Shame was an emotion he had abandoned years earlier. Addicts know no shame. You disgrace yourself so many times you become immune to it.

Critics should find meaningful work.
John Grisham
I always do book signings with the same blue pen. That way, if I add a personalised message to a book I've already signed, it'll be in the same colour as my signature.
John Grisham
Very few writers understand the complex history and maddening social order of the Mississippi Delta. For Steve Yarbrough, though, it's home turf. He is wickedly observant, funny, cynical, evocative, and he possesses a gift that cannot be taught: he can tell a story.
John Grisham
I'm not in favor of the death penalty. But I'm in favor of locking these people away in maximum security units where they can never get out. They can never escape. They can never be paroled. Lock the bad ones away. But you gotta rethink everybody else.
John Grisham
I was a lawyer for 10 years - a short time, but it molded me into who I am.
John Grisham
How could homosexuals possibly srew up the sanctity of marriage any worse than heterosexuals?
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
I looked at her and tried to speak, but all I could think about was how shocked she'd be if I said what I was thinking.
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
We cuss them because we're not good enough for them. We hate them because they wouldn't look at us, couldn't be bothered to give us an interview. I guess there's a Trent & Brent in every city, in every field. I didn't make it and I don't belong, so I'll just go through life hating them.
John Grisham
She was pondering the option of law school, the great American baby-sitter for directionless postgrads.
John Grisham
Live your life the way you want. You'll figure it out.
John Grisham
Poverty is a great equalizer
John Grisham
You live your life today, Not tommorow, and certainly not yesterday.
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
I always try to tell a good story, one with a compelling plot that will keep the pages turning. That is my first and primary goal. Sometimes I can tackle an issue-homelessness, tobacco litigation, insurance fraud, the death penalty-and wrap a good story around it.
John Grisham
You need some coffee, don't you? Yes, I've only had a gallon.
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!
John Grisham
I was a lawyer for 10 years - a short time, but it molded me into who I am. My clients were little people fighting big corporations, so it was a natural thing to not only represent the little guy but also to pull for him - it's the American way.
John Grisham
When witnesses concoct lies, they often miss the obvious.
