If high heels were so wonderful, men would still be wearing them.
Sue Grafton
Image
Lying contains the same hostile elements as a practical joke in that the 'victim' ends up looking foolish in his own eyes and laughable in everyone else's.
Sue Grafton
Image
That's the way the system works. Sometimes you get the bear, sometimes the bear gets you.
Sue Grafton
Image
All of us are subjected to somebody else's power at some point. So once in a while you kiss ass. So what? Either you make your peace with that early, or you end up living your life as a crank and a misfit.

You can't make anyone love you and you can't stop anyone from dying.
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)

Age plays cruel tricks on the human face all our repressed feelings become visible on the surface, where they harden like a mask.
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
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.
