"I recognized my work for what it was--as unimportant a drug as cigarettes to get one through the weeks and years. If we are extinguished by death, as I still try to believe, what point is there in leaving some books behind any more than bottles, clothes, or cheap jewellry?"

"The moment comes when a character does or says something you hadn't thought about. At that moment he's alive and you leave it to him."
Thought
"Thrillers are like life, more like life than you are."
Life
"People talk about the courage of condemned men walking to the place of execution: sometimes it needs as much courage to walk with any kind of bearing towards another person's habitual misery."

Empathy
"Life would go out in a 'fraction of a second' (that was the phrase), but all night he had been realizing that time depends on clocks and the passage of light. There were no clocks and the light wouldn't change. Nobody really knew how long a second of pain could be. It might last a whole purgatory--or for ever."
Philosophy
"The influence of early books is profound. So much of the future lies on the shelves. Early reading has more influence than any religious teaching."
