More quotes by Lee Child

Lee Child
It's a kind of zen question: if you write a book and no one reads it, is it really a book?
Lee Child
I think my books come out very visual, which is an obvious consequence.
Lee Child
Imagine the uproar if the Federal government tried to make everyone wear a radio transmitter around their neck so we can keep track of their movements. But people happily carry their cell phones in their purses and pockets.
Lee Child
I don't care about the little guy. I just hate the big guy. I hate big smug people who think they can get away with things.
Lee Child
Don't be sad that roses have thorns. Be glad that thorns have Roses. Today's the day I worried about yesterday and it didn't happen.
Lee Child

Lee Child
Some old guy once said that the meaning of life is that it ends.
Lee Child
I had a teacher once, grade school somewhere. Philippines, I think, because she always wore a big white hat. So it was somewhere hot. I was always twice the size of the other kids, and she used to say to me: count to ten before you get mad, Reacher. And I've counted way past ten on this one. Way past.
Lee Child
I'm not afraid of death. Death's afraid of me.
Lee Child
Slippery slope. I carry a spare shirt, pretty soon I'm carrying spare pants. Then I'd need a suitcase. Next thing I know, I've got a house and a car and a savings plan and I'm filling out all kinds of forms.
Lee Child
A calm environment is for after I finish work.
Lee Child
I have the thing worked out - the trick or the surprise or the pivotal fact. Then I just start somewhere and let the story work itself out.
Lee Child
I know I'm smarter than an armadillo
Lee Child
I have a kind of old-fashioned, artisan approach.
Lee Child
The most sustained feat of imagination in mystery fiction today.
Lee Child
The best fights are the ones you don't have, a wise man once said to me.
Lee Child
Don't get it right - get it WRITTEN!
Lee Child
Practically any Western has a homesteader in trouble, and a mysterious rider shows up off the range, solves the problem over two or three days, and then rides off into the sunset.
