whether bad or good, are as changeable as the winds.
T.M CicinskiSometimes it is better not to know a bad thing if there is nothing you can do about it... but it is cowardly nonetheless.
T.M Cicinski“It is better, after all, to have a face that people want to punch, than to have one that excites no desire at all...â€
T.M Cicinski“A man who is good to animals," she observed, coldly, "is a man you can trust to be good to animals. Nothing more.â€
T.M CicinskiI am happy now. Why would I want to ruin that by thinking about a future in which it is possible I will not be?
T.M Cicinski“People change. You choose who you go to bed with, but no-one gets to choose who they wake up with the next morning, or the morning after that, or twenty years down the line. Luck decides that for you.â€
T.M Cicinski“If you ever feel lonesome, you should look up at the stars and remember that everyone you care about is under them, and that perhaps they are looking up at them too.â€
T.M CicinskiHistory condemns those who give the orders. It forgets those who commit the crimes.
T.M Cicinski“Look around you. A fear of living, of truly living, is the most common fear there is.â€
T.M CicinskiIdalina loved the river. It was the only constant thing she knew of, except for the high mountains. People lived and died and during their lives they altered the landscape with their houses and roads. Trees were planted and cut down. The herds came and went. Yet the river flowed still as it had flowed when she was a girl and when her mother and grandmother had been girls before her and through each generation to the beginning of time.
T.M CicinskiThe sun is the father of all things on the earth. Just as the river is the mother which protects and nurtures us, the sun nourishes us too. He punishes us also, but he does so to strengthen us.
T.M CicinskiPerfection is not something the world has to offer.
T.M Cicinski“Do not be mistaken," she said as she dressed in the blue light of morning. "You are not the man I love. You are a man I love.â€
T.M Cicinski“No place which has ever once been perfect is worth the gamble of revisiting.â€
T.M CicinskiThis will not last forever. One day soon it will be over and a week or a month after that it will seem as though it were no more than a dream. A nightmare, perhaps. But not something real. That's the remarkable thing about humanity; our capacity to forget.
T.M Cicinski“Nothing costs nothing," he cautioned, repeating the words of his father. "Anytime you think something is free, you should remember that someone, somewhere, is paying for it in one way or another, and more often than not, with something that means a helluva lot more than just money.â€
T.M Cicinski"To move a mountain, you must begin by picking up a single stone and carrying it to another place.â€
T.M CicinskiA man who looks too deeply inside himself is apt to see nothing and so despair.
T.M Cicinski“The secret to finding peace in religion, is to attain an understanding that God Himself is far from perfect.â€
T.M Cicinski“Since God made man in his image, to understand the nature of God, we must first come to an understanding of our own nature, realising that our vices as well as our virtues are mirrored in those of God. If people are flawed, then it is because He too is flawed. And perhaps, He is in need of our understanding, as well as our love, just as they are.â€
T.M Cicinski“In bed," she said, as they lay in bed, "most men will believe anything you tell them.â€
T.M Cicinski“People are very fond of saying that you should never run away from your problems. Yet if your problem were a man-eating tiger, perhaps running away is exactly what you should do.â€
T.M CicinskiThere are lucky people everywhere and unlucky people everywhere. Where you are born does not have much to do with it.
T.M CicinskiAlways is not a real thing. Everything has its beginning and end and it is not good to pretend that some things are different.
