“I must stop wishing for things to happen. Because something will happen eventually, and when it does, I'll be bound to wish it hadn't.”
“Something will happen eventually, and when it does, I'll be bound to wish it hadn't”
“If you didn't remember something happening, was it because it never had happened? Or because you wished it hadn't?”
“It happened. It was frightening and horrible and we both wish it hadn't happened, but it did.”
“What I wished more than anything was that the thing hadn't happened at all, and I thought that by not mentioning it I'd be doing everyone else a favor.”
“Demand not that things happen as you wish, but wish them to happen as they do, and you will go on well.”
