Quotes by Toni Kief  (?)
Quotes are added by the Goodreads community and are not verified by Goodreads. (Learn more)

“tossed them towards her donation box and the fell to the floor.”
Toni Kief, Mildred in Disguise with Diamonds

“When there is only one person who won’t stay home, the housework took minutes instead of hours.”
Toni Kief, Mildred in Disguise with Diamonds

“This day was the happiest Mildred had been since losing Dick. She no longer felt haunted.”
Toni Kief, Mildred in Disguise with Diamonds

“Out of the night that covers me,
Black as the Pit from pole to pole,
I thank whatever gods may be
For my unconquerable soul.

In the fell clutch of circumstance
I have not winced nor cried aloud.
Under the bludgeonings of chance
My head is bloody, but unbowed.

Beyond this place of wrath and tears
Looms but the Horror of the shade,
And yet the menace of the years
Finds, and shall find, me unafraid.

It matters not how strait the gate,
How charged with punishments the scroll,
I am the master of my fate:
I am the captain of my soul.”
William Ernest Henley, Invictus

“Great’ writers were so obviously supposed to be male, and not anyone’s aunt.”
Lucy Worsley, Jane Austen at Home
