Nicholas Sparks Quotes

I was raised in an environment where chaos was the norm, so I was at my best in chaos.

I really don't know what to do when my life is not chaotic.

I just have tried to adapt to the constant changes that happen all the time in my schedule and try and find any sort of mini-predictability and balance within my very unpredictable life.

Most of the time, I'm not scared. I get on with life, not because I'm a fatalist, but because that's the most congenial way of dealing with things. Indeed, most of the time, I'm not conscious of dealing with anything.

I shouldn't say I'm looking forward to leading a normal life, because I don't know what normal is.

I like having a routine, because everything else... is so unpredictable.

Nature can always be more complicated than we imagine.

Life never works out the way you think it will. But you just have to deal with it.

Routine is part of coping.

I long for typical days, but rarely get them any more.

When you can't cope with change, you feel overwhelmed, and you look for a simple solution.

Nothing is 'another day at the office.'

No one knows how they would react to a horrible situation until it happens to them.

You can't predict what's gonna happen, you can't predict if people are going to participate, you can't predict if there'll be interference.

We can change so many times in our lives. We're born into a family, and it's the only life we can imagine, but it changes. Buildings collapse. Fires burn. And the next second we're someplace else entirely, going through different motions and trying to keep up with this new person we've become.

You don't always know how to do things when they're happening.

So what if right now everything is wrong?

One must always be prepared for riotous and endless waves of transformation.

Just keep playing, mastering as you do the step Into disorder this one meant. Don't you see It's all we can do? Meanwhile, great fires Arise, as of haystacks aflame. The dial has been set And that's ominous, but all your graciousness in living Conspires with it, now that this is our home: A place to be from, and have people ask about.

Life doesn't care about your vision. You just gotta roll with it.

This is your time and it feels normal to you, but really, there is no normal. There's only change and resistance to it and then more change.

It seemed that everywhere you went, people quickly adapted to the way they had to live, and called it Life.
