“There’s the way things should be, and then there’s the way things are. Things will never be the way they should be as long as people keep saying that’s just the way things are. If everyone got together and ensured that things were the way they should be, then eventually the way things are would be the way they should be. Of course, that will never happen. That’s just the way things are.”
“There isn't a way things should be. There's just what happens, and what we do.”
“There’s no such thing as a normal angel. It’s never done that way.”
“There is a certain way that life ought to be, an ideal way, a perfect way, and there is the way that life is, not quite the opposite of ideal, not quite the opposite of perfect, it just is not quite the way it should be but not quite the way it should not be either; I mean to say that in any situation, only one or two, maybe even three out of ten, things are just what you have been praying for.”
“Maybe there’s no such thing as real truth, just lots and lots of different ways of explaining the same thing.”
“Things should have beenso differentto the way they arenow.”
