I didn't dare think of the future the past was still happening.
John Grisham
In my case, once you sell a lot of books and you are labeled a bestselling author, the serious critics are never gonna say anything nice about you.
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
Ten years from now I plan to be sitting here, looking out over my land. I hope I'll be writing books, but if not, I'll be on my pond fishing with my kids. I feel like the luckiest guy I know.

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
A riveting, exciting and thoroughly compelling tale of adventure.
John Grisham
If you're gonna be stupid you gotta be tough.
John Grisham
Jesus preached more and taught more about helping the poor and the sick and the hungry than he did about heaven and hell. Shouldn't that tell us something?
John Grisham
I'm alone and outgunned, scared and inexperienced, but I'm right.
John Grisham
I've written 17 novels, and I've found out that fiction can't keep up with real life.
John Grisham
The coffee arrives, and we backslide into what lawyers do best---talking about other lawyers.
John Grisham
Critics should find meaningful work.
John Grisham
I don't usually eat breakfast. I prefer to be asleep during the hours that it is served.
John Grisham
And they drank heavily, partied with great enthusiasm, and relished the drug culture they moved in and out and slept around, and this was okay because they defined their own morality. They were fighting for the Mexicans and the redwoods, dammit! They had to be good people!
