Additional quotes by John Irving

It was not the cold that made you want to rush out as soon as you'd jumped in; it was the unmeasured depth - our fear of what was on the bottom, and how far below us the bottom was.

It is your responsibility to find fault with me, it is mine to hear you out. But don't expect me to change.

The more clearly one sees this world; the more one is obliged to pretend it does not exist.

It's because even a good man can't always be right, that we need ... rules. - John Irving
