More quotes by 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 just felt from personal observation that there is nothing more dislocated or alienated than a lifelong military person trying to cope in civilian life. It's like two completely separate planets.
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.

I had a teacher once, grade school somewhere. Philippines, I think, because she always wore a big white hat. So it was somewhere hot.

Lee Child
For men, as they get bogged down with responsibilities, commitments, bureaucracy, it is a fantasy just to think of shedding everything literally, walking away with nothing at all, and just hitting the road.
Lee Child
I wanted readers to be genuinely unsure as to whether she's telling the truth or lying. It meant making her partly sympathetic, and partly unsympathetic, which wasn't easy.
Lee Child
Don't get it right - get it WRITTEN!
Lee Child
I'm not afraid of death. Death's afraid of me.
Lee Child
My mother still calls me Jim and that is about it. Everyone else calls me Lee. My wife calls me whatever.
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
It's a kind of zen question: if you write a book and no one reads it, is it really a book?
Lee Child
Reacher said, So here's the thing Brett. Either you take your hand off my chest, or I'll take it off your wrist.
Lee Child
