Poise and indifference so often look the same.
Sue Grafton
Image
There is no sound so terrible as a man's sorrow for his own death.
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

Thinking is hard work, which is why you don't see many people doing it.
Sue Grafton
Image
Give yourself time to get better.
