Richard Ford Quotes

What I know is, you have a better chance in life-of surviving it-if you tolerate loss well; manage not to be a cynic through it all;... to connect the unequal things into a whole that preserves the good, even if the good is not simple to find. We try, as my sister said. We try.

Richard Ford

He’d heard of this woman. The Dame de Doubtance, they called her: a madwoman and a caster of horoscopes. Gaultier gave her house-room and men and women came to her from all the known world and had their futures foretold—if she felt like it. She had given some help once to Lymond, on her own severe terms, because of a distant link, it was said, with his family. Plainly, a crazy old harridan. But if she was going to tell Lymond he ought to find a nice girl and marry her, Jerott wanted very much... Dorothy Dunnett
