Ken Follett
Trusting someone was like holding a little water in your cupped hands - it was so easy to spill the water, and you could never get it back.
Ken Follett
I use a professional researcher in New York who does all the legwork, all that stuff which would take me days and weeks of calling, waiting for people to call back.
Ken Follett
I imagined it. I wrote it. But I guess I never thought I'd see it.
Ken Follett
The boundary between philosophy and fiction is not as clear cut as you may think and the two definitely interact.
Ken Follett

Ken Follett
