David R Smith’s Quotes

“MEMORY IS A KIND of friendship, a friendship with the more necessary parts of oneself. How often do we reach for the past’s genial knowledge to meet the unknowables of the present, asking once again that the anterior world might blossom into life and colour the current day? In this at least I cannot be alone.”
― Andrew O'Hagan, Be Near Me

“Among themselves, the angels were happy to acknowledge that life in heaven was the most boring thing ever invented, with the chorus of angels constantly proclaiming to the four winds the lord’s greatness, generosity and even his beauty.”
― José Saramago, Cain
