People talk about dysfunctional families I've never seen any other kind.
Sue Grafton
Image
If your mind isn't open, keep your mouth shut too.
Sue Grafton
Image
Pay minimum wage, you get minimum work. Nobody seems to get that.
Sue Grafton

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
There's really no such thing as an 'ex-cop' or a cop who's 'off-duty' or 'retired.' Once trained, once indoctrinated, a cop is always alert, assessing reality in terms of its potential for illegal acts.

Sue Grafton
Image
Sometimes I wonder what the difference is between being cautious and being dead.
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
Image
The Jungian therapist taught me the difference between the ego and the shadow. I realized I'd been so busy being a good girl that I'd completely detached from my shadow. It's something we all have, and it's where all the creative juices are.
Sue Grafton
Image
It's disconcerting to realize how little you have to say to someone who once occupied such a prominent place in your bed.
Sue Grafton
Image
You never know which people will affect your life.
Sue Grafton
Image
Writing isn't about the destination-writing is the journey that transforms the soul and gives meaning to all else.
Sue Grafton
Image
Give yourself time to get better.
Sue Grafton
Image
Ghosts don't haunt us. That's not how it works. They're present among us because we won't let go of them.
Sue Grafton
Image
Grieving is like being ill. You think the entire world revolves around you and it doesn't.
