Here’s a terrific quote I recently read from a new favorite writer, Richard Osman. In the third book of The Thursday Murder Club series, The Bullet that Missed, Elizabeth makes this observation (p. 336): “Time to quit all this nonsense? Elizabeth laughs to herself. What is there in life other than nonsense?”
Two other wonderful quotes from Richard Osman’s The Thursday Murder Club:
“He’s all the things that can go wrong with men if you leave them to their own devices.” (Observed of the villain)
“People without a sense of humor will never forgive you for being funny.”
(This has certainly been my experience!)
A Dean Koontz novel in the making . . . (Photo shot outside abandoned restaurant, Burt’s, in Plymouth, MA. Baby was OK and playing with its family on the beach below, but what a heart stopper going past!)
Me thinks yon wee doggy be sniffing his master’s ballingbrooks!
“Just call me Easy Rider, babe. I totally got this.”
“The hills are alive with the sound of music!” (Poor Julie. But she’d probably laugh about it too.)
“So ya go past the big bush over there, turn right at the dead hunter, left at the abandoned Jeep, mind the big wombat burrow, and whatever ya do, don’t piss that bugger off, then straight ahead past the baby-sitting dingo (no worries, mate, he already ate), then it’s just a few more meters to the pub. Oh, and watch out for the barman. He’s not fond of tourists of the British persuasion. G’day!”
Obviously, a sign erected by an author who no longer suffers from verborrhea.
Everybody’s downsizing!
