When a series is doing well, it’s very tempting to keep writing it, even when the creative well is drying up. It’s tempting because that’s where the money is.

The first draft of everything, I write longhand. One of the nice things about that is that it makes you keep going.

The fact that slang is apt and forceful makes its use irresistibly tempting.

I don’t want to be a silly temptress. I cannot see any sense in getting dressed up and doing nothing but tempting men in pictures Picture Quote #1

In Shakespeare’s world, characters cannot trust their senses. Is the ghost in Hamlet true and truthful, or is it a demon, tempting young Hamlet into murderous sin? Is Juliet dead or merely sleeping?

I found that life intruding on writing was, in fact, life. And that, tempting as it may be for a writer who is a parent, one must not think of life as an intrusion. At the end of the day, writing has very little to do with writing, and much to do with life. And life, by definition, is not an intrusion Picture Quote #1

Like the battleships of old, omnibus programs present too tempting a target, too easily destroyed by a single attack, to make it through a fight... It is through incremental change after change, step after step, that a statesman of today can vindicate a bold vision Picture Quote #1

Education is about wisdom and the knowledge of how to love and survive Picture Quote #1

Death accompanies us at every step and enables us to use those moments when life smiles at us to feel more deeply the sweetness of life. The more certain the end, the more tempting the minute Picture Quote #1

Memories, all those little experiences make up the fabric of our lives and on balance, I wouldn’t want to erase any of them, tempting though it may be Picture Quote #1
