Georges Simenon Quotes

When it's your time, it is your time.

But there are times in life when a door opens and you are offered a glimpse of the light on the water, and you know that if you don't take it, that door slams shut, and maybe forever. Maybe you fool yourself into thinking that you had a choice at all; maybe you were always going to say yes. Maybe refusing was no more a choice than is holding your breath. You were always going to breathe. You were always going to say yes.

It's the same with menus and men and just about anything else: we think we're choosing things for ourselves, but in fact we may not be choosing anything. It could be that everthing's being decided in advance and we pretend we're making choices. Free will may be an illusion. I often think that.

I'm such a profound believer that timing is everything; I would tattoo that on my arm.

I still think that luck is what a lot of the good things come from. It's simply the luck of where you are, when.

Timing really is nearly everything. And what it isn't, circumstance makes up for.
