If you lose all hope, you can always find it again.

~ Richard Ford

It is no loss to mankind when one writer decides to call it a day. When a tree falls in the forest, who cares but the monkeys?

~ Richard Ford

And I think that in myself (and perhaps evident in what I write) fear of loss and the corresponding instinct to protect myself against loss are potent forces.

~ Richard Ford

I had written all I was going to write, if the truth had been known, and there is nothing wrong with that. If more writers knew that, the world would be saved a lot of bad books, and more people--men and women alike--could go on to happier, more productive lives.

~ Richard Ford
