[A]nd if you don't know? Now you know, nigga.

And one day, my love, you will know it, too.

In the instant that you love someone,
In the second that the hammer hits,
Reality runs up your spine,
And the pieces finally fit.

The moment comes when a character does or says something you hadn't thought about. At that moment he's alive and you leave it to him.

I once wrote a lecture for Manchester University called « Moments of Discovery » in which I said that there are two moments that are important. There's the moment when you know you can find out the answer and that's the period you are sleepless before you know what it is. When you've got it and know what it is, then you can rest easy.

This is one moment, / But know that another / Shall pierce you with a sudden painful joy.

Decision, the moment of saying yes, is prompted by something deeper; recognition. I recognise you; I know you again, from a dream or another life, or perhaps even from a chance sighting in a café, years ago.

The moment when you really experience that you have created yourself being whatever way you are, at that same moment you will never have to be that way again.

There’s always a moment of transition for you, that one moment when you turn from outsider to in, when you leave your past behind and suddenly mesh with the new life you’ve joined.

It made me think that everything was about to arrive - the moment when you know all and everything is decided forever.

. . some moment happens in your life that you say yes right up to the roots of your hair, that makes it worth having been born just to have happen. laughing with somebody till the tears run down your cheeks. waking up to the first snow. being in bed with somebody you love... whether you thank god for such a moment or thank your lucky stars, it is a moment that is trying to open up your whole life. If you turn your back on such a moment and hurry along to business as usual, it may lose you the ball game. if you throw your arms around such a moment and hug it like crazy, it may save your soul.

That's the eureka moment, when suddenly you know something. Your hands sweat, you get into all kinds of symptoms of tremendous excitement. First of all, it's fear. Is it right? And it's incredible humor. 'How could it be any other way? It had to be that way! How could we have been so stupid, not to see this?'

One moment of total awareness is one moment of perfect enlightenment.

At some point you realize that the permission you’ve been waiting for all along was your own.
