Quotes from Dunnett
[edit | edit source]- Father Moriz said, ‘I want you to listen to me. A child with one parent, or no parent, is better off than one reared in a household of hate. Are you telling me that you and your wife will live in accord from now on?’ ¶ ‘I am telling you,’ Nicholas said, ‘that we are both very good at dissembling. The child, at least, will not suffer.’ (Vintage p. 96; Kindle loc. 2265-68)
