Certain coincidences risk passing unnoticed; certain people have appeared in our lives on several occasions without our realizing it.

I cannot choose but marvel at the way
In which our lives pass on, from day to day
Learning strange lessons in the human heart,
And yet like shadows letting them depart.

Odd things happen to all of us on our way through life without our noticing for a time that they have happened.

You know, without realizing it we fill important places in each other's lives.

Most of us walk unseeing through the world, unaware alike of its beauties, its wonders, and the strange and sometimes terrible intensity of the lives that are being lived about us.

I'm passing through the world invisibly. Even when people see or speak to me it's as if I didn't exist, as if I had no right to exist. I tread across their lands and they don't see me. I act and act and act and nothing makes any difference in the world. But they touch me.

We must go through life so inconspicuously that Fate does not notice us.

Those who pass by us, do not go alone, and do not leave us alone; they leave a bit of themselves, and take a little of us.

Do not the most moving moments of our lives find us all without words?

When we miss it, it really does pass us by. Tomorrow presents another opportunity for awareness, but it’s never an opportunity for the same awareness.

People for the most part pass by the loveliest things in life without paying attention.

When we live our lives every day, we're met by opportunities, and most of us don't even recognize them.

Do not the most moving moments of our lives find us without words?

Some people skip through life; some people are dragged through it. I sometimes wonder whether we are moving through time or time is moving through us.
