How frightening, that one person could mean so much, so many things.

In The Touch, the love scenes are the same as they were in The Thorn Birds or anything else Ive ever written. I find a way of saying that either it was heaven or hell but in a way that still leaves room for the reader to use their own imagination.

I escaped the torture of my childhood home by reading. To this day it is still one of my greatest pleasures.

Yet there's something ominous about turning sixty-five. Suddenly old age is not a phenomenon which will occur; it has occurred.

And gradually his memory slipped a little, as memories do, even those with so much love attached to them; as if there is an unconscious healing process within the mind which mends up in spite of our desperate determination never to forget.

I think explicit love scenes are a turn off unless it's the kind you read with one hand.

... the most insoluble problems are those which by their very nature can have no space within them for dreams.
