More quotes by Robert Harris
To be brave, by definition, one has first to be afraid.
Robert Harris
The true currency of life is time, not money, and we've all got a limited stock of that.
Robert Harris
Power brings a man many luxuries, but a clean pair of hands is seldom among them.
Robert Harris
First comes an idea. Then, characters begin to evolve out of the landscape of that idea. And then, finally, characters dominate: plot is simply a function of what these people might do or be. Everything has to flow from their personalities otherwise it will not be emotionally engaging, or plausible.
Robert Harris
You can't ever win the war on crime, or the war on terror. You can't repeal human nature.
Robert Harris
I've always just wanted to earn my living by writing. The best thing is to go into my study in the morning and stay there and put words together.
Robert Harris
It is perseverance, and not genius that takes a man to the top. Rome is full of unrecognized geniuses. Only perseverance enables you to move forward in the world.
Robert Harris
Working 14 hours a day until you're 55 and missing your kids growing up is not what I would consider a recipe for happiness.
Robert Harris
History is what we bring to it, not just the events themselves, but how we interpret those events.
Robert Harris

Robert Harris
People perish. Books are immortal.
Robert Harris
Everyone thinks politics will just go on the way it is. I don't agree.
Robert Harris
Politics? Boring? Politics is history on the wing! What other sphere of human activity calls forth all that is most noble in men's souls, and all that is most base? Or has such excitement? Or more vividly exposes our strengths and weaknesses? Boring? You might as well say that life itself is boring!
Robert Harris
Of all human activities, writing is the one for which it is easiest to find excuses not to begin – the desk’s too big, the desk’s too small, there’s too much noise, there’s too much quiet, it’s too hot, too cold, too early, too late. I had learned over the years to ignore them all, and simply to start.
Robert Harris
You can always spot a fool, for he is a man who will tell you he knows who is going to win an election.
Robert Harris
Storytelling has a narcotic power.
Robert Harris
Humans have changed little over time. We think we've invented the modern world but they were making better speeches 2,000 years ago and grappling with issues of empire and terrorism.
