Without publicity a terrible thing happens: nothing.

P. T. Barnum

That's the problem with drinking, I thought, as I poured myself a drink. If something bad happens you drink in an attempt to forget; if something good happens you drink in order to celebrate; and if nothing happens you drink to make something happen.

Charles Bukowski

Whenever something good happens to me, it's usually followed by something terrible.

Larry David

Finding yourself in a hole, at the bottom of a hole, in almost total solitude, and discovering that only writing can save you. To be without the slightest subject for a book, the slightest idea for a book, is to find yourself, once again, before a book. A vast emptiness. A possible book. Before nothing. Before something like living, naked writing, like something terrible, terrible to overcome.

Marguerite Duras

If you get a job or promotion because of your race or gender, it is no different than a subsidy. You get something you didn't earn, 'something for nothing.'

James Cook

Nonintervention does not mean that nothing happens. It means that something else happens.

Christopher Hitchens

Do nothing, and leave nothing undone. ["Doing nothing" is what happens when the doer disappears, it isn't something that one does or chooses not to do.]

Laozi

When something terrible happens, how you react determines who you are from then on.

Lisa Kleypas

Without passion, nothing happens; without compassion, the wrong things happen.

Jan Eliasson

A plate of food hits the table, lands right in front of you. One of two things happens. Either you sit up and look at it and react to it, or nothing happens. If nothing happens then that restaurant is stuck in mediocrity forever.

Jon Taffer

Whatever happens happens. If something happens, something happens. But I believe in God, and I pray every day.

Joel Embiid

There is nothing so terrible as activity without insight.

Johann Wolfgang von Goethe

This is how Americans think. You believe that if something terrible happens to someone, they must have deserved it.

Barbara Kingsolver

Things happen they way they're meant to. There's a pattern and a shape to everything...Nothing happens without a reason...Nothing is impossible...(Page 180).

Rosamunde Pilcher

Nothing happens without intention, Willem. Nothing. This theory of yours - life is rules by accidents - isn't that just one huge excuse for passivity?

Gayle Forman

Whenever there's active promotion on the part of somebody else, whenever I see somebody all dolled up for a fancy photograph and someone's handing out flyers or whenever there's active promotion for something like that, as an imposition on my day, I hate all those people and I want them to fail. I have a visceral reaction to advertising and promotion. There's just something about salesmanship that grates on me on a very base level and I react very negatively towards it. I want those people to suffer and I want their enterprises to fail.

Steve Albini
