“Really, can anyone drink several martinis at lunch?”
“Pain in this life is not avoidable, but the pain we create avoiding pain is avoidable.”
“Why do I write historical fiction? Johnny Tremain, The Witch of Blackbird Pond, Island of the Blue Dolphins-that's why. I'll never forget how it felt to read those books. I want to write books with the same power to transport readers into another time and place.”
“It is difficult to be patient but to waste the rewards of patience is worse.”
“I had those kind of parents where I watched all of these very sophisticated movies: 'Five Easy Pieces', 'One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest.'”
