Robertson Davies Quotes

I Wanted To Get Away,' Said She; 'everybody Wants To Plague And Worry Me About Nothing. They'll Be All Right Tomorrow. What's Worrying Them?'
'They Are Sacrificing To Our Canadian God,' Said Solly. 'We All Believe That If We Fret And Abuse Ourselves Sufficiently, Providence Will Take Pity And Smile Upon Anything We Attempt. A Light Heart, Or A Consciousness Of Desert, Attracts Ill Luck. You Have Been Away From Your Native Land Too Long. You Have Forgotten Our Folkways. Listen To That Gang Over There; They Are Scanning The Heavens And Hoping Aloud That It Won't Rain Tomorrow. That Is To Placate The Mean Old Man In The Sky, And Persuade Him To Be Kind To Us.
