Image
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
grief is an illness I can't recover from.
Sue Grafton
Image
Sometimes I wonder what the difference is between being cautious and being dead.
Sue Grafton
Image
Happiness is seasonal, like anything else
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.
Sue Grafton
Image
Insecure people have a special sensitivity for anything that finally confirms their own low opinion of themselves.
Sue Grafton
Image
My primary lesson, however, was that I'm a solo writer, happiest when I'm making all the executive decisions. I've always been willing to rise or fall on my own merits.
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.

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.

Of the first seven novels I wrote, numbers four and five were published. Numbers one, two, three, six, and seven, have never seen the light of day... and rightly so.
Sue Grafton
Image
Life was reduced to its four basic elements: air, food, drink, and a good friend.
Sue Grafton
Image
God save us from the people who want to do what's best for us.

If you're unhappy, change something.
Sue Grafton
Image
After my years in Hollywood, I got tired of apologizing for work that really wasn't mine to begin with.
Sue Grafton
Image
I caution writers all the time to slow down and pay more attention to the work in front of them than to the end result. I don't think you write one book and get anywhere. I think you write five books and then maybe you are finally on the right path.
Sue Grafton
Image
Pretending to be 'normal' is a lot harder than you think.
Sue Grafton
Image
Pay minimum wage, you get minimum work. Nobody seems to get that.
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.

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)
