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.

More quotes by Richard Ford
Life's passed along to us empty. We have to make up the happiness part.
Richard Ford
I'm intrigued by how ordinary behavior exists so close beside its opposite.
Richard Ford
If you lose all hope, you can always find it again.
Richard Ford
Some idiotic things are well worth doing.
Richard Ford
The ways in which things are superficially similar but also distinct is interesting to me.
Richard Ford
Some people think that writers are innately solitary and that there's a kind of romance to that solitariness. I tend to think that what writers really want to do is get accepted into things. They want to get accepted into society, into culture, into intelligentsia, into the fun. Writing is their mechanism, their instrument, for doing that.
Richard Ford
In order to write novels for a living - it's not pathological, but I do think and worry and brood and fidget about stuff that I'm working on.
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
I don't have a very logical and orderly mind.
Richard Ford
I want saner gun laws. I think all these automatic weapons should be banned, big clips and handguns should be banned. As far as I'm concerned, shotguns and hunting weapons are all that we should allow in America.
Richard Ford
For a time after my divorce everything began to seem profoundly ironic to me. I found myself thinking of other peoples' worries as sources of amusement and private derision which I thought about at night to make myself feel better.
Richard Ford
And I think that in myself (and perhaps evident in what I write) fear of loss and the corresponding instinct to protect myself against loss are potent forces.
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
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
I'm kind of a distractible guy.
Richard Ford
The art of living your life has a lot to do with getting over loss. The less the past haunts you, the better.
Richard Ford
Very early you come to the realization that nothing will ever take you away from yourself.
Richard Ford
Only sometimes you can't feel anything about a subject without hypothesizing its extinction.
Richard Ford
Love isn’t a thing, after all, but an endless series of single acts.
Richard Ford
I started reading literature at 17 or 18, and I felt this extra beat to life.
Richard Ford
