More quotes by Nelson DeMille
We're all pilgrims on the same journey but some pilgrims have better road maps.
Nelson DeMille
Everyone looked pensive, which is good cover-up for clueless.
Nelson DeMille
Writing doesn't leave much time for hobbies, unless you consider that I began writing as a hobby and have made the hobby into a profession.
Nelson DeMille
Most of my books are about contemporary subjects, and the world changes so fast that I'm lucky when events haven't overtaken the book I'm writing at the moment.
Nelson DeMille
Absolutely breathtaking, nail-biting, and edge-of-your-seat. Michael Koryta is a master at maintaining suspense and a hell of a good writer. THOSE WHO WISH ME DEAD is one of the best chase-and-escape novels you’ll read this year-or any other year. The pace never lets up.
Nelson DeMille
It's much different today than it was during the Cold War. The CIA is not the subject of many books anymore. But that might change, because of international terrorism and Red China.
Nelson DeMille
I had a very strong desire to be successful at something.
Nelson DeMille

Nelson DeMille

Nelson DeMille

Nelson DeMille
The meaning of life has not much to do with good and evil, right and wrong, duty, honor, country, or any of that. It has to do with cutting the right deal.
Nelson DeMille
…made me promise to cut down on the drinking and swearing, which I have. Unfortunately, this has left me dim-witted and nearly speechless.
Nelson DeMille
I try to end every chapter with an air of suspense. I try to leave the reader wanting to turn the page.
Nelson DeMille
I've always been fascinated by the Gold Coast. The homes themselves are spectacular, unlike anything you'll see other than in Newport, Bar Harbor or Palm Beach. It's a very special area that, because of local demographics, is not going to survive much longer.
Nelson DeMille
I don't like mysteries, which is why I want to solve them. It bothers me that there are things I don't know.
Nelson DeMille
I thought to myself, what is everyone's worst fear? Nuclear terrorism in America.
Nelson DeMille
It's really scary when you have a moment of temporary sanity.
Nelson DeMille
There are Mafia families that have bought magnificent houses on the North Shore, although not yet the great estates because they don't want that kind of high profile.
Nelson DeMille
Ernest Hemingway was the author I drew inspiration from.
Nelson DeMille
If everyone howled at every injustice, every act of barbarism, every act of unkindness, then we would be taking the first step towards a real humanity.
Nelson DeMille
