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.

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

That's the way the system works. Sometimes you get the bear, sometimes the bear gets you.

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

I only get writer's block about once a day.

What could smell better than supper being cooked by someone else?

There is no sound so terrible as a man's sorrow for his own death.
Sue Grafton
Image
There's nothing quite as irksome as someone else's mess.

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