Vaguely at first, then more distinctly, I realized that man is an eternal stranger on this planet.
He had followed the trail left by a dead man. It was only now that he realized it might lead only to a grave.
Just because it's broken doesn't mean it loses its importance. And I figured I'd give it to you one day when you realized it was okay to make mistakes.
I realized marvelling at nature was a deep pleasure of mine.
As I grew older, I realized that it was much better to insist on the genuine forms of nature, for simplicity is the greatest adornment of art.
For a brief moment, I considered deconstructing the song and going down a cerebral road, but then I realized it would kill what is most powerful about it.
Just recently Ive learned to be okay with myself without wearing makeup. I think it was a special someone telling me that I didnt need it. I started taking care of my skin and realized I didnt need as much as I thought I did.
I've realized that aging is the younger cousin of dying. . . . How much time do I have left? We become aware that we're on the downside of the mountain, coasting toward our final days.

Then she kissed me and I realized she probably was right, there must be fifty ways to leave your lover.
God can never be realized by one who is not pure of heart.
My abortion was so long ago I didn't think I needed help. I hoped God had forgiven me but I hadn't realized I didn't forgive myself. After attending this safe, nurturing group I know that I am forgiven and set free.
On the fourth day of telecommuting, I realized that clothes are totally unnecessary.
The little details really connect for people in ways I never realized before. I think that's why some of the movies have done well, because people are relating to things that I'm willing to expose.
My atheism doesn't define my day-to-day life at all. But I realize - and maybe it is because, unlike people who sort of stay comfortably in a religion, I had to do a lot of thinking and reading before I realized that I was an atheist.
I have a lot of growing up to do. I realized that the other day inside my fort.
Make no little plans. They have no magic to stir one's blood and probably themselves will not be realized.
