About the author

Popular quotes

“I began to realize how simple life could be if one had a regular routine to follow with fixed hours and a fixed salary and very little original thinking to do. The life of a writer is absolute hell compared with the life of a businessman. The writer has to force himself to work. He has to make his own hours and if he doesn’t go to his desk at all there is nobody to scold him. If he is a writer of fiction he lives in a world of fear. Each new day demands new ideas and he can never be sure whether he is going to come up with them or not. Two hours of writing fiction leaves this particular writer absolutely drained. For those two hours he has been miles away, he has been somewhere else, in a different place with totally different people, and the effort of swimming back into normal surroundings is very great. It is almost a shock. The writer walks out of his workroom in a daze. He wants a drink. He needs it. It happens to be a fact that nearly every writer of fiction in the world drinks more whisky than is good for him. He does it to give himself faith, hope and courage. A person is a fool to become a writer. His only compensation is absolute freedom. He has no master except his own soul, and that, I am sure, is why he does it.”
― Roald Dahl, quote from Boy: Tales of Childhood

“an apple is an apple whoever bites it.”
― Jeffrey Archer, quote from As the Crow Flies

“Being in the infirmary when you'd gotten injured being awesome was totally different from being in the Infirmary for doing something dumb.”
― Holly Black, quote from The Iron Trial

“Fear not to follow with pious feet the corpse of Hafiz, for though he was drowned in the ocean of sin, he may find a place in paradise.”
― Hafez, quote from The Divan

“Mrs. Rondle gave us a pop quiz. So lame.”
― Kristin Hannah, quote from Night Road
