Karin Slaughter Quotes

I set the goal of getting a book contract by age thirty Picture Quote #1

Usually, guys, when something bad happens, they punish someone else Picture Quote #1

I’m not somebody who believes in evil Picture Quote #1

Reading develops cognitive skills. It trains our minds to think critically and to question what you are told. This is why dictators censor or ban books. It’s why it was illegal to teach slaves to read. It’s why girls in developing countries have acid thrown in their faces when they walk to school Picture Quote #1

It’s hard because people often don’t recognise shyness; they think it’s just someone being rude. I have had to work to overcome that, especially if I’m meeting my readers at author events, because I don’t want them to think I’m snooty or rude Picture Quote #1

My typical morning involves some time on the treadmill, but obviously I skip that a lot. Mostly, I wake up, check my email, then get to work on the various interviews and questions and phone calls that come with being an author Picture Quote #1

Books give us insight into other people, other cultures. They make us laugh. They make us think. If they are really good, they make us believe that we are better for having read them. You don’t read a book - you experience it. Every story opens up a new world Picture Quote #1

I read about violent things. I think what I get out of that is entertainment by learning about different things, and reading the genre and getting an understanding of motivations. But at the end of the day, it’s still a book, and I can walk away Picture Quote #1

I’m really boring. I get up early. I go to bed early. I don’t smoke or drink. I mean, I’ll eat a cupcake. I’m just not a crazy, stay-out-all-night sort of person. I love writing Picture Quote #1

I think that characters who are nice all the time and who you sympathize with can get really boring Picture Quote #1

I love puns. I’ve been known to turn the car around just to take advantage of a good pun situation. It really is the highest form of humor Picture Quote #1

Prior to the Civil War, most libraries were either privately owned or housed in universities or churches Picture Quote #1

I think being a woman and writing frankly about violence has gotten me some attention, and as someone who wants people to read my books, I can’t complain about that attention, but it does puzzle me that this is something reviewers focus on Picture Quote #1

I never felt isolated; I just liked being alone. I think that some people are good at being alone, and some people aren’t, and as a child, I really liked it Picture Quote #1

Pushing the boundaries of polite society does not just fall under the purview of crime fiction authors Picture Quote #1

I’m sold as a literary writer in Holland; I’m sold as crime fiction in England. I think of it as just literature Picture Quote #1

I think crime fiction is a great way to talk about social issues, whether ‘To Kill A Mockingbird’ or ‘The Lovely Bones;’ violence is a way to open up that information you want to get out to the reader Picture Quote #1

I think a lot of people are curious about what makes people do what they do, and I guess my curiosity isn’t hidden in any way Picture Quote #1

I busted my chin open trying to be Evel Knievel on my bike. When it happened, you could see straight through to the bone, I thought my dad was going to pass out. It left a scar that I still have now Picture Quote #1

I think that people do things for a reason - that we have mental illness, that we have genetic wiring that can get triggered by certain environmental factors Picture Quote #1

I taped the autopsy photos from Marilyn Monroe’s death to my lunch box in fifth grade, and I would write stories in which someone inevitably died Picture Quote #1

When you read a book, you are letting another person distract your thoughts and work your emotions. If they are adept, there’s nothing better than turning off and getting lost Picture Quote #1

The most enduring stories in literature generally have some kind of crime at their center, whether it’s the bloody butchery of ‘Hamlet,’ the lecherous misanthropes of Dickens or the lone gunman from ‘The Great Gatsby.’ Picture Quote #1

If you wear them outside, they stop being pyjamas. I wear mine to the mail box, which is right in front of my house - that’s my limit. Anything else is wrong Picture Quote #1

People forget that writers start off being readers. We all love it when we find a terrific read, and we want to let people know about it Picture Quote #1

I didn’t want to spend the next thirty years writing about bad things happening in the same small town - not least of all because people would begin to wonder why anyone still lives there! Picture Quote #1

My dad believed in scaring us as we were growing up. Scaring the boys who wanted to date us more Picture Quote #1

Alafair Burke understands the criminal mind. Long Gone is both an education and an entertainment of the first order. This is a very clever and very smart novel by a very clever and smart writer. The dialogue crackles, the plot is intriguing, and the pacing is perfect Picture Quote #1

Meg Gardiner is one of my favorite authors. She always delivers a terrific read. Phantom Instinct should go to the top of your ‘to-be-read’ pile Picture Quote #1

A lot of novels use crime as a stepping stone to talk about greater issues. So I just think of myself as a writer Picture Quote #1
