More quotes by Louise Penny
I've seen enough successful writers who no longer seem to care when they are recognized with an award, and I think that's just tragic.
Louise Penny
It's a shame that creativity and sloth look exactly the same.
Louise Penny
Fear lives in the head. And courage lives in the heart. The job is to get from one to the other.

How much more courage it took to be kind than to be cruel.

Where there is love there is courage, where there is courage there is peace, where there is peace there is God. And when you have God, you have everything.

Gamache knew it was impossible to split language from culture. That without one the other withered. To love the language was to respect the culture.
Louise Penny
Or - perhaps - I should just worry about my own behavior and let others be who they are.
Louise Penny
The night is a strawberry.
Louise Penny
A journalist also needs to be disciplined, and so do I. I am, essentially, lazy. Without discipline I'd be just a mass of gummy bears on the sofa instead of on book tour with my eighth novel.
Louise Penny
Things are strongest where they're broken.
Louise Penny
Now here's a good one: you're lying on your deathbed. You have one hour to live. Who is it, exactly, you have needed all these years to forgive?
Louise Penny
Better to accept the wretched truth than struggle, twisting to make a wish a reality.
Louise Penny
I turned down all the requests for the rights to the books, for years, mostly because they wanted the rights to the characters, and to turn it into a TV series. This would have allowed them to do anything they wanted with the characters, and that just wasn't an option for me.
