More quotes by 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
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
What could smell better than supper being cooked by someone else?
Sue Grafton

Sue Grafton

Sue Grafton
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.
Sue Grafton
You never know which people will affect your life.
Sue Grafton
Insecure people have a special sensitivity for anything that finally confirms their own low opinion of themselves.
Sue Grafton
I was an English major in college with minors in Fine Arts and Humanities.
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
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)
