“If you never noticed, it never happened.”
“...I have noticed that when things happen in one's imaginings, they never happen in one's life, so I am curbing myself.”
“Iwent to school with African-American girls during my entire adolescence in Michigan and never noticed them as potential girlfriends, never even wanted to meet them. How did that happen? I'm nine thousand miles from home and a pernicious wall of segregation I never noticed in high school suddenly materialises. A young man should travel.”
“My imagination longs to dash ahead and plan developments; but I have noticed that when things happen in one's imaginings, they never happen in one's life, so I am curbing myself.”
“That's what happens when you love someone... you notice and notice and notice.”
“People never notice anything.”
