“Not much in the world ends up being the same as it started out, unless of course it had a very short life cycle.”

“Flom had the same experience...He didn't triumph over adversity. Instead, what started out as adversity ended up being an opportunity.”

“Cycling, cycling forever bear, wolf, caribou.When had it all started, where will it end?We are all part of one, from such simple beginnings and yet all so different.Yet one.One and again.”

“A day can start out ordinary and end up being in the top ten. —Joe Bunch”

“I once started out to walk around the world but ended up with you.Thank God.”

“And that's how things are. A day is like a whole life. You start out doing one thing, but end up doing something else, plan to run an errand, but never get there. . . . And at the end of your life, your whole existence has the same haphazard quality, too. Your whole life has the same shape as a single day.”
