One of my personal sayings:
"The best comebacks you ever think of are the ones you didn't think of when they were necessary."

"Well, it's not just a daydream if you start to make it your life."
- "She's On Fire", Train
An attempt at a shortened version of Dr. Manhattan's thermodynamic miracle speech in Watchmen, by Alan Moore and Dave Gibbons:
"Thermodynamic miracles... events with odds against so astronomical they're effectively impossible, like oxygen becoming gold. I long to observe such a thing.
And yet in each human coupling, a thousand million sperm vie for a single egg. Multiply those odds be countless generations, against the odds of your ancestors being alive; meeting; siring this precise son, that exact daughter...
Until your mother loves a man she has every reason to hate, and of that union, of the thousand million children competing for fertilization, it was you, only you, that emerged.
To distill so specific a form from that chaos of improbability, like turning air to gold... that is the crowning unlikelihood.
The thermodynamic miracle.
[...]But the world is so full of people, so crowded with these miracles that they become commonplace and we forget...
I forget.
We gaze continually at the world and it grows dull in our perceptions. Yet seen from another's vantage point, as if new, it may still take your breath away."
