“While the fates permit, live happily; life speeds on with hurried step, and with winged days the wheel of the headlong year is turned.”

“Time is like a wheel. Turning and turning - never stopping. And the woods are the center; the hub of the wheel. It began the first week of summer, a strange and breathless time when accident, or fate, bring lives together. When people are led to do things, they've never done before. On this summer's day, not so very long ago, the wheel set lives in motion in mysterious ways.”

“Fate is a wheel that turns without our hand”

“For a small reward, a man will hurry away on a long journey; while for eternal life, many will hardly take a single step.”

“It is familiarity with life that makes time speed quickly. When every day is a step in the unknown, as for children, the days are long with gathering of experience . . .”

“I have been run over by the speeding chariot of fate, caught up in its spiked wheels." - "I hate it when that happens," said Stephen.”
