You're always you, and that don't change, and you're always changing, and there's nothing you can do about it.
It is astonishing just how much of what we are can be tied to the beds we wake up in in the morning, and it is astonishing how fragile that can be.
Life is always going to be stranger than fiction, because fiction has to be convincing, and life doesn't.
Truly life is wasted on the living...
Life and death are different sides of the same coin.
Dinner with Steven Moffat in Bar Shu, spent mostly in enthusiastic Dr Who neepery. I love my life....As a side note, running Windows Vista on the Panasonic w7 is making me really nostalgic for 1986. Whoever thought I'd get to type things then stare at a blank screen for a bit and one-by-one watch the letters appear? Cory and Mike's 'Why Don't You Run Linux?' talks are staring to seem much more sensible.
Lives are snowflakes -- forming patterns we have seen before, as like one another as peas in a pod (and have you ever looked at peas in a pod? I mean, really looked at them? There's not a chance you'd mistake one for another, after a minute's close inspection), but still unique.

As sure as water's wet and days are long and a friend will always disappoint you in the end.
Life is a rock, but the radio rolled me over.
You don't get explanations in real life. You just get moments that are absolutely, utterly, inexplicably odd.
Truly, life is wasted on the living, Nobody Owens. For one of us is too foolish to live, and it is not I.
Life is a disease, sexually transmitted and fatal.
