Losing my parents was the most crushing thing that ever happened to me. I lost my dad when I was 26, and it changed my life entirely. – Harlan Coben
I try to stress to my children that buying something never leads to true happiness. – Harlan Coben
I am very lucky that I get to tell stories for a living. I love being able to grab peoples attention, to keep them turning the pages, to make them stay awake all night. I want to stir the pulse, yes, but also to stir the heart. I hope The Woods does that. – Harlan Coben

Your kids can say some cruel things to you at times. For example, Nicole, Miles and Sofie are standing there in the room and Im dressed to kill in my own mind. Theyll say to me, Dad, youre not going out there looking like that are you? If that doesnt kill a star, I dont know what does! – Lionel Richie
