According to Queeney Quotes

“In every life there are pauses and interruptions... points of time where one course of action ends and another begins; and by vicissitude of fortune, or alteration of employment, by change of place or loss of friendship, we are forced to say of something, this is the last.”
― Beryl Bainbridge, According to Queeney

“Suffering, which fell to one’s lot in the course of nature, by chance or by fate, did not, ceteris paribus, seem so painful when imposed by the arbitrary will of strangers; it was the wounds inflicted by those closest to one that drew blood.”
― Beryl Bainbridge, According to Queeney
