If your mind isn't open, keep your mouth shut too.

If you're unhappy, change something.

I hate nature. I really do. Nature is composed entirely of sticks, dirt, fall-down places, biting and stinging things, and savageries too numerous to list. And I'm not the only one who feels this way. Man has been building cities since the year oughty-ought, just to get away from this stuff.

There was an author who titled his books by days of the weeks and another one that used colors. Then there was Edward Gorey who wrote the book The Gashlycrumb Tinies, about the untimely death of 26 Victorian children, each representing a letter of the alphabet. I thought what a great way to link the titles.

My job as the writer is to fool you. Your job as the reader is to see if you can catch me at it.

Image
Pay minimum wage, you get minimum work. Nobody seems to get that.

grief is an illness I can't recover from.
Sue Grafton
Image
I write because it's all I know how to do. Writing is my anchor and my purpose. My life is informed by writing, whether the work is going well or I'm stuck in the hell of writer's block, which I'm happy to report only occurs about once a day.
Sue Grafton

Age plays cruel tricks on the human face all our repressed feelings become visible on the surface, where they harden like a mask.
Sue Grafton
Image
Personally, I'd rather grow old alone than in the company of anyone I've met so far. I don't experience myself as lonely, incomplete, or unfulfilled, but I don't talk about that much. It seems to piss people off--especially men. (Kinsey Millhone)

If high heels were so wonderful, men would still be wearing them.

You kill people you hate or you kill in rage or you kill to get even, but you don't kill someone you're indifferent to.
Sue Grafton
Image
A woman should never, never, never be financially dependent to anyone, especially a man, because the minute you were dependent, you could be abused.

That's the way the system works. Sometimes you get the bear, sometimes the bear gets you.
