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

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

That's the purpose of old age... To give us a breathing space before we die, in which to see why we did what we did.

We're working-class people, which means we don't get rich or have maids. Be content with what you are and what you have.

It's no fun to be a bluestocking in a family of jockstraps.

There is no doubt that it is more difficult to read and more difficult to write but I still manage.

My books and other works are my legacy, and it's a great comfort to know that mine is a legacy of pleasure for other people.
