Richard Russo Quotes

Just because things happen slow doesn't mean you'll be ready for them. If they happened fast, you'd be alert for all kinds of suddenness, aware that speed was trump. "Slow" works in an altogether different principle, on the deceptive impression that there's plenty of time to prepare, which conceals the central fact, that no matter how slow things go, you'll always be slower.

You are an idealist of the worst kind - the romantic idealist. Born to destroy and self destruct. Virginia C. Andrews
