More quotes by John Grisham
I was on the verge of tears, so I turned and ran past the trailer and along the field road until I was safely out of their sight. Then I ducked into the cotton and waited for friendly voices. I sat on the hot ground, surrounded by stalks four feet tall, and I cried, something I really hated to do.
John Grisham
My mum was never too keen on TV, so we kids all went to the library and got books out. Right from the start, I loved the works of Mark Twain. Every time I read about Tom Sawyer, I'd go out and do something low-level naughty, just like him.
John Grisham
I didn't dare think of the future the past was still happening.
John Grisham
Shame was an emotion he had abandoned years earlier. Addicts know no shame. You disgrace yourself so many times you become immune to it.
John Grisham
If you're gonna be stupid you gotta be tough.
John Grisham
One thing that drives me nuts... well, let me ask you, when writers write do they not use quotation marks anymore?
John Grisham
I seriously doubt I would ever have written the first story had I not been a lawyer. I never dreamed of being a writer. I wrote only after witnessing a trial.
John Grisham
I was a lawyer for 10 years - a short time, but it molded me into who I am.
John Grisham
I don't want to force my politics on my readers.
John Grisham
I'm alone and outgunned, scared and inexperienced, but I'm right.
John Grisham
Because I was single, there was a chance I was a homosexual. Because I went to Syracuse, wherever that was, then I was probably a Communist. Or worse, a Liberal. Because I was from Memphis, I was a subversive intent on embarrassing Ford County.
John Grisham
How could homosexuals possibly srew up the sanctity of marriage any worse than heterosexuals?
John Grisham
I still enjoy the process of writing. If I ever feel like I am going through the motions because I can sell anything at this level, I hope that somebody, somewhere who I trust will tell me to take a break and stop because it's sounding old. But so far, I don't feel like I'm boring anyone.
John Grisham
You burn a man's pickup, and he's ready for war.
John Grisham
A riveting, exciting and thoroughly compelling tale of adventure.
John Grisham
Live your life the way you want. You'll figure it out.
John Grisham
I guess under the right circumstances, a man will do just about anything.
John Grisham
Nobody wants to read about the honest lawyer down the street who does real estate loans and wills. If you want to sell books, you have to write about the interesting lawyers - the guys who steal all the money and take off. That's the fun stuff.
John Grisham
The coffee arrives, and we backslide into what lawyers do best---talking about other lawyers.
John Grisham
It's a game. We tax lawyers teach the rich how to play it so they can stay rich-and the IRS keeps changing the rules so we can keep getting rich teaching them.
