People perish. Books are immortal.
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
I was a political journalist I came to writing novels through an interest in politics and power.

Robert Harris
For me, as I suspect for most people, there comes a point where you have enough. If you've got £20 million, why keep going until you've got £100 million or £1,000 million? Does anyone need another vast yacht or private jet or a house full of gold?
Robert Harris
Everyone thinks politics will just go on the way it is. I don't agree.
Robert Harris
You can't ever win the war on crime, or the war on terror. You can't repeal human nature.
Robert Harris
Their souls were contagious. ... Bloodsuckers, spiders and vampires: that was what Lenin called them.
Robert Harris
History is what we bring to it, not just the events themselves, but how we interpret those events.
Robert Harris
Don't try to write too much in a single session. One thousand words a day is quite enough. Stop after about four or five hours.
Robert Harris
The true currency of life is time, not money, and we've all got a limited stock of that.
