Additional quotes by Robertson Davies

What school performance of anything is ever less than a triumph?

A happy childhood has spoiled many a promising life.

The brigand's life is a very fine life
For men of generous mind;
We rob the rich to help the poor
And succour oppressed mankind.
The rich, dear souls, are close around
And it's easy work to skelp 'em;
But the poor — damn their eyes — can never be found
When we're in the mood to help them.

He came of a generation to which any girl, before she is married, is a kind of unexploded bomb. - Robertson Davies
