chance

I didn't care much what happened to me, so chance didn't matter.

You have only one life! Take a chance, make a change, and live!

The true law of economics is chance, and we learned people arbitrarily seize on a few moments and establish them as laws.

Accidents are built into the road.

Be brave, little rabbit. Take a chance.

Oh, many a shaft at random sentFinds mark the archer little meant!And many a word at random spokenMay soothe, or wound, a heart that's broken!

One chance--that's what she had seen she had--one flying leap that was really composed of eight thousand separate possibilities for falling, and she had taken that chance and come this far and been found out.

In the arc of an unremarkable life, a life whose triumphs are small and personal, whose trials are ordinary enough, as tempered in their pain as in their resolution of pain, the claim of exclusivity in love requires both a certain kind of courage and a good dose of delusion. Irish Mary, Eva's sister, would have been happy enough to accept my father's ring, I suppose, had Eva not chosen to stay in Ireland and marry Tom. My mother's first fiancé would have married her gladly if he hadn't been kept too long overseas by the Navy, if my father hadn't beaten him home, on points, a full year before. It might have been Cody or John in the car with your father, that day on Long Island. I might have been gone. Those of us who claim exclusivity in love do so with a liar's courage: there are a hundred opportunities, thousands over the years, for a sense of falsehood to seep in, for all that we imagine as inevitable to become arbitrary, for our history together to reveal itself as only a matter of chance and happenstance, nothing irrepeatable, or irreplaceable, the circumstantial mingling of just one of the so many million with just one more.

You are ass and I like class. I like diamonds, you are a glass. You brown mouse, I like black cats. You boy pussy but i like tom cats. Just because you got the dance, don't think you stand a fucking chance.

He thinks of the all steps that gathered this party and marvels at the weaverless looms of fortune.

His hand cupped her face, his thumb caressing the delicate line of her jaw. __isten to me, Raven._ He brushed a kiss on the top of her silky head. __ know I do not deserve you. You think you are somehow less than what I am, but in truth, you are so far above me, I have no right even to reach for you._ When she stirred as if to protest, Mikhail held her tighter. __o, little one, I know this is true. I see you clearly, whereas you do not have access to my thoughts and memories. I cannot give you up. I wish I was a stronger, better man so that I could do so, but I cannot. I can only promise you that I will do everything in my power to make you happy, to provide for you everything I can possibly give you. I ask for time to learn your ways, for room to make mistakes. If you need to hear words of love__ his mouth skimmed down the side of her face to find the corner of her mouth__ then I can say them to you in all honesty. I never believed I would have a woman of my own, a true lifemate. I have never wanted a woman for my own._ His kiss was infinitely tender, a searing, smoky flame tasting of love and longing. __ou are in my heart to stay, Raven. I know better than you the differences between us. I ask only for a chance.

When you think about all the infinitely many galaxies and combinations of DNA, and against all those odds you meet this person - it's a miracle...' 'Right,' I said. I couldn't imagine viewing Bill's presence on Earth as any kind of a miracle, but wasn't that itself the miracle - that love really was an obscure and unfathomable connection between individuals, and not an economic contest where everyone was matched up by how quantifiably lovable they are?

But was any future, anyone's future, unfraught by hazards of some sort? The only security was death. So long as one wanted to go on living on had to accept the risks. Well, she accepted them...

Just maybe I was worthy of love.

It__ a number.___t__ not,_ she said. __t__ a chance to wake up new.

God sees it all and He gives you the chance to show faithfulness in your ministry to Him

Slacker becomes slower if given additional time.

I'm sorry, but nothing 'just happens'. Stuff happens because either we make it happen or we let it.
