Iain Banks Quotes
It Felt Like Faith, Like Revelation: That Things Went On, That Life Ground On Regardless, And Mindless, And Produced Pain And Pleasure And Hope And Fear And Joy And Despair, And You Dodged Some Of It And You Sought Some Of It And Sometimes You Were Lucky
and Sometimes You Weren't, And Sometimes You Could Plan Your Way Ahead And That Would Be The Right Thing To Have Done, But Other Times All You Could Do Was Forget About Plans And Just Be Ready To React, And Sometimes The Obvious Was True And Sometimes It
wasn't, And Sometimes Experience Helped But Not Always, And It Was All Luck, Fate, In The End; You Lived, And You Waited To See What Happened, And You Would Rarely Ever Be Sure That What You Had Done Was Really The Right Thing Or The Wrong Thing, Because Things Can
always Be Better, And Things Can Always Be Worse.
