The struggle is what teaches you.
Sue Grafton
Image
School was a source of great suffering to me, but once I learned to read, I disappeared into books, where I was a happy visitor to all the worlds that sprang full-blown from the printed page.

Image
It's been my observation, after years in the [insurance] business, that a certain percent of the population simply can't resist the urge to cheat.
Sue Grafton
Image
Emotion doesn't travel in a straight line. Like water, our feelings trickle down through cracks and crevices, seeking out the little pockets of neediness and neglect, the hairline fractures in our character usually hidden from public view.
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)

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
Image
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.
Sue Grafton
Image
I've never known anyone yet who doesn't suffer a certain restlessness when autumn rolls around... We're all eight years old again and anything is possible.
Sue Grafton
Image
Who knows what part we play in other people's dreams?
Sue Grafton
Image
There are days when none of us can bear it, but the good comes around again. Happiness is seasonal, like anything else. Wait it out. There are people who love you. People who can help.

I attended the University of Louisville my freshman year, transferred to what was then Western Kentucky State Teachers College for my sophomore and junior years, and then graduated from the University of Louisville in the summer of 1961.

There is no sound so terrible as a man's sorrow for his own death.
Sue Grafton
Image
I started writing seriously when I was 18, wrote my first novel when I was 22, and I've never stopped writing since.
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.

People talk about dysfunctional families I've never seen any other kind.
