I don’t write a quick draft and then revise; instead, I work slowly page by page, revising and polishing Picture Quote #1

I receive about 10,000 letters a year from readers, and in the first year after a book is published, perhaps 5,000 letters will deal specifically with that piece of work Picture Quote #1

I never discuss a novel while I’m writing it, for fear that talking about it will diminish my desire to write it Picture Quote #1

In my personal life, I’m a comic novel. But then, so are we all, because we’re human beings Picture Quote #1

If I drive myself to the brink of my ability, then I don’t get stale or bored Picture Quote #1

Readers will stay with an author, no matter what the variations in style and genre, as long as they get that sense of story, of character, of empathetic involvement Picture Quote #1

The only reason I would write a sequel is if I were struck by an idea that I felt to be equal to the original. Too many sequels diminish the original Picture Quote #1

Writing a novel is like making love, but it’s also like having a tooth pulled. Pleasure and pain. Sometimes it’s like making love while having a tooth pulled Picture Quote #1

We are coming out of a century that was taught that one way of looking at the world, that one form of behavior, is as valid as another. The idea of true evil has been blown away Picture Quote #1

Acting is a marvelous profession... If you can spend enough time playing other people, you don’t have to think too much about your own character and motivations Picture Quote #1

We are not, however, a species that can choose the baggage with which we must travel. In spite of our best intentions, we always find that we have brought along a suitcase or two of darkness and despair Picture Quote #1

There’s evil in the world, all right. Being aware of it makes you a realist, not a paranoid Picture Quote #1

Houses are not haunted. We are haunted, and regardless of the architecture with which we surround ourselves, our ghosts stay with us until we ourselves are ghosts Picture Quote #1

Ignorance isn’t bliss, but sometimes ignorance makes it possible for us to sleep at night Picture Quote #1

We are buried when we’re born. The world is a place of graves occupied and graves potential. Life is what happens while we wait for our appointment with the mortician Picture Quote #1

When a liar became too skilled at deception, he could lose the ability to discern truth, and could himself be more easily deceived Picture Quote #1

If your work is deathwork, one weapon is not enough, just as a plumber would not answer an urgent service call with a single wrench Picture Quote #1

The true nature of the world was weirder than any bizarre fabric that anyone might weave from the warp and weft of imagination’s loom Picture Quote #1

Of all the things we can feel with our minds and bodies, severe pain is the purest, for it drives everything else from our awareness and focuses us as perfectly as we can ever be focused Picture Quote #1

Despair is good. Despair can be the nadir of one life and the starting point of an ascent into another, better one Picture Quote #1
