More quotes by Louise Penny
When someone stabs you it's not your fault that you feel pain.
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
In winter the very ground seemed to reach up and grab the elderly, yanking them to earth as though hungry for them.
Louise Penny
To be honest, the only thing I ever really wanted to be was a writer - since I read 'Charlotte's Web' as a child.
Louise Penny
Every decade of my life I attempted to write a novel. But I had nothing to say. I was far too self-absorbed, and now I realize I was writing for others, so that they'd applaud me, see my genius, tell me how wonderful I am, or be jealous of my success.
Louise Penny
Life is change. If you aren't growing and evolving, you're standing still, and the rest of the world is surging ahead.
Louise Penny

The four sayings that lead to wisdom: I was wrong I'm sorry I don't know I need help
Louise Penny
Winning doesn't mean my book is better than anyone else's. It means I'm very fortunate. And I should be very, very aware of that. And grateful.
Louise Penny
I went through a period in my life when I had no friends, when the phone never rang, when I thought I would die from loneliness. I know that the real blessing here isn't that I have a book published, but that I have so many people to thank.
Louise Penny
Or - perhaps - I should just worry about my own behavior and let others be who they are.
Louise Penny
It's a shame that creativity and sloth look exactly the same.
Louise Penny
Things are strongest where they're broken.
Louise Penny
No good ever comes from putting up walls. What people mistake for safety is in fact captivity. And few things thrive in captivity.
Louise Penny
Foolish people are never harmless. Stupidity accounts for as many crimes as anger and greed.
Louise Penny
What people mistook for safety was in fact captivity.
Louise Penny
Aid workers, when handing out food to starving people, quickly learn that the people fighting for it at the front are the people who need it least. It's the people sitting quietly at the back, too weak to fight, who need it the most. And so too with tragedy.
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
I'm just like this. I have no talent for choosing my battles. Life seems, strangely, like a battle to me. The whole thing.
