Sarah Zettel
I'm smart enough to know that Elizabeth had no doubt seen dozens of men leap over curbs without her falling in love with the leaper, but I do believe this: When an endeavor is special in a person's life, others discern it intuitively and appreciate it more, like the praise a child receives for a lumpy clay sculpture. And as ordinary as such an event might be, it can be instilled with uncommon power. Steve Martin
Sue Grafton quote: "The critical lessons in life hold sway whether you like it or..."
The critical lessons in life hold sway whether you like it or not. Sue Grafton
