Hope can be the most wonderful thing in the world or it can crush your heart like an eggshell. – Harlan Coben
If Im not writing well, Im not happy. If Im not spending enough time with my family, Im not happy. If Im not connecting to friends or if I dont work out enough… You get the point. Everything has to be balanced. Nothing should be an extreme. – Harlan Coben
I always say three things make a writer: inspiration, obviously perspiration, doing the work. But the third is desperation. Im not really fit for anything else, or to have a real job. That fear drives me. The pressure has always been self inflicted. – Harlan Coben
You cant have an up without a down, a right without a left, a back without a front – or a happy without a sad. – Harlan Coben
Acting is something I love. Its a great craft that I have a lot of respect for. But I dont think its any greater challenge than teaching 8-year-olds or any other career. In my life, I try not to make it more important than it is and I just hope that rubs off on the people around me. – Hugh Jackman
