I doubted it. Some people say trying is all that matters, but unfortunately it's only the first step. Sometimes you're got to catch a break and win one, too. You've got to stand up on the bar and do the antler dance. Plus, as I now knew as well as anyone, people really suck at consoling themselves. James Patterson
Elizabeth Gaskell quote: "There is always a pleasure in unravelling a mystery, in..."
There is always a pleasure in unravelling a mystery, in catching at the gossamer clue which will guide to certainty. Elizabeth Gaskell
Ralph Ellison quote: "The clock ticked with empty urgency, as though trying to catch..."
The clock ticked with empty urgency, as though trying to catch up with the time. In the street a siren howled. Ralph Ellison
It's amazing how lies grow. You start with a small one that seems easy to cover, then you get boxed in and tell another one. Then another. People believe you at first, then they act upon your lies, and you catch yourself wishing you'd simply told the truth. John Grisham
