The critical lessons in life hold sway whether you like it or not.
Sue Grafton
Image
In my opinion, there's no condition in life that can't be ameliorated by a dose of junk food.
Sue Grafton
Image
Grade school was perilous. ... I can see how I must have worried them. I was the kind of kid who, for no apparent reason, wept piteously or threw up on myself. On an especially scary day, I sometimes did both.

You never know which people will affect your life.
Sue Grafton
Image
You write one book and you're ready for fame and fortune. I don't know that people are spending the time and attention on learning how to write-which takes years. Everybody sees the success stories.
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
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
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
You can't make anyone love you and you can't stop anyone from dying.
Sue Grafton
Image
The character of Rosie is based on a woman who used to live in the same apartment building I lived in many years ago. She's taken on a life of her own, of course.
Sue Grafton
Image
People talk about dysfunctional families I've never seen any other kind.
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)

What could smell better than supper being cooked by someone else?
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
Give yourself time to get better.

Ghosts don't haunt us. That's not how it works. They're present among us because we won't let go of them.
