More quotes by Sue Grafton
That's the way the system works. Sometimes you get the bear, sometimes the bear gets you.
Sue Grafton
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
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
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
I focus on the writing and let the rest of the process take care of itself. I've learned to trust my own instincts and I've also learned to take risks.
Sue Grafton
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
After my years in Hollywood, I got tired of apologizing for work that really wasn't mine to begin with.
Sue Grafton
I was an English major in college with minors in Fine Arts and Humanities.
Sue Grafton
God save us from the people who want to do what's best for us.
Sue Grafton
Grieving is like being ill. You think the entire world revolves around you and it doesn't.
Sue Grafton
Insecure people have a special sensitivity for anything that finally confirms their own low opinion of themselves.
Sue Grafton
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.
Sue Grafton
In my opinion, there's no condition in life that can't be ameliorated by a dose of junk food.
Sue Grafton
Ghosts don't haunt us. That's not how it works. They're present among us because we won't let go of them. I don't believe in ghosts, I said, faintly. Some people can't see the color red. That doesn't mean it isn't there, she replied.
Sue Grafton
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.
Sue Grafton
Poise and indifference so often look the same.
Sue Grafton
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
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
Life was reduced to its four basic elements: air, food, drink, and a good friend.
Sue Grafton
There's nothing quite as irksome as someone else's mess.
Sue Grafton
