When things go wrong, you'll find they usually go on getting worse for some time; but when things once start going right they often go on getting better and better.

But if everything was always smooth and perfect, you'd get too used to that, you know? You have to have a little bit of disorganization now and then. Otherwise, you'll never really enjoy it when things go right.

That's one of the remarkable things about life. It's never so bad that it can't get worse.

A person gets used to being alone, but break it just for a day and you have to get used to it again, all over from the beginning.

You can get used to horror, he thought. When it has lost immediacy and is no longer pungent and has become a steady diet. When it has degraded to a chain of mind-numbing events. (“Lover When You're Near Me”)

Funny, how just when you think life can’t possibly get any worse it suddenly does.

Little changes, like small steps all along the way, bring you to a different place. One day you wake up and things are not the same anymore.

I've had worse, and I'll have better one day. This is not the end.

Just when you think it can't get any worse, it can. And just when you think it can't get any better, it can.

IT AIN’T AS BAD AS YOU THINK. IT WILL LOOK BETTER IN THE MORNING.

Today it is bad, and day by day it will get worse — until at last the worst of all arrives.

Most things will be okay eventually, but not everything will be. Sometimes you’ll put up a good fight and lose.

Life is not fair; get used to it.

When a man is getting better he understands more and more clearly the evil that is still left in him. When a man is getting worse he understands his own badness less and less.
