More quotes by Sue Grafton
There is no sound so terrible as a man's sorrow for his own death.
Sue Grafton
Pay minimum wage, you get minimum work. Nobody seems to get that.
Sue Grafton
Who knows what part we play in other people's dreams?
Sue Grafton
Sometimes I claim I write because I put in an application at Sears and they've never called back.
Sue Grafton
That's the way the system works. Sometimes you get the bear, sometimes the bear gets you.
Sue Grafton
I've never known anyone yet who doesn't suffer a certain restlessness when autumn rolls around... We're all eight years old again and anything is possible.
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
People in California seem to age at a different rate than the rest of the country. Maybe it's the passion for diet and exercise, maybe the popularity of cosmetic surgery. Or maybe we're afflicted with such a horror of aging that we've halted the process psychically.
Sue Grafton
I started writing seriously when I was 18, wrote my first novel when I was 22, and I've never stopped writing since.
Sue Grafton
If you're unhappy, change something.
Sue Grafton
We all need to look into the dark side of our nature - that's where the energy is, the passion. People are afraid of that because it holds pieces of us we're busy denying.
Sue Grafton
In my opinion, there's no condition in life that can't be ameliorated by a dose of junk food.
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 spent the first twenty years of my writing career preparing for the mystery genre, which is my favorite literary form.
Sue Grafton
The struggle is what teaches you.
Sue Grafton
If high heels were so wonderful, men would still be wearing them.
Sue Grafton
I only get writer's block about once a day.
Sue Grafton
Pretending to be 'normal' is a lot harder than you think.
Sue Grafton
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
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.
