Quotes by R.C. Sherriff (?)

“The golden hours of life leave no sharp outlines to which the memory can cling: no spoken words remain - nor even little gestures and thoughts; only a deep gratitude that lingers on impervious to time.”
― R.C. Sherriff, The Fortnight in September

“You must always think of it like that if you can. Think of it all as - as romantic. It helps.”
― R.C. Sherriff, Journey's End

“The attraction of the story was that I didn’t lay out any plan and never knew what was going to happen in the next chapter until I came to it. It kept me in sympathy with the characters, because when they went to bed each night they knew no more about what was going to happen next day than I did when I turned out the light on my desk and went to bed myself.”
― R.C. Sherriff, The Fortnight in September
