“I’m something, at the very least. I’ve defied the existential odds already, winning the trillion-to-one jackpot of even existing in the first place.”

“There are billions and billions of paths for us on any given day, and we certainly remember the ones that lead to something like a brutal car crash. We think to ourselves, Why me? how did I get so unlucky? The problem is, we have absolutely no idea how many times we've missed one of the infinite tragic routes, ducking and dodging butterflies left and right. Every day, we never know the billions and billions and billions of crash crashes we're not in.”

“You can’t always choose your future. Not in a world of risk and uncertainty. No matter what the self-help gurus tell you. You can only attempt to guide it in the right direction, like a willful horse, but accept there will be times when it will gallop off in a direction not of your choosing. No one can tell you what lies ahead with one hundred percent accuracy. If your doctor tells you ninety-nine out of one hundred people die of your disease, you most likely will die, but you might also be the one who beats the odds, and if you do, you will believe yourself special and blessed, and your loved ones will believe the fervency of their prayers for you paid dividends, but it’s just math. It’s all just math.”
― Liane Moriarty, Here One Moment

“Maybe it’s not order I’m looking for, though, and maybe that’s been the problem this whole time. Order and purpose are often considered synonymous, but there’s a subtle difference between the two. Finding order in this chaotic world has turned out to be a fool’s errand, but purpose might still have a chance.”
