Let an idea swim to the surface like a fish in a pool...let the mind drift to the vision.

Good manners are a sign of strength.

I hadn’t had a mother since I was two, and from then until seven I had believed God was someone who had run off with her and was living with her somewhere else... (God took your mother, dear, because he needed her more than you do) which had never endeared him to me

Crime to many is not crime bu...

Crime to many is not crime but simply a way of life. If laws are inconvenient, ignore them, they dont apply to you.

Dick Francis 27 quotes

Everyone journeys through cha...

Everyone journeys through character as well as through time. The person one becomes depends on the person one has been.

Dick Francis 27 quotes

How could people, I wondered ...

How could people, I wondered for the ten thousandth useless time, how could people who had loved so dearly come to such a wilderness; and yet the change in us was irreversible, and neither of us would even search for a way back. It was impossible. The fire was out. Only a few live coals lurked in the ashes, searing unexpectedly at the incautious touch.

I'd always found goodness mor...

I'd always found goodness more interesting then evil, though I was aware this wasn't the most general view. To my mind, it took more work and more courage to be good, an opinion continually reinforced by my own shortcomings.

Love's easy to learn. It's like taking a risk. You set your mind on it and refuse to be afraid, and in no time you feel terrifically exhilarated and all your inhibitions fly out of the window.

Logic doesn't stop you feelin...

Logic doesn't stop you feeling. You can behave logically and it can hurt like hell. Or it can comfort you. Or release you. Or all at the same time

THE KNOWN CHILD I wondered to...

THE KNOWN CHILD I wondered to what extent people remained the same as they'd been when very young; if one peeled back the layers of living one would come to the known child.

Physics is the science of all...

Physics is the science of all the tremendously powerful invisibilities - of magnetism, electricity, gravity, light, sound, cosmic rays. Physics is the science of the mysteries of the universe. How could anyone think it dull?

Look at everything upside down.Take absolutely nothing for granted.

Dick Francis 27 quotes

Most people think, when they'...

Most people think, when they're young, that they're going to the top of their chosen world, and that the climb up is only a formality. Without that faith, I suppose, they might never start. Somewhere on the way they lift their eyes to the summit and know they aren't going to reach it; and happiness then is looking down and enjoying the view they've got, not envying the one they haven't.

Writing a novel proved to be ...

Writing a novel proved to be the hardest, most self-analyzing task I had ever attempted, far worse than an autobiography: and its rewards were greater than I expected.

A jump jockey has to throw his heart over the fence - and then go over and catch it.

Dick Francis 27 quotes

Life has a way of kicking one...

Life has a way of kicking one along like a football, or so I've found. Fate had never dealt me personally a particularly easy time, but that was OK, that was normal. Most people, it seemed to me, took their turn to be football. Most survived. Some didn't.

Dick Francis 27 quotes

But people as a rule believe ...

But people as a rule believe only what they want to believe, and if you tell them anything else they'll call you a trouble-maker and get rid of you and never give you your job back, even if what you said is proved spot on right by time.

Dick Francis 27 quotes

I guessed life was like that....

I guessed life was like that. You gained and you lost, and if you saved anything from the ruins, even if only a shred of self-respect, it was enough to take you through the next bit.

People always kill Caesar. Don't trust anyone.

Crime to many is not crime but simply a way of life. If laws are inconvenient, ignore them, they don't apply to you.
