He__ completely blown through his younger years like his childhood was one big cigarette to smoke carelessly.

If you haven__ figured it out yet, an absolutely certain way to lose something as quickly as possible is to forget the privilege you have to possess it in the first place.

Wielding your words cavalierly can inadvertently lop off someone__ ego.

How could I have been so ignorant? she thinks. So stupid, so unseeing, so given over to carelessness. But without such ignorance, such carelessness, how could we live? If you knew what was going to happen, if you knew everything that was going to happen next__f you knew in advance the consequences of your own actions__ou'd be doomed. You'd be as ruined as God. You'd be a stone. You'd never eat or drink or laugh or get out of bed in the morning. You'd never love anyone, ever again. You'd never dare to.

The true creator-self is a light-at-heart and care-free child, who accesses destiny as a simple act of joyful play.

I wept for my family, all if us, my beautiful, idyllic, lost family. I wept for our excesses, our delusions and inconsistencies; not that we had cared too much or too little, although both were true, but that we had let such extraordinary care be subverted into extraordinary carelessness. We'd been careless with the best of our many resources: each other. It was as though we had taken for granted the fact that there would be more where we had come from too; another chance, another summer, another Brooke, Bridget or Bill.

I learned that the world didn't see the inside of you, that it did not care a whit about the hopes and reams, and sorrows, that lay masked by skin and bone. It was as simple, as absurd, and as cruel as that.

If we__e honest, what makes something impossible is not our fear. Rather, it is our indifference.

If you don__ have any results to show for all your passing time, then you must have been trivializing time and you must have been living your life carelessly.

Don__ live your life not to know what to do with your time. If you don__ have any results to show for all your passing time, then you must have been trivializing time and you must have been living your life carelessly.

The wife of a careless man is almost a widow.

For want of a nail the shoe was lost for want of a shoe the horse was lost and for want of a horse the rider was lost being overtaken and slain by the enemy all for want of care about a horseshoe nail.

Carelessness does more harm than a want of knowledge.

There are rules which are meant to break. There are roads not to be followed.There are memories meant to leave.There are so many things we should not care about.

This book is a personal memoir; but it is also a larger story-about carelessness and guilt, and the wreckage they can make of lives.

When I picked up the bird and felt its light weight in my hands, I realized that carelessness was a form of cruelty. See, I'd always told myself that because I meant no harm, anything that happened wasn't my fault. At that moment, though, I knew I was wrong. If I hadn't given the female my gun, the bird wouldn't have been shot. I was responsible even though I didn't pull the trigger.
