Hazard Quotes

“Postmen have a legendary aura. A ring at the doorbell may inflame a sense of expectation, suspense, secrecy, hazard or even intrigue. Ringing twice may imply a warning that trouble is on the way or an appeal to make the coast clear. Not all mailmen, though, will ring twice and await an eye-catching Lana Turner, whom they can whisper: "With my brains and your looks, we could go places.” ("The postman always rings twice")”
― Erik Pevernagie

“What's done is done. Whether to you, or by you, and you cannot change it.

“Când omul va reuşi să coboare în sine luminându-şi tenebrele care în permanență îl agită, când va reuşi să facă saltul de la teorie la acțiune şi de la inteligență la înțelepciune, atunci se va împăca cu sine şi în lume va domni pacea. Atâta vreme cât un singur om va prococa altui om suferință, lumea nu va avea linişte. Pentru că oricât de mult s-ar strădui unele teorii să ne convingă de apariția noastră prin hazard, viața are un sens.”
― Dumitru Constantin Dulcan, Inteligenţa materiei

“Caracterul inseamna destin. [...]Caracterul, singur, este insuficient pentru profetii. Exista un alt ingredient fundamental, impredictibil. Cum sa-i spunem? Noroc? Sansa? Intamplarea de a te afla la locul potrivit, la momentul potrivit?”
― Irvin D. Yalom, The Spinoza Problem

“People that have a police car behind them pulling them over should put on their hazard lights and continue slowly driving to the nearest densely populated public place, such as a supermarket or shopping center. Pull over outside the busy entrance and start your video camera. Inform the police officer that you are video recording and very slowly give the requested documentation. Exercise your legal right to silence while the many independent witnesses video record the unexpected stop that rudely interrupts your day. If you are given a ticket, choose to go to court. It will give you time to obtain independent legal advice about the allegation.”
― Steven Magee

“It is impossible to pinpoint just how much stress comes to bear on detectives involved in an investigation of the scope of the missing girls' cases, but anyone who is close to homicide detectives sees the tension, the incredible pressure brought on by their responsibilities. If a corporation president carries the responsibility of bringing in or losing profits, homicide detectives - particularly in cases like the "Ted" disappearances - are truly dealing with life and death, working against time and almost impossible odds. It is a profession that brings with it the occupational hazards of ulcers, hypertension, coronary disease, and, on occasion, alcoholism. The public, the victims' families, the press, superiors - all demand immediate action.”
― Ann Rule, The Stranger Beside Me: Ted Bundy: The Shocking Inside Story
