John Grisham Quotes

The worst letters come from retired high school English teachers. They will literally take a book and pick it to pieces and send me 14 pages of notes Picture Quote #1

Jesus preached more and taught more about helping the poor and the sick and the hungry than he did about heaven and hell. Shouldn't that tell us something? Picture Quote #1

It's a game. We tax lawyers teach the rich how to play it so they can stay rich - and the IRS keeps changing the rules so we can keep getting rich teaching them Picture Quote #1

The first thing my family did when we moved was join the local church. The second was to go to the library and get library cards Picture Quote #1

I was a lawyer for 10 years - a short time, but it molded me into who I am Picture Quote #1

More than 100 people have been sent to death row who were later exonerated because they weren’t guilty or fairly tried. Most criminal defendants do not get adequate representation because there are not enough public defenders to represent them. There is a lot that is wrong Picture Quote #1

The company later went broke, and of course all blame was directed at the lawyers. Not once did I hear any talk that maybe a trace of mismanagement could in any way have contributed to the bankruptcy Picture Quote #1

All students enter law school with a certain amount of idealism and desire to serve the public, but after three years of brutal competition we care for nothing but the right job with the right firm where we can make partner in seven years and earn big bucks Picture Quote #1

I was on the verge of tears, so I turned and ran past the trailer and along the field road until I was safely out of their sight. Then I ducked into the cotton and waited for friendly voices. I sat on the hot ground, surrounded by stalks four feet tall, and I cried, something I really hated to do Picture Quote #1

It’s amazing how lies grow. You start with a small one that seems easy to cover, then you get boxed in and tell another one. Then another. People believe you at first, then they act upon your lies, and you catch yourself wishing you’d simply told the truth Picture Quote #1

I don’t start a novel until I have lived with the story for awhile to the point of actually writing an outline and after a number of books I’ve learned that the more time I spend on the outline the easier the book is to write. And if I cheat on the outline I get in trouble with the book Picture Quote #1

An outline is crucial. It saves so much time. When you write suspense, you have to know where you’re going because you have to drop little hints along the way. With the outline, I always know where the story is going. So before I ever write, I prepare an outline of 40 or 50 pages Picture Quote #1

We learned after the first semester in law school that it’s best never to discuss exams. If notes are compared afterwards, you become painfully aware of things you missed Picture Quote #1

It’s hard to read good fiction when I am writing, because if it is really good I catch myself sort of inadvertently imitating a great writer Picture Quote #1

Most criminal defendants do not get adequate representation because there are not enough public defenders to represent them. There is a lot that is wrong Picture Quote #1

Twenty years on, the books are still fun to write and I’ve still got lots of stories I want to tell, mainly about social injustice and people chewed up by the system Picture Quote #1

We have the crime of the century every six months. So for people like me who enjoy, you know, taking these stories and writing about them, the material is endless Picture Quote #1
