"When things go wrong and will not come right,

For this to work, a million things have to go right. For it to fall apart, just one of them has to go wrong.

When everything has to be right, something isn't.

Even if you know what you are doing, things go wrong. Things go wrong because building a multifaceted human organization to compete and win in a dynamic, highly competitive market turns out to be really hard.

When things break down, what has been ignored rushes in. When things are no longer specified, with precision, the walls crumble, and chaos makes its presence known. When we've been careless, and let things slide, what we have refused to attend to gathers itself up, adopts a serpentine form, and strikes — often at the worst possible moment. It is then that we see what focused intent, precision of aim and careful attention protects us from.

Everything makes sense a bit at a time. But when you try to think of it all at once, it comes out wrong.

All the things that happen and seem so important at the time, and yet you forget them, one after another.

We know only too well that there are times when everything goes wrong, but, in our haste to make the worst of life, we are apt to forget that there are also times when everything goes right.

Everything's going along as usual and then all shit breaks loose.

If you are too careful, you are so occupied in being careful that you are sure to stumble over something.

Childhood is a tricky business. Usually something goes wrong.

The most important things of your life can change so suddenly, so unrecoverably, that you can forget even the most important of them and their connections, you are so taken up by the chanciness of all's that happened and by all that could and will happen next.

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.

I beleive things happen for a reason. People change so that you can learn to let go, things go wrong so that you can appreciate them when they're right, you beleive lies so you eventually start to trust no one but yourself, and sometimes good things fall apart, so that better things can fall together.
