“She had never expected anything special to just happen to her. Her plan for life was to get out there and make special things happen, which was a much more sensible plan from a probability point of view.”

“That's her secret, I suppose. Everything that happens to her she's proud of. She makes it special by it happening to her.”

“Life Plan:I asked her what she planned to do with her life & she said she was way beyond that point already. I'm just happy I remember to be there when it happens, she said.”

“if you wanted special things to happen in your life, then you had to damn well get up of your own backside and make them happen yourself.”

“I decided, very early on, just to accept life unconditionally; I never expected it to do anything special for me, yet I seemed to accomplish far more than I had ever hoped. Most of the time it just happened to me without my ever seeking it.”

“This was her special time, this early part of the day when the sun was just about to creep over the horizon. It was a brand new day in which anything could happen.”
