More quotes by Richard Ford
Only sometimes you can't feel anything about a subject without hypothesizing its extinction.
Richard Ford

Paul Ryan, he is the real evil genius of the Republican party. He with his little hateful widow's peak and his smirky, snarly, simpering non-entity self, that's who I detest. Trump's just a moron, but Ryan is ugly and evil.

Richard Ford
Most things don't stay the way they are for very long. I take nothing for granted and try to be ready for the change that's soon to come.
Richard Ford
I grew up in Mississippi being told it was a great place, but not feeling that. When I finally began reading seriously, literature showed me something about where I was from which was worthwhile.
Richard Ford
I'm kind of a distractible guy.
Richard Ford
I have a theory... that someplace at the heart of most compelling stories is something that doesn't make sense.
Richard Ford
At the exact moment any decision seems to be being made, it's usually long after the real decision was actually made--like light we see emitted from stars.
Richard Ford
If loneliness is the disease, the story is the cure.
Richard Ford
I don't have a very logical and orderly mind.
Richard Ford
If sportswriting teaches you anything, and there is much truth to it as well as plenty of lies, it is that for your life to be worth anything you must sooner or later face the possibility of terrible, searing regret. Though you must also manage to avoid it or your life will be ruined.
Richard Ford
