Quotes by David Canford  (?)
Quotes are added by the Goodreads community and are not verified by Goodreads. (Learn more)

“Good, because I don't believe in the capitalist system that makes the rich richer and keeps the poor enslaved. Did you know the Nazis that you fought against just reinvented themselves after the war? Persuaded the United States that they were a lesser evil than the Soviets. They made the world fear communism more than fascism, to enable them to infiltrate and control the levers of power. They've even kept their shrine right here in this city.”
David Canford, Betrayal in Venice: A story of deceit, dilemma and heartache in the world's most beguiling city

“But everyone had their Achilles heel, even Ted. It was just a case of finding it.”
David Canford, When the Water Runs Out

“Now his wish to visit Venice was being fulfilled in a way that he would never have wanted.”
David Canford, Betrayal in Venice: A story of deceit, dilemma and heartache in the world's most beguiling city

“Ennui clogged our souls like cold mutton fat. Our bones ached because of it. The clock’s hands stood at four, and supper was not till six, and there was nothing left remarkable beneath the visiting moon.”
George Orwell, The Spike

“The Road goes ever on and on
Down from the door where it began.
Now far ahead the Road has gone,
And I must follow, if I can,
Pursuing it with eager feet,
Until it joins some larger way
Where many paths and errands meet.
And whither then? I cannot say”
J.R.R. Tolkien, The Fellowship of the Ring

“All that is gold does not glitter,
Not all those who wander are lost;
The old that is strong does not wither,
Deep roots are not reached by the frost.

From the ashes a fire shall be woken,
A light from the shadows shall spring;
Renewed shall be blade that was broken,
The crownless again shall be king.”
J.R.R. Tolkien, The Fellowship of the Ring

“It took being forced into unwanted matchmaking for me to discover who I was, what I wanted, and my own perfect match. Isn’t that what we all want down deep? To be seen for who we are, even with all our flaws, and be loved anyway. Completely.”
Pepper D. Basham, Authentically, Izzy: A fun, low-spice, bookish rom-com told through emails, texts, and letters

“Only two things are infinite, the universe and human stupidity, and I'm not sure about the former.
- Albert Einstein”
