• Depression moods lead, almost invariably, to accidents.

• The liberated man is not the one who is freed in his ideal reality, his inner truth, or his transparency; he is the man who changes spaces, who circulates, who changes sex, clothes, and habits according to fashion, rather than morality, and who changes opinions not as his conscience dictates but in response to opinion polls. (Jean Baudrillard) [reality/truth/changes/changes]
• Its idea of production value is spending a million dollars dressing up a story that any good writer would throw away. Its vision of the rewarding movie is a vehicle for some glamour-puss with two expressions and eighteen changes of costume, or for some male idol of the muddled millions with a permanent hangover, six worn-out acting tricks, the build of a lifeguard, and the mentality of a chicken-strangler. (Raymond Chandler) [value/movie/changes]

How else, indeed, to clap the net over the butterfly of the moment? for the moment passes, it is forgotten; the mood is gone; life itself is gone.

(Vita Sackville-West) [moment/life/changes/mind]

• We perceive and are affected by changes too subtle to be described. (Henry David Thoreau) [changes]

• Your life changes. Everything has to be done perfectly, and I didn't follow that. (Shannen Doherty) [life/changes/follow]
