Nobody wants to read about the honest lawyer down the street who does real estate loans and wills. If you want to sell books, you have to write about the interesting lawyers - the guys who steal all the money and take off. That's the fun stuff. John Grisham
Dear Mrs. Black: On seven prior occasions this company has denied your claim in writing. We now deny it for the eighth and final time. You must be stupid, stupid stupid, stupid! John Grisham
I had never seen a woman's breasts before, and I doubted if any seven-year-old boy in Craighead County had. Maybe some kid had stumbled upon his mother, but I was certain no boy my age had never had this view. John Grisham
John Grisham quote: "I learned that lesson a long time ago. When you write popular..."

Then another team comes right behind you and you're forgotten. John Grisham

Writing was not a childhood dream of mine. I do not recall longing to write as a student. I wasn't sure how to start. John Grisham
He stared at the cheap linoleum between his shoes and admitted to himself that once again he had fallen into the trap that often snared so many of the educated and upper-class locals when they convinced themselves that the rest of the population was stupid and ignorant. Cranwell was smarter than most lawyers in town, and infinitely more prepared. John Grisham
We've sent 130 men to death row to be executed in this country, at least 130 that we know of, who have later have been exonerated because they were either innocent, or they were not fairly tried. That's 130 people that we've locked down on death row. And they've spent years there. John Grisham
John Grisham quote: "Still, something about writing made me spend large hours of my..."
Still, something about writing made me spend large hours of my free time at my desk. John Grisham
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. John Grisham
John Grisham quote: "In one long glorious acknowledgment of failure, he laid..."
In one long glorious acknowledgment of failure, he laid himself bare before God. John Grisham
And that's the mission of The Innocence Project in New York, is to exonerate people who have been wrongfully convicted, and also work from a policy angle with Congress and state legislatures to prevent future wrongful convictions. John Grisham
