Quotes from Michael R. French

Adversity does more than build character. It changes the way we see the world.

We are not strangers. It's a lack of trust that keeps us separated.

Faith is the ability to endure.

Life brings only so much luck which when used up leaves you without a safety net.

Racism and inequality are likened to a fungus which grows in dark places and is all the more poisonous because one cannot see it.

What's real and what's not? People we meet in books--Holden Caulfield, Captain Ahab, Huckleberry Finn, Harry Potter, Bilbo and Gandalf and Frodo-- can become more memorable, and more important to us than people with birth certificates and drivers' licenses. Characters spawned in an author's imagination find a home inside us. They make our lives richer. They become our best friends. They never disappoint. And they never die.
