“Happiness is something that just happens because of the arrangement of circumstances, but joy endures in spite of circumstances.”

“There is something fresh and crisp about the first hours of a Caribbean day, a happy anticipation that something is about to happen, maybe just up the street or around the next corner.”

“A man who procrastinates in his choosing will inevitably have his choice made for him by circumstance.”

“Our circumstances are unusual and we come from different worlds, but if you’ll let me, I’ll take you to the gates of heaven. I’ll love your body and give you pleasure that you never thought possible.”

“I guess under the right circumstances, a man will do just about anything.”

“But nothing in life was set in stone and nothing in life is promised us. Not happiness, not joy, not love. Everything was variable and mutable and inconstant.”

“Humans make their own history, but not under circumstances of their choosing.”
