“Quoting her mother: The trouble with a book is you never know what's in it until it's too late!”
“Nobody chooses to evolve. It's like floods and avalanches and earthquakes. You never know what's happening until they hit, then it's too late.”
“You can tell people the truth, but they'll never believe until the event. Until it's too late. In the meantime, the truth will just piss them off and get you in a lot of trouble”
“I've always heard that by the time you see the teeth, its too late." (this quote paraphrased in several Jayne Castle books)”
“Tomorrow never comes until it's too late.”
“consider the implications. We think we know what we want, but we can never really know until we've got it. And sometimes when we have, we discover we never really wanted it in the first place - but then it's too late”
