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
Someone ... tell us what's important, because we no longer know.
Richard Ford
Any rainy summer morning, of course, has the seeds of gloomy alienation sown in. But a rainy summer morning far from home - when your personal clouds don't move but hang - can easily produce the feeling of the world as seen from the grave. This I know.
Richard Ford
If you lose all hope, you can always find it again.
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
Some idiotic things are well worth doing.
Richard Ford
The way in which sports focuses more on the peccadilloes, lives and putative personalities of athletes and less on the finer points of playing games, I've become less interested in it. I don't want to write sports profiles.
Richard Ford
Theres a lot to be said for doing what youre not supposed to do, and the rewards of doing what youre supposed to do are more subtle and take longer to become apparent, which maybe makes it less attractive. But your life is the blueprint you make after the building is built.
Richard Ford
I started reading literature at 17 or 18, and I felt this extra beat to life.
Richard Ford
Life's passed along to us empty. We have to make up the happiness part.
Richard Ford
America beats on you so hard the whole time. You are constantly being pummeled by other people's rights and their sense of patriotism.
