More quotes by Sue Grafton
Poise and indifference so often look the same.
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
My notion of an elegant table is you don't leave the knife sticking out of the mayonnaise jar.
Sue Grafton
It's been my observation, after years in the [insurance] business, that a certain percent of the population simply can't resist the urge to cheat.
Sue Grafton
The struggle is what teaches you.
Sue Grafton

Sue Grafton

Sue Grafton
What could smell better than supper being cooked by someone else?
Sue Grafton
If high heels were so wonderful, men would still be wearing them.
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.
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
Pretending to be 'normal' is a lot harder than you think.
Sue Grafton
Sometimes I wonder what the difference is between being cautious and being dead.
Sue Grafton
If your mind isn't open, keep your mouth shut too.
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
There was an author who titled his books by days of the weeks and another one that used colors. Then there was Edward Gorey who wrote the book The Gashlycrumb Tinies, about the untimely death of 26 Victorian children, each representing a letter of the alphabet. I thought what a great way to link the titles.
Sue Grafton
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.
Sue Grafton
Who knows what part we play in other people's dreams?
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
You can't make anyone love you and you can't stop anyone from dying.
Sue Grafton
