Quotes by Jane Goodger (?)

“Dorothea sniffed and looked around the room, her distaste clear. “Try to be polite, Mother,” Marjorie said. “I am always polite.” “Then try to be nice.”

“He wanted a wife, but this chase, this dance one had to do to get a wife, was downright wearying. Perhaps that’s why he’d been such a failure at finding a bride. He wanted it to be easy.

Jane’s Quotes

“What is objectionable, what is dangerous about extremists is not that they are extreme, but that they are intolerant. The evil is not what they say about their cause, but what they say about their opponents.”
