Deja Vu Quotes

We've searched our database for all the quotes and captions related to Deja Vu. Here they are! All 100 of them:

Admit it. You aren’t like them. You’re not even close. You may occasionally dress yourself up as one of them, watch the same mindless television shows as they do, maybe even eat the same fast food sometimes. But it seems that the more you try to fit in, the more you feel like an outsider, watching the “normal people” as they go about their automatic existences. For every time you say club passwords like “Have a nice day” and “Weather’s awful today, eh?”, you yearn inside to say forbidden things like “Tell me something that makes you cry” or “What do you think deja vu is for?”. Face it, you even want to talk to that girl in the elevator. But what if that girl in the elevator (and the balding man who walks past your cubicle at work) are thinking the same thing? Who knows what you might learn from taking a chance on conversation with a stranger? Everyone carries a piece of the puzzle. Nobody comes into your life by mere coincidence. Trust your instincts. Do the unexpected. Find the others…
Timothy Leary
Deja Vu All Over Again
Yogi Berra
There's an opposite to déjà vu. They call it jamais vu. It's when you meet the same people or visit places, again and again, but each time is the first. Everybody is always a stranger. Nothing is ever familiar.
Chuck Palahniuk (Choke)
Once you embrace your value, talents and strengths, it neutralizes when others think less of you.
Rob Liano
She was overwhelmed with a premonition. Deja vu but from the future, looking back to this moment looking forward.
William Kely McClung (Black Fire)
Does it give you deja voodoo how alike the houses are?" "That's deja vu, and I hate you right now." "For narcing on you to your mom? Wait until you hear what I tell your dad." From the sly grin on his face, she knew what he was thinking. "Don't you even think about it." "I could tell him about the time we-" "Hell, no.
Rachel Caine (Ghost Town (The Morganville Vampires, #9))
I'm having the weirdest sense of deja vu right now," said the green caterpiller. Duh!" said the blue caterpiller. "Do you think, just maybe, that's because you predicted this?" Oh, yeah." --The Looking Glass Wars
Frank Beddor
What is it about the moment you fall in love? How can such a small measure of time contain such enormity? I suddenly realize why people believe in déjà vu, why people believe they've lived past lives, because there is no way the years I've spent on this earth could possibly encapsulate what I'm feeling. The moment you fall in love feels like it has centuries behind it, generations—all of them rearranging themselves so that this precise, remarkable intersection could happen. In you heart, in your bones, no matter how silly you know it is, you feel that everything has been leading to this, all the secret arrows were pointing here, the universe and time itself crafted this long ago, and you are just now realizing it, you are now just arriving at the place you were always meant to be.
David Levithan (Every Day (Every Day, #1))
He shifted over without comment, lifting the blankets, and I scrambled into the warm sheets beside him. He smelled like soap and sleep and bare skin. He smelled familiar. Not the deja vu familiar of Guy or Mel. Familiar like...the ache in your chest of homesickness, of longing for harbor after weeks of rough seas or craving a fire's warmth after snow--or wanting back something you should never have given away.
Josh Lanyon (The Dark Tide (The Adrien English Mysteries, #5))
Intuition comes in several forms: - a sudden flash of insight, visual or auditory - a predictive dream - a spinal shiver of recognition as something is occurring or told to you - a sense of knowing something already - a sense of deja vu - a snapshot image of a future scene or event - knowledge, perspective or understanding divined from tools which respond to the subconscious mind
Sylvia Clare (Trusting Your Intuition: Rediscover Your True Self to Achieve a Richer, More Rewarding Life (Pathways, 6))
There's an expression, deja vu, that means that you feel like you've been somewhere before, that you've somehow already dreamed it or experienced it in your mind.
Neil Gaiman (The Graveyard Book)
We’re all damaged. It’s a universal component of the human condition, like the stages of grief, deja vu, and expired coupons.
Tim Dorsey (Nuclear Jellyfish (Serge Storms, #11))
Is déjà vu actually the specter of false timelines that never happened but did, casting their shadows upon reality?
Blake Crouch (Recursion)
Anyone can plot a course with a map or compass; but without a sense of who you are, you will never know if you're already home.
Shannon L. Alder
I can’t even think about what life “could have been” like in Boston, without crying. It’s like deja-vu, I don’t think me and Boston were ever meant to be.
Cecelia Ahern (Love, Rosie)
Party lights hang over the street, yellow and red and green. Sadie stumbles over someone’s chair, but I’m ready for this and I catch her easily by the arm. “Sorry, clumsy,” she says. “You always were, Sadie. One of your more endearing traits.” Before she can ask about that I slip my arm around her waist. She slips hers around mine, still looking up at me. The lights skate across her cheeks and shine in her eyes. We clasp hands, fingers folding together naturally, and for me the years fall away like a coat that’s too heavy and too tight. In that moment, I hope on thing above all others: that she was not too busy to find at least one good man … She speaks in a voice almost too low to be heard over the music. But I hear her – I always did. “Who are you, George?” “Someone you knew in another life, honey.
Stephen King (11/22/63)
Right now I'm having amnesia and deja vu at the same time. I think I've forgotten this before.
Steven Wright
Midnight Omen Deja vu" - Because everyone should experience love in the Caribbean...at least once in a lifetime.
Marti Melville
As our eyes meet, I get a kind of deja vu, but instead of feeling like I'm repeating something in the past, it feels like I'm experiencing something that will happen in my future...It's like knowing all the words to a song but still finding them beautiful and surprising.
Nicola Yoon (The Sun Is Also a Star)
I believed in immaculate conception and spontaneous combustion. I believed in aliens from outer space and vampires, prophecy, and the resurrection of the dead. I had deja vu many times each day. I was thirteen.
Kate Braverman (Small Craft Warnings: Stories (Western Literature and Fiction Series))
I now understand that deja vu is the awareness of the simultaneous occurrence of a nearly identical event in an alternate universe as perceived by another version of yourself. That haunting sense of unreality and the flimsiness of time, of identity itself, is a window through which we glimpse another world.
David Czuchlewski (The Muse Asylum)
with shrunken fingers we ate our oranges and bread, shivering in the parked car; though we know we had never been there before, we knew we had been there before.
Margaret Atwood (Procedures for Underground)
I'm having amnesia and deja vu at the same time. I think I've forgotten this before.
Barry F. Beck
It's like deja-vu, all over again.
Yogi Berra
Deja vu. Deja su. Deja vecu.
Victoria E. Schwab (The Invisible Life of Addie LaRue)
What do we call this moment? A serendipity mixed into a nostalgia mixed into a deja vu mixed into an epiphany!
Avijeet Das
I read once that you get deja vu when the two halves of your brain process things at different speeds: the right half a few seconds before the left, or vice versa…that would explain the weird double feeling that it leaves you with, like the world is splitting in half--or you are.
Lauren Oliver (Before I Fall)
She said, I'm going to miss you when you when I wake up. Don't wake up, he answered. But he did. Kestrel, beside him on the grass, said. "Did I wake you? I didn't mean to.
Marie Rutkoski (The Winner's Kiss (The Winner's Trilogy, #3))
It was not a coincidence. It was not deja vu. It was destiny. It was my destiny to meet her.
P. Wish (The Doppelgänger)
Sometimes I have these premonitions and I don't forget them, so I will be prepared when they happen.
Isabel Allende (Island Beneath the Sea)
The moments of déjà vu were coming more frequently, now. Moments would stutter and hiccup and falter and repeat. Sometimes whole mornings would repeat. Once I lost a day. Time seemed to be breaking down entirely.
Neil Gaiman (Fragile Things: Short Fictions and Wonders)
DAMN! damn it all down took one to the chest without even a sound so WHAT! what are you worth the things you love or the people you hurt HEY! it's like deja vu a suicidal maniac with nothing to lose so wait, it's the exception to the rule everyone of us in EXPENDABLE
Shinedown (Shinedown - The Sound of Madness (Guitar Recorded Versions))
Shocked my old friend from China, Deja Vu, when I turned up at his door without notice.
Nikhil Sharda (Sans Destination)
Deja Vu confirms a faithful path worth taking.
T.F. Hodge (From Within I Rise: Spiritual Triumph over Death and Conscious Encounters With the Divine Presence)
If you don't realize a deja vu, you have to realize you're creating a deja vu
Nusam Wele Ama Ina
In some precious and personal moments there are brief, sudden surges of recognition of an immortal insight, a doctrinal deja vu. These flashes from the mirror of memory can remind us and inspire us, especially in the midst of life's taxing telestial traffic jams, which can otherwise cause us to grow weary and faint in our minds.
Neal A. Maxwell
Non sono riuscito ad averti vicino ma questo non significa non averti dentro. Sai cosa sarò io per te? Sarò sempre quel piccolissimo particolare che ogni tanto scorgerai nell’aria, nelle cose che guardi, nella loro bellezza, quel dettaglio emotivo che ti viene incontro. L’attimo che ti innamora l’anima per l’inquadratura di un tramonto, unico, imprevisto, che torna in mente all’ improvviso. Il diversivo, il tempo di un sorriso quasi inatteso che ti confonde i respiri, il deja vu, la sponda di un sogno. Le storie finiscono mentre quel piccolo particolare, quel quasi niente, mi farà restare con te per sempre.
Massimo Bisotti
The characters tell their story - I am merely the tool used to record it
Marti Melville (Silver Moon Deja Vu)
What is it about the moment you fall in love? How can such small measure of time contain such enormity? I suddenly realize why people believe in deja vu, why people believe they've lived past lives, because there is no way the years I've spent on this earth could possibly encapsulate what I'm feeling.

David Levithan (Every Day (Every Day, #1))
semua orang pada setiap masa, mencari sesuatu yang hilang dalam hidup mereka. tidak kira sama ada sesuatu yang hilang itu adalah orang yang mereka sayang atau hati yang telah kosong dan dipenuhi kegelisahan...mereka akan terus mencarinya. mencari supaya mereka dapat jadi gembira semula. dapat merasa bahagia semula -Ashraf
John Norafizan (Garis-garis Deja Vu)
Franz said 'Your picture, Viki, suggests that sense of breaking-up we feel in the modern world. Families, nations, classes, other loyalty groups falling apart. Things changing before you get to know them. Death on the installment plan – or decay by jumps. Instantaneous birth. Something out of nothing. Reality replacing science fiction so fast that you can't tell which is which. Constant sense of deja-vu - 'I was here before, but when, how?' Even the possibility that there's no real continuity between events, just inexplicable gaps. And of course every gap – every crack – means a new perching place for horror.
Fritz Leiber
This was too much for him to handle. It was like watching memories of his life play out from a different camera angle, sometimes with new scenes added. He was living DVD extras.
Dennis Sharpe (Destroyer of Worlds)
We are all simply reacting, played by events that occurred centuries before.
Marti Melville (Midnight Omen Deja vu)
Ama bugünü, dünü unutmak için yaşamak hiçbir halta yaramadı. Aksine... Unutulması gerekip de unutulmayanlar, katlana katlana çoğaldı. Meğer önce yarını unutmak gerekiyormuş... Her doğanın yeni bir güneş olduğuna inanacak kadar unutmak... Her güneşi ilk ve son kez gördüğüne emin olacak kadar unutmak. ‘Bugünkü biraz daha geniş sanki!’ ya da ‘Dünkü güneş daha ovaldi, değil mi?’ diyecek kadar unutmak... Her günü ilk kez yaşıyormuş gibi hissedecek kadar unutmak gerekiyormuş... Ve de bağırmak: ‘Hangi dinde deja vu yok, ben ona inanacağım!’ Ve de susmak: Nerede diriliş yok, ben orada olacağım.
Hakan Günday (Daha)
He smelled like soap and sleep and bare skin. He smelled familiar. Not the deja vu familiar of Guy or Mel. Familiar like... the ache in your chest of homesickness, of longing for harbor after weeks of rough seas or craving a fire's warmth after snow--or wanting back something you should never have given away.
Josh Lanyon (The Dark Tide (The Adrien English Mysteries, #5))
Anyone who's ever flown London to Sydney, seated next to or anywhere in the proximity of a fussy baby, you'll no doubt fall right into the swing of things in Hell. What with the strangers and crowding and seemingly endless hours of waiting for nothing to happen, for you Hell will feel like one long, nostalgic hit a deja vu. Especially if your in-flight movie was The English Patient. In Hell, whenever the demons announce they're going to treat everyone to a big-name Hollywood movie, don't get too excited because it's always The English Patient, or, unfortunately, The Piano. It's never The Breakfast Club.
Chuck Palahniuk (Damned (Damned, #1))
Deja vu. Deja su. Deja vecu. Already seem. Already known. Already lived.
Victoria E. Schwab (The Invisible Life of Addie LaRue)
We were utterly alone. The hot-springs hotel where we'd had lunch, and the iron bridge, lay hidden in the shadow of the mountains. Every once in a while, as if remembering its duty, the sun showed its face through a break in the clouds. All we could hear were the screeches of crows and the rush of water. Someday, somewhere, I will see this scene, I felt. The opposite of deja-vu - not the feeling that I'd already seen what was around me, but the premonition that I would someday.
Haruki Murakami (South of the Border, West of the Sun)
YOU SEE THEM SOMETIMES. They're just out of the corner of your eye, when you're not expecting them, and sometimes if you close your eyes very, very tightly, and open them quickly, there will be a quick flash of them behind your eyelids before they dissipate. They are the echoes of deja vu, they are the regrets that are fleeting, they are that which you didn't know you missed... They are everywhere and nowhere.
Peter David (The Quiet Place (Star Trek: New Frontier, #7))
On the fifth night of our search, I see a plesiosaur. It is a megawatt behemoth, bronze and blue-white, streaking across the sea floor like a torpid comet. Watching it, I get this primordial deja vu, like I'm watching a dream return to my body. It wings towards me with a slow, avian grace. Its long neck is arced in an S-shaped curve; its lizard body is the size of Granana's carport. Each of its ghost flippers pinwheels colored light. I try to swim out of its path, but the thing's too big to avoid. That Leviathan fin, it shivers right through me. It's a light in my belly, cold and familiar. And I flash back to a snippet from school, a line from a poem or a science book, I can't remember which: 'There are certain prehistoric things that swim beyond extinction'.
Karen Russell (St. Lucy's Home for Girls Raised by Wolves)
When you're reading a good noir, the shocks and twists have a way of feeling deja vu-like, as if you saw them coming, but hoped the characters would take a left turn... not answer the phone, not sleep with that woman, not sell drugs to those cops... but knew they would. It would have been wrong if they didn't, and the real surprise can be that you care about someone you know is in for hell. You relate to them, even when their hell is so much bigger than your own. But we're all going to die, and we all make mistakes. The best noir stories make you forget plot entirely by giving you characters that feel so well-realised you can't look away as they fall.
Ed Brubaker
Déjà vu is simply remembrance of the future.
Wayne Gerard Trotman
Jika mahu bangkit di gunung terbanglah dengan sayap sendiri bukan mengharap puputan angin yang bertiup tak keruan arah. Jika mahu bangkit di padang terokalah denai pilihan sendiri bukan laluan yang tak dikenal disogoh para gembala populist. (Kebangkitan)
Ramzah Dambul (Deja Vu Cinta Pencari Katarsis)
Iubirea este chimie pură...dar și în chimie există explozii. Iubirea este anatomie pură...dar și în organism există boli și dereglări, anomalii. Iubirea este totul...dar totul este un nimic. Totul este o continuitate amețitoare, un deja-vu continuu, o ruletă rusească de care mă lovesc instantaneu.
Rucsandra Tudoran (Spitalul celor pierduţi în iubire)
One day, it will all make sense, it will all be revealed. Until then, we learn to live and accept our shadows, our Déjà vu's, our dreams, our intuition that takes us to places that our minds never conceived, our bodies only perceived and our souls gladly remembered. Conversations and experiences amuse me, for I am experimenting with my feelings in ways that I can only do down here. Language makes up for a very interesting, yet bizarre way of putting thoughts into spoken form for the sound to move on in other peoples' ears, but every language, every sound, every word carries with it a long history, a deep culture and the souls of the many people who have previously used it throughout the centuries. Our hearts give us direction, hope and the passion to keep moving forward.. But what we do when they're frozen, broken, torn apart by an unhealthy way of living is what gives us new strength to push forward or kills us completely. Deep inside, we feed the entities that empower the fight between our internal demons and angels. We feed them with our thoughts, our emotions, our self-talk and the external talk that we lower our shields to at times. Whether good or bad, this brings about a change internally and at times there isn't much we can do to protect ourselves. At times, we need to let things be and go along with it. Of course, we're all worried, stressed, confused and lacking direction at times and we're in the same way at peace, stable and walking in the right direction once we get things sorted. Give it some time, give it some light, give it some love. You're not very far away.
Virgil Kalyana Mittata Iordache

David Levithan (Every Day (Every Day, #1))
The sensation of having already met someone, or what the French called deja vu, the feeling of having already seen something. There was probably a scientific explanation for it, but the older she got, the more she was inclined to give ino the the feeling that these moments were glimpses into a world greater than this physical one. It was as if there were cycles that repeated themselves over and over, but most people never saw the repetition; they were too deeply enmeshed in their own path to see.
Malinda Lo (Last Night at the Telegraph Club)
Kalau benar pergelutan ini merajakan demokrasi pada takhta liberal: Kita adalah khadam membontoti kapitalis bangsat, kita bukan nakhoda mengemudi bahtera bangsa. (Pergelutan)
Ramzah Dambul (Deja Vu Cinta Pencari Katarsis)
Do you ever have Deja Vu?’ ‘I could ask in the kitchen, see if they've got any in.
Tony Rattigan (Split Infinity)
She only came back when she felt like it, in dreams and lies and broken-down deja vu.
Rainbow Rowell (Eleanor & Park)
I mean you feel familiar. Kind of. It’s weird. Like deja vu or something.” I bite back a smile as I shake my head. “Nope. It was just that one time.
Jessica Brody (In Some Other Life)
Hostility," Cal said. "It's deja vu all over again. How's your head?" "The pain comes and goes," Min said. "And then there are the voices.
Jennifer Crusie (Bet Me)
When I was cooking I enjoyed a sense of being ‘out’ of myself. The action of dicing vegetables and warming oil made my hands tingle and my thoughts switch to a different hemisphere, right brain rather than left, or left rather than right. In my mind there were many rooms and, just as I still got lost in the labyrinth of corridors at college, I often found myself lost, with a sense of déjà vu, in some obscure part of my cerebral cortex, the part of the brain that plays a key role in perceptual awareness, attention and memory. Everything I had lived through or imagined or dreamed appeared to have been backed up on a video clip and then scattered among those alien rooms. I could stumble into any number of scenes, from the horrifically sexual, horror-movie sequences that were crude and painful, to visualizing Grandpa polishing his shoes.
Alice Jamieson (Today I'm Alice: Nine Personalities, One Tortured Mind)
The moment that followed was one that would forever change the course of her life. She reflected on it later, and wondered how such a short matter of seconds could alter so permanently every part of her existence. Like an unstoppable line of dominoes, the moment was the flick that set everything into motion.
Jennifer Perry (Deja Vu- A Novella)
This morning from a dewy motorway I saw the new camp for the internees: A bomb had left a crater of fresh clay In the roadside, and over in the trees Machine-gun posts defined a real stockade. There was that white mist you get on a low ground And it was deja-vu, some film made Of Stalag 17, a bad dream with no sound. Is there a life before death? That's chalked up In Ballymurphy. Competence with pain, Coherent miseries, a bite and sup: we hug our little destiny again. -Whatever You Say Say Nothing
Seamus Heaney (North)
I had a feeling of deja-vu when, the next afternoon, Julian answered the door exactly as he had the first time, by opening it only a crack and looking through it warily, as if there were something wonderful in his office that needed guarding, something that he was careful not everyone should see. It was a feeling I would come to know well in the next months. Even now, years later and far away, sometimes in dreams I find myself standing before that white door, waiting for him to appear like the gatekeeper in a fairy story: ageless, watchful, sly as a child.
Donna Tartt (The Secret History)
Why did my body have such a strange, visceral reaction to his presence? It felt almost like deja vu, like we have met before sometime, maybe once upon a dream. It’s like he’s just on the tip of my tongue, and I can’t help but feel like if maybe I had seen his face properly, I would know who he is.
Alexis Abbott (Bound for Life (Bound to the Bad Boy, #1))
I hadn't come this way much in high school, and I'd been "home" so infrequently since then that the roads I used to frequently travel gave me a vague sense of deja vu. I've been here before, but when? This confusion swelled in me as pride. It meant this was no longer home. You didn't reject me, I rejected you.
Jessica Knoll (Luckiest Girl Alive)
Those who have reached the seventh incarnation carry with them all that was learnt, suffered and experienced in the previous six. Life for them is a perpetual and unsatisfying deja vu. Nothing is new, truly interesting, truly vital. Everything has done before, even before it begins. Such a soul is said to live a 'Saturday Life
Radclyffe Hall
usually we find later that we did good its all about how things will happen if we allow our own inner to steer just like a wrapping for a gift when we realize it's all been Déjà vu
levi paul taylor
Exiting a bus, déjà vu overwhelmed me, that ephemeral phenomena of alignment so perfect it is eerie.
Aspen Matis (Your Blue Is Not My Blue: A Missing Person Memoir)
A déjà vu is your future self doing a past life regression.
David Mellen-Thomas
It was like yesterday’s déjà vu redux.
M.T. Bass
Loneliness struck again, its force doubled by how much she wished it was her family there instead. Then oddly enough, she met the boy's stare and that feeling came again, that this was her family.
Marcha A. Fox (A Dark of Endless Days (Star Trails Tetralogy, #2))
Someone tweeted a quote of mine yesterday, and got abused so much for posting it they deleted it. Any doubts free speech is under attack everywhere now vanished for me right there. The crushing of my words in another's mouth left me speechless. Words, and the freedom to express them, are getting torched on a bonfire of inanities. Then the chilling hand of déjà vu claps us on the back and tells us not to concern ourselves with independent thought.
Stewart Stafford
...curse them with dirty looks for the next hour or so, ... I`m funny when I want to be funny. Damn it, I`m hilarious. .... there on that boulevard, one hand in my inside pocket and another resting on the cab door, the world froze and went mute in a kind of revese deja vu, in which I saw Stella for the first time. ...the torn T-shirt which hardly covered her slowly freezing nakedness ... or perhaps those were the sizes of the holes in your soul, Artist, which you try to conceal with that buckets of paint?.. .. God let me find myself .
Zachary Karabashliev (18% Gray)
Но я не в силах справиться с фантомами повторения, с этими призраками, все чаще мелькающими в моей голове. В любом обществе у меня возникает чувство, словно я где-то когда-то уже слышал те же мнения, высказанные теми же людьми, таким же образом, теми же словами, в тех же выражениях, с теми же жестами.
W.G. Sebald (The Rings of Saturn)
June Afternoon" Didn't I tell you everything is possible in this deja vu? Try the river boat, the carousel, feed the pigeons, Bar-B-Q. Look at all the people, happy faces all around. Smiling, throwing kisses, busy making lazy sounds It's a bright June afternoon, it never gets dark. Wah-wah! Here comes the sun. Get your green, green tambourine, let's play in the park. Wah-wah! Here comes the sun Some folks are on blankets, slowly daydreaming and reaching for their food. Let's go buy an ice-cream and a magazine with an attitude and put on a cassette, we can pretend that you're a star cos life's so very simple just like la-la-la It's a bright June afternoon... There's a painter painting his masterpiece. There are some squirrels jumping in the trees, There's a wide-eyed boy with a red balloon. All my life I've longed for this afternoon.
Roxette
This is the work of a lifetime, here on earth: To invent the astral body, to create it. giving it our consciousness. Thus one will survive death. One could also die when one chooses… And on dying, not lose the awareness 'from here.' What has happened to you is a detachment of your astral body while your physical body sleeps. This occurs to vîras; it's an automatic unconscious process. Sometimes, by simple chance, a glimmer of consciousness reaches this fine body and then, on suddenly awakening or the next day, one gets the impression of experiencing something much more real than physical reality. The deja-vu of psychologists has its explanation in this phenomena of detachment. Have you seen those children who elevate a kite and send messages with little rolls of paper that go slowly up to the kite? So it is, more or less, with that other. The astral body breaks away, still attached to the physical body by a string which has been called a 'silver cord' that is only cut at death. Thanks to this cord we can go immeasurable distances without losing the connection with our physical bodies. It always returns. So it reaches consciousness, like those messages of children with their kite. Yes, we must become like children to enter into the Kingdom of Heaven… with our astral bodies. Pay attention to this other analogy: As a child finds itself joined to its mother by the umbilical cord, so the astral body is joined to its father, the physical body, by a silver cord. The child cries and despairs at birth, when the cord connecting him to his mother is cut. He thinks this is death, but it is a new life. The same befalls the vîra when he dies; when the silver cord is cut he enters into another life. Death is a new life. All this is archetypal. Only those events expressing archetypes have ontological reality.
Miguel Serrano
This sketch was more elaborate than the others, more complete. A river scene, with a tree in the foreground and a distant wood visible across a broad field. Behind a copse on the right-hand side, the twin-gabled roofline of a house could be seen, with eight chimneys and an ornate weather vane featuring the sun and moon and other celestial emblems. It was an accomplished drawing, but that's not why Elodie stared. She felt a pang of déjà vu so strong it exerted a physical pressure around her chest. She knew this place. The memory was as vivid as if she'd been there, and yet somehow Elodie knew that it was a location she'd visited only in her mind. The words came to her then as clear as birdsong at dawn: "Down the winding lane and across the meadow broad, to the river they went with their secrets and their sword." And she remembered. It was a story that her mother used to tell her. A child's bedtime story, romantic and tangled, replete with heroes, villains, and a Fairy Queen, set in a house within dark woods encircled by a long, snaking river.
Kate Morton (The Clockmaker's Daughter)
Say we’re only here because of stars and explosions. Things 
don’t need to realize themselves to survive, yet every man carries with him a dimension of irresolution regarding his existence that insecurely colors everything he does in a day. Intuition. A deep knowing. A recurrent dream. Have you ever had a dream that makes more sense than life? Explain coincidence. Explain the start. What is déjà vu? And is there not something eerie about being born into a world that was already prepared? It’s not that we want a God, it’s that everyone secretly knows there’s supposed to be one.
Kristian Ventura (The Goodbye Song)
Erlendur didn’t believe in premonitions, visions or dreams, nor reincarnation or karma, he didn’t believe in God although he’d often read the Bible, nor in eternal life or that his conduct in this world would affect whether he went to heaven or hell. He felt that life itself offered a mixture of the two. Then sometimes he experienced this incomprehensible and supernatural de´ja` -vu, experienced time and place as if he’d seen it all before, as if he stepped outside himself, became an onlooker to his own life. There was no way he could explain what it was that happened or why his mind played tricks on him like this.
Arnaldur Indriðason (Jar City (Inspector Erlendur, #3))
#1. No Escape and feature keys Today’s Apple Event confirmed many of the rumors surrounding the lengthy-awaited refresh of the Macbook Pro line. The Escape and Function keys at the laptops had been deserted in choose of a hint bar that changed relying at the software that is getting used. The last the Macbook Pro got a chief update was a shocking 4 years in the past and many guides are celebrating the brand new design. However, the lack of bodily Escape and Function keys is a disaster for one major set of Apple’s customers — Developers. Let’s test numbers: There are ~ 19 million developers inside the global. And Apple has managed to promote ~19 million Macs over the past four quarters. What a twist of fate! Yes, builders are drawn toward Apple products mainly for software program reasons: the Unix-like running gadget and the proprietary development atmosphere. But builders want to have a useful keyboard to make use of that software and now they don’t. Why Tim Cook, why? This isn’t to say that the contact bar is an inherently awful concept. You should locate it on pinnacle of the Esc and feature keys as opposed to doing away with them completely! Something like this: #2 Power. Almost no improvement for RAM and a processor The 2016 MacBook Pro ships with RAM and processor specifications that are nearly equal to the 2010 model. Deja vu? RAM: At least it appears like that, because the MacBook Pro has had alternatives of as much as 16 GB of RAM in view that 2010. The best difference now's that you pay for the update. Processors: The MacBook Pro had options with 2.4 gigahertz twin-middle processors again in 2010. Anything new in 2016? Not absolutely, well… nope.

A moment of deja vu hit me and the realization hit my chest. I suppressed the urge to push away and run out of my house screaming in frustration. What would it take to get this girl to leave me alone?
Sydney Aaliyah Michelle (Hope Series Box Set (Hope #1-3))
A thousand "tells" were broadcast every minute: a tic, a wince, a smell, a shadow, a draft, a flick of the hand, a door ajar. The human senses experienced them all. The human brain registered them. The human monkey mind, clamoring with the shouting littles of life, was lucky if it recognized one or two. The message from the gestalt trickled down in intuition, gut feelings, geese walking on one's grave, deja vu.

Carissa Ann Lynch (My Sister is Missing)
As is written, we drank from the waters of the Lethe before we were born, so as to completely forget our previous life. But why do we sometimes wake up in the middle of the night or why do we get a sudden flash of insight at three in the afternoon that we’ve already lived through this and we know what will happen from now on? Unexpected cracks have appeared. Cracks through which the light of the past streams in. And yet we are supposed to have forgotten everything. The waters of the Lethe aren’t what they used to be.
Georgi Gospodinov
I sucked in a breath, deja-vu hitting me hard. Flashbacks of her walking the Freedom Trail in that shirt, her ass swaying at its hem. Flashbacks of how she’d been wearing it when she begged me to kiss her—how it was one more stupid thing that justified to my desire-clogged brain why it was okay to do it. To take that kiss. To want to take her.
Rebecca Sharp (Archer (Reynolds Protective, #1))
i wonder if i’m the first person you called sunshine or kissed three times is this new to you too or is this what olivia was referring to when she wrote deja vu

Right now I'm having amnesia and deja vu at the same time. I think I've forgotten this before. Steven Wright

How is he?” Dana asked. “Your name was the first word out of his mouth,” Clarence said, “so I guess he’s okay. He’s sleeping now.” “Christ, the man came out of surgery less than a day ago,” Jeraldine said, “after they took a friggin’ bullet from his chest.
Polly Iyer (Murder Deja Vu)
Postojis u meni i prisecam se svega. Dovoljno da ne probijes kroz srce, dovoljno da me unistis ako se pojavis. Jos uvek stojim cvrsto na litici zaborava. A ti jos uvek ostajes, moj deza vi.
Tamara Stamenkovic
Let us repeat. The memory of the present is juxtaposed to the perception of the present.
Paolo Virno (Deja Vu and the End of History (Futures))
She considers a tray of flaky 'jesuites,' their centers redolent of frangipani cream, decorated with violet buds preserved in clouds of black crystal sugar. Or 'dulce de leche' tarts- caramelized swirls on a 'pate sucree' crust, glowing with chocolate, tiny muted peaks, ruffles of white pastry like Edwardian collars. But nothing seems special enough and nothing seems right. Nothing seems like Stanley. Avis brings out the meticulous botanical illustrations she did in school, pins them all around the kitchen like a room from Audubon's house. She thinks of slim layers of chocolate interspersed with a vanilla caramel. On top she might paint a frosted forest with hints of white chocolate, dashes of rosemary subtle as deja vu. A glissando of light spilling in butter-drops from one sweet lime leaf to the next. On a drawing pad she uses for designing wedding cakes, she begins sketching ruby-throated hummingbirds in flecks of raspberry fondant, a sub-equatorial sun depicted in neoclassical butter cream. At the center of the cake top, she draws figures regal and languid as Gauguin's island dwellers, meant to be Stanley, Nieves, and child. Their skin would be cocoa and coffee and motes of cherry melded with a few drops of cream. Then an icing border of tiny mermaids, nixies, selkies, and seahorses below, Pegasus, Icarus, and phoenix above.
Diana Abu-Jaber (Birds of Paradise)
Deja vu happens when this dream loses its continuity.

It was like that perfect song you replay over and over. And even if you weren’t to hear it again until years later you would know exactly the notes and exactly the sequence in which they would sound and exactly the feelings they would evoke.
