P. D. JamesDon't just plan to write - write. It is only by writing, not dreaming about it, that we develop our own style.
P. D. JamesAll these problems [deciding cases] are easier for people who believe in God. Those of us who don't or can't have to do the best we can. That's what the law is, the best we can do. Human justice is imperfect, but it's the only justice we have.
P. D. James
