The readers are the ones who let us live our dreams. I try to write books which are really compelling – that youd take on vacation and rather than going out, youd read in your hotel room because you had to find out what happened. Hopefully thats what readers are responding to. – Harlan Coben
Tragedy is a hell of a teacher. Its much too strict, but its a hell of a teacher. – Harlan Coben
When I was seventeen, I worked as a counsellor at a co-ed sleep-away camp for eight weeks. I loved it but it could be harrowing – it was far too much responsibility for someone my age. – Harlan Coben
I try to stress to my children that buying something never leads to true happiness. – Harlan Coben
I envy people with dreams and passions, but I dont think that way. I still dont have a bliss to follow. For people like me – I suspect thats most people – holding out for a dream or a passion is paralyzing. I just like having work I enjoy that feels meaningful. Thats hard enough… but its enough. – Jane Pauley
