Quotes by Louise Penny  (?)

“When someone stabs you it's not your fault that you feel pain.”
Louise Penny, A Fatal Grace

“The four sayings that lead to wisdom:
I was wrong
I'm sorry
I don't know
I need help”
Louise Penny

“There are four things that lead to wisdom. You ready for them?'
She nodded, wondering when the police work would begin.
"They are four sentences we learn to say, and mean." Gamache held up his hand as a fist and raised a finger with each point. "I don't know. I need help. I'm sorry. I was wrong'.”
Louise Penny, Still Life
