Last Ditch Quotes

“Pat and I had never gotten along well. My mother used to claim it was because Pat had never married and wasn’t accustomed to dealing with children, but, in my heart, I’d always known better. It was more than that. On some fundamental level, we saw the world in completely different terms. And unable to identify the source of the friction, we’d allowed it to slop over into all our dealings, creating an air of discord which, for the last thirty years, had drifted over the field of our linked lives like cannon smoke.”
― G.M. Ford, Last Ditch
