― Seanan McGuire, In an Absent Dream

“You can’t ignore the importance of being unique, remarkable, and differentiated in a highly crowded market.”

“All things remarkable are surprisingly simple; albeit difficult to find.”
― Criss Jami, Healology

“The ability of a group of people to do remarkable things hinges on how well those people pull together as a team.”

“Sometimes the most remarkable things seem commonplace. I mean, when you think about it, jet travel is pretty freaking remarkable. You get in a plane, it defies the gravity of an entire planet by exploiting a loophole with air pressure, and it flies across distances that would take months or years to cross by any means of travel that has been significant for more than a century or three. You hurtle above the earth at enough speed to kill you instantly should you bump into something, and you can only breathe because someone built you a really good tin can that has seams tight enough to hold in a decent amount of air. Hundreds of millions of man-hours of work and struggle and research, blood, sweat, tears, and lives have gone into the history of air travel, and it has totally revolutionized the face of our planet and societies.

But get on any flight in the country, and I absolutely promise you that you will find someone who, in the face of all that incredible achievement, will be willing to complain about the drinks.

The drinks, people.

That was me on the staircase to Chicago-Over-Chicago. Yes, I was standing on nothing but congealed starlight. Yes, I was walking up through a savage storm, the wind threatening to tear me off and throw me into the freezing waters of Lake Michigan far below. Yes, I was using a legendary and enchanted means of travel to transcend the border between one dimension and the next, and on my way to an epic struggle between ancient and elemental forces.

But all I could think to say, between panting breaths, was, 'Yeah. Sure. They couldn’t possibly have made this an escalator.”
― Jim Butcher, Summer Knight

“Willful ignorance is blissful only in the mind of a remarkable fool.”
― Tracey Bond

“Many people are trying hard to be invincible, and most of the time they fail invisible, while few find their spotlight. But the remarkable person is one, who can be both invincible and invisible at the same time.”
― Anthony Liccione

“If you are too afraid to offend anyone, then I'm afraid you may not be able to do anything remarkable”
― Bernard Kelvin Clive

“I do not fully understand the way of human beings. They are a curious and remarkable tribe altogether. They are capable of anything. I know that much. They are a constant surprise to me. They are a constant surprise to themselves also. They appear to live in a state of constant amazement. This makes them refreshing and infuriating. But there is a greatness about them sometimes. More perhaps than they know. Or a capacity for greatness. More than they know. It’s confusing but I know this to be true. I have learned that much in all these years.”
― Brian Doyle, Mink River

“It's a very remarkable story."
"Remarkable's a well-chosen word. It doesn't give you away.”
― James Hilton, Random Harvest

“How was it that Genya had fallen so hard for someone so serious and so quiet and so seemingly oblivious to her gorgeousness? Or was that exactly why she had fallen for David?”
― Leigh Bardugo, Shadow and Bone

“If the only thing I did for the rest of my life was treat others kindly, file manila folders, and sit on the porch watching the grass grow it would be enough. It had to be. I did the math. The number of people who actually achieve a significant legacy is trifling compared to the vast number who go from birth to death living relatively unremarkable lives (at least on the surface). And maybe that wasn't the failure I'd been conditioned to believe. Maybe there was something to be said in praise of an outwardly unremarkable life. Maybe there were deep everyday forms of magic that had nothing to do with profound acomplishments or a Twitter feed that resonated down through the ages.”
― Clara Bensen

“The remarkable thing now was emerging from the vortex, a thing for which no one had words and Nate was only able to punctuate with “Holy Satan’s crotch.”
― Edgar Cantero, Meddling Kids

“And then, I swear to God, it waves at me! One of its little arms waves at me!

I wave back.

It waves again.

Okay, this could go on all day. I head back toward the airlock.

Your move, guys.

...

Their move is taking a long time and I'm getting bored.

Wow, I'm sitting here in a spaceship in the Tau Ceti system waiting for the intelligent aliens I just met to continue our conversation... and I'm bored. Humans being have a remarkable ability to accept the abnormal and make it normal.”
― Andy Weir, Project Hail Mary

“Look for something different, something remarkable in a guy, and you won’t be disappointed.”
― Jameson Currier, The Third Buddha

“Christ’s Atonement provides more than an opportunity to live a happy life later; it promises and provides for a remarkable life now.”
― Toni Sorenson

“Why do you care what happens to her? I thought we humans were vapors to you, here today and gone tomorrow.â€�
“Caspida is . . . different. She reminds me of someone, someone I’d give my life for if I could.�
“The queen?� he asks. “The one who died?�
“Roshana. My dear Ro.� My voice is soft as a ripple on the water. “She once ruled the Amulens, and Caspida is her descendant. She has Roshana’s strength of spirit, and I cannot look at her without thinking of my old friend. If she were to come to harm on my account . . . I could not bear that through the centuries.� I already carry a mountain of shame, a constant reminder of that day on Mount Tissia.

― Jessica Khoury, The Forbidden Wish

“Living and thinking, for yourself, is not a remarkable life, nor valuable, for humanity. It is an undeclared death of oneself. The life devoted, to others, creates relations and friendship, love, and unity, in societies and its inhabitants to make life colourful.”
― Ehsan Sehgal

“She couldn’t explain it except with the word: there. She was there. Present in herself. She wasn’t always, so it was worth remarking upon.”
― Rachel Hartman, Tess of the Road

“Who knows whether the best of men be known, or whether there be not more remarkable persons forgot, than any that stand remembered in the known account of time? The first man had been as unknown as the last, and Methuselah's long life had been his only chronicle.”
― Thomas Browne, Urne Burial

“Watching her with the other children, it struck Helen once again that there was something that still set the girl apart, something just out of reach. Lyric was remarkable. A breathtaking horizon and endless ocean, deep and mysterious. No matter how well Helen got to know her, she always felt as though she never truly would.”
― Corinne Beenfield, The Ocean's Daughter :

“Authors are the closest thing man would come to understanding God. It is a remarkable thing to conjure up a life and create its story.”
― Palle Oswald

“Best man describes himself by remarkable actions, not by persuasive words.”
― Bradley B. Dalina

“Don’t just do the obvious and predictable stuff, be remarkable!”
― Bernard Kelvin Clive

“The candle is the light of life that is constantly thriving to hang on and light up the darkness of life. Mwalimu Julius Kambarage Nyerere was a candle in the wind. He was a fighter fighting the odds to survive. And he did so with incredible power to change the world. Whether your life is long or short upon the earth, it is remarkable that our little flames burns on in spite of the wind, or the challenges of life.”
― Enock Maregesi

“Her enthusiasm for the organ is contagious. Enough to convince you that the alphabet posters in kindergarten classrooms should declare that "P" is for 'placenta'...”
― Angela Garbes, Like a Mother: A Feminist Journey Through the Science and Culture of Pregnancy

“A Remarkable Woman

She is so exquisite
Even without makeup on her face
She is very special
Even if she lets others seem important
She is selfless
Even when the selfish surround her
She offers a lot of love
Even so, she needs it often
She has a big heart
Even though she appears small
She lets others belong
But she longs to be appreciated

She adds value
Despite her worth being undermined
She is attentive
Nonetheless, no one pays attention to her needs
She is patient
No matter how long it takes, she waits
She is generous
While no one could be willing to give
She is forgiving
Much as the worst was done against her
She is trusting
Albeit her trust was broken countless times

She is wise
In spite of being treated otherwise by some
She works hard
Notwithstanding that she requires rest
She is helpful
Yet, there is none to lend her a hand
She makes life seem easy
Whilst going through difficult times herself
She stands by others
Although there is no one to stand by her
She chooses to be peaceful
Against being somehow provoked

She is calm
Undeterred by what is not
She is bold
In defiance of tough battles ahead
She shows bravery
Still in the presence of adversity
She is fearless
Though she may seem helpless
She is spirited
Contrary to attempts to bring her down
She is never destroyed
Irrespective of the storms she faces sometimes

She keeps moving forward
Granting the hindrances along the way
She stands in the gap
And makes things happen
She does not look down on others
Regardless of some doing so to her
She recognises those who shielded her on rainy days
Whenever the sun shines upon her
She keeps running her race
Because she knows for her, grace is abundant
She wears a smile always
Since prayer keeps her in the right place

She is an inspiration
A pioneer of transformation
Cheerleader for economic revolution
How the world adores such
A remarkable woman!”
