Quotes by Moira Crone  (?)

“When your life is not the primrose path, you still have to walk your road. You have to be a judge, pry right from wrong, figure out what ugly things the good can perch in, too.”
Moira Crone, The Ice Garden

“She was happy just to hold her cup of tea and set it down on a stack of books, right next to another cup she had drunk from the day before. I found this very interesting.”
Moira Crone, The Ice Garden

“On the barns were peeling painted signs for RC Cola and Chesterfields and Jergen's Furniture and Holmes Appliances. We went around the towns where these stores were. The places practically begged you to take the detours--they put up so many signs for a bypass or a loop road, you would think they were ashamed of anyone actually driving through, seeing them. Our part of the world, I felt, was unpopular to people, and I was already sorry about this.”
Moira Crone, The Ice Garden

Irvin Yalom
