Choose a letter: 
Murderers will try to recall the sequence of events, they will remember exactly what they did just before and just after. But they can never remember the actual moment of killing. This is why they will always leave a clue.
Peter Ackroyd, British Author (1949-  )
We cannot make events. Our business is wisely to improve them.

Christiane Amanpour, English Journalist (1958-  )
Even if you walk exactly the same route each time - as with a sonnet - the events along the route cannot be imagined to be the same from day to day, as the poet's health, sight, his anticipations, moods, fears, thoughts cannot be the same.

Maurice Ashley, Jamaican Celebrity (1966-  )
Time is a sort of river of passing events, and strong is its current; no sooner is a thing brought to sight than it is swept by and another takes its place, and this too will be swept away.
Marcus Aurelius, Roman Soldier (121-180)
You have power over your mind - not outside events. Realize this, and you will find strength.

Ibrahim Babangida, Nigerian Statesman (1941-  )
There are no mistakes. The events we bring upon ourselves, no matter how unpleasant, are necessary in order to learn what we need to learn; whatever steps we take, they're necessary to reach the places we've chosen to go.
Richard Bach, American Novelist (1936-  )
Every person, all the events of your life are there because you have drawn them there. What you choose to do with them is up to you.
Richard Bach, American Novelist (1936-  )
I come to Fashion Week events in New York City twice a year.
Oksana Baiul, American Athlete (1977-  )
Reporters thrive on the world's misfortune. For this reason they often take an indecent pleasure in events that dismay the rest of humanity.

We speculate as to what is in store for us. But we not only undergo events, we in part cause them or at least influence their course. We have not only to study them but to act.
Emily Greene Balch, American Educator (1867-1961)
I don't know that I believe in the supernatural, but I do believe in miracles, and our time together was filled with the events of magical unlikelihood.
