James Runcie Quotes
All He Knew Was That Sometimes A Man Had To Be Grateful For Normality, That A Story Could End Less Dramatically, And Not Half As Badly As It Might Have Done; That There Was Merit In An Averted Crisis, And That In Finding His Nephew Sidney Had, At Last, Done Something Quietly Responsible, Without Fuss Or Fanfare. Perhaps The Rest Of His Life Should Be Like This? He Thought. It Would Involve A Concentration On Things Close To The Heart; A Dedicated Care Of Friends And Family; A Quieter Existence, One That Depended On Listening Harder And Loving Better; Never Resting In Complacency; Acknowledging Faults, Doubts And Insecurities; The Balance Between Solitude And Company, The Wish To Escape And The Need To Come Home: A Loving Attention.
