Lee Matthew Goldberg
“As I’ve learned from life, happiness sometimes only greets us in fits and starts. For tragedy often follows merriment. Without strife, we would not know the true meaning of gaiety. That’s what I like to tell myself to ease the pain.”
Lee Matthew Goldberg, The Ancestor

“Absently Ed’s hand strayed to the head of the dog beside him. “Gold fever,” he grinned. ‘We're due for another epidemic.” ‘The massive dog pushed Ed’s knee with his muzzle as if he, whose ancestors had drawn the sleds of more than one gold-maddened horde, understood the vainness of the quest.”
Hubert Evans, Derry’s Partner
