Michael Cunningham Quotes
Peter's Mother Was Grand, In Her Way. She Managed To Complain Almost Ceaselessly Without Ever Seeming Trivial Or Kvetchy. She Was Regal Rather Than Crotchety, She Had Been Sent To Live In This World From A Better One, And She Saved Herself From Mere Mean-spiritedness By Offering Resignation In Place Of Bile - By Implying, Every Hour Of Her Life, That Although She Objected To Almost Everybody And Everythng She Did So Because She'd Presided Over Some Utopia, And So Knew From Experience How Much Better We All Could Do. She Wanted More Than Anything To Live Under A Benevolent Dictator Who Was Exactly Like Her Without Being Her - If She Actually Ruled She Would Relinquish Her Right To Object, And Without Her Right To Object Who And What Would She Be?
