| bcafd09 | Every second you dwell on the past you steal from your future. Every minute you spend focusing on your problems you take away from finding your solutions. And thinking about all those things that you wish never happened to you is actually blocking all the things you want to happen from entering into your life. Given the timeless truth that holds that you become what you think about all day long, it makes no sense to worry about past events .. | Robin S. Sharma | ||
| b265609 | Every second you spend thinking about someone else's dreams you take time away from your own. | Robin S. Sharma | ||
| 804659d | Only the mediocre die always at their best. Real leaders are always improving--and raising their bar on how superbly they can perform and how quickly they can move. --JEAN GIRAUDOUX | Robin S. Sharma | ||

| 0d3345e | Spring has past, summer has gone and winter is here. And the song that I meant to sing remains unsung. I have spent my days stringing and unstringing my instrument. | Robin S. Sharma | ||

| 1f8891b | Leadership's a lot more about how brilliantly you work and how masterfully you behave. | Robin S. Sharma | ||
| 64cbc08 | when you were born, you cried while the world rejoiced. Live your life in such a way that when you die the world cries while you rejoice." We live in an age when we have forgotten what life is all about." | Robin S. Sharma | ||

| 1222615 | One time Clu tried to explain it to me," Enos continued. "'Sometimes,' he said, 'you don't want to escape the world; sometimes you want to escape yourself.' " He cocked his head. "Do you believe that?" "Not really," Myron said. "Like a lot of cute phrases, it sounds good. But it also sounds like a load of self-rationalization." | Harlan Coben | ||
| 2a4a7b0 | Today he was being reminded yet again of the obvious: The world doesn't give even the slightest damn about us or our petty problems. We never quite get that, do we? Our lives have been shattered--shouldn't the rest of us take notice? But no. To the outside world, Adam looked the same, acted the same, felt the same. We get mad at someone for cutting us off in traffic or for taking too long to order at Starbucks or for not responding exactly .. | Harlan Coben | ||

| 838a7bf | But life changes people. It smothers that kind of larger-than-life woman. Time quiets them down. That firecracker girl you knew in high school--where is she now? It didn't happen to men as much. Those boys often grew up to be masters of the universe. The super successful girls? They seemed to die of slow societal suffocation. So | Harlan Coben | ||
| f0e8eb0 | Win took another putt. Another make. "We're not the same, you and I. We both know that. But it's okay." "It's not okay." "Yes, it is. If we were the same it wouldn't work. We'd both be dead by now. Or insane. We balance each other. It's why you're my best friend. It's why I love you." Silence. "Don't do it again," Myron said. Win did not reply. He lined up another putt. "Did you hear me?" "It's time to move on," Win said. "This incident is .. | Harlan Coben | ||
| c499b8d | A friend once told Megan that we are always seventeen years old, waiting for our lives to begin. More than ever, clutching to this man, Megan understood that. | youth | Harlan Coben | |
| a403968 | When I got home, I poured myself one last quick drink. I took a deep sip and let the warm liquor travel to destinations well known. Yes, I drink. But I'm not a drunk. That's not denial. I know I flirt with being an alcoholic. I also know that flirting with alcoholism is about as safe as flirting with a mobster's underage daughter. But so far, the flirting hasn't led to coupling. I'm smart enough to know that might not last. Chloe | Harlan Coben | ||
| a4cd2d8 | I look at her, then at Tasha, and I feel the wondrous blend of bliss and fear. They--bliss and fear--are constant companions. Rarely does one venture out without the other. | Harlan Coben | ||
| a9219d9 | Chaz's shift was over, so Kat met him at his apartment in the ritzy Lock-Horne Building on Park Avenue and 46th Street. Kat had come to an office party here two years ago when Stacy was dating the playboy who owned the building. The playboy, whose name was Wilson or Windsor or something else overtly preppy, was brilliant and rich and handsome and now, if rumors were true, had lost his mind a la Howard Hughes and become a complete recluse. | Harlan Coben | ||
| 8b72783 | Some people, no matter how easy the path they are given on the walk of life, will find a way to mess it all up. Ray Levine was one of those people. | philosophical | Harlan Coben | |
| 4ee94de | perhaps the greatest lesson was also the simplest: Cherish and take care of what you value. Happiness is fragile. Appreciate every moment and do everything you can to protect it. The rest of life, in a sense, is background noise. | Harlan Coben | ||
| 2974ca4 | There are virtually no major life decisions you make that are not in some way based on your finances. | Harlan Coben | ||
| fc2c834 | Some things we pack away, stick in the back of the closet, never expect to see again -- but we can't quite make ourselves discard them. Like dreams, I guess. | Harlan Coben | ||
| b7f6c7a | Another weird thing about funerals: Wear black but kill something as colorful as flowers to decorate. | Harlan Coben | ||
| 4a04730 | Those who had easy answers, be they on the right or the left, were always wrong. The world is complex. It is never one-size-fits-all. | Harlan Coben | ||
| a906b96 | The missing girl--there had been unceasing news reports, always flashing to that achingly ordinary school portrait of the vanished teen, you know the one, with the rainbow-swirl background, the girl's hair too straight, her smile too self-conscious, then a quick cut to the worried parents on the front lawn, microphones surrounding them, Mom silently tearful, Dad reading a statement with quivering lip--that girl, that missing girl had just w.. | Harlan Coben | ||
| 3901121 | The Bad Man isn't lurking in playgrounds, kiddies. He lives in your house. | Harlan Coben | ||
| dead68f | It was true what they said: The older you become, the more you are like your parents. Soon he'd be telling a kid not to stick his elbow out the car window or he'd lose it. | Harlan Coben | ||

| f011bc6 | You're so bright, Trav, and so intuitive about people. And you have ... the gift of tenderness. And sympathy. You could be almost anything." "Of course!" I said, springing to my feet and beginning to pace back and forth through the lounge. "Why didn't I think of that! Here I am, wasting the golden years on this lousy barge, getting all mixed up with lame-duck women when I could be out there seeking and striving. Who am I to keep from puttin.. | John D.

| 3118984 | If there was one sunset every twenty years, how would people react to them? If there were ten seashells in all the world, what would they be worth? If people could make love just once a year, how carefully would they pick their mates? | John D. MacDonald | ||
| fe60825 | New York is where it is going to begin, I think. You can see it coming. The insect experts have learned how it works with locusts. Until locust population reaches a certain density, they all act like any grasshoppers. When the critical point is reached, they turn savage and swarm, and try to eat the world. We're nearing a critical point. One day soon two strangers will bump into each other at high noon in the middle of New York. But this ti.. | John D. MacDonald | ||
