Popular quotes about Eventually! Wisdom and inspiration are here! | page 42
Humans will eventually become extinct. People treat that as a radical thing to say. But the fossil record shows us that everything eventually becomes extinct. It depends what "eventually" means.

We may leave descendants that are humanlike.
Elizabeth KolbertI think it comes in cycles for Brandy [Burre] and for many women. You want to take care of your home, making it as good as possible for your kids and for yourself, and then eventually you feel trapped and you want to break out of that. You want to be someone else and you want the world to look at you as something else. Eventually, you come back again. The cycles are very much a part of her life.

F. Sionil JosรฉEventually this all passes. The public horrors of today eventually blow away. And, yes, you are changed by the awful wake of reckoning they leave behind.

Don't let them take that away from you.
Jodie FosterWhat happened was I began to eventually lose everything because cocaine had such a hold on me.

So, every time you go in there, just go in there and be consistent, and eventually it will get noticed and someone will hire you.'
Jenna FischerWe could do some household and neighborhood or town wind energy.

Mark BattersonSounds travel through space long after their wave patterns have ceased to be detectable by the human ear: some cut right through the ionosphere and barrel on out into the cosmic heartland, while others bounce around, eventually being absorbed into the vibratory fields of earthly barriers, but in neither case does the energy succumb; it goes on forever - which is why we, each of us, should take pains to make sweet notes.

Lene MarlinA pin lies in wait for every bubble.

Natalie GoldbergIt feels better there. In real life you can eventually learn to deal with the pain and trauma, learn to cope on some level, you know?

Thanks for this outstanding coverage of much of the Battalions near legendary works.

Sun Myung MoonMemory implies that there is some static time and place you can go back to, whereas if you relive it by trying to put yourself back in that context, its more nuanced, less black and white. More traumatic, but also more exciting. When I knew I had to write about things that would be painful, I put off doing it for ages. But then eventually the fear of not doing it becomes greater than the fear of doing it.
Damian BarrDuring the course of the year a number of ideas just come up automatically. I could be walking down the street. Or shaving. An idea will hit me and I'll write it down. Then, when I'm ready to write, I check my little matchbooks and napkins and find that it is good or it's pretty terrible. There are other times when I don't have any ideas and I'll go into a room and close the door and I sit and sweat it out for a day or a month and eventually I come up with [something].

Jeremy DenkI was only twelve, but through the slow, inevitable burn of a thousand sunrises and sunsets, a thousand maps traced and retraced, I had already absorbed the valuable precept that everything crumbled into itself eventually, and to cultivate a crankiness about this was just a waste of time.
