It is a curious thought, but it is only when you see people looking ridiculous that you realize just how much you love them.

But surely for everything you have to love you have to pay some price.

It is ridiculous to set a detective story in New York City. New York City is itself a detective story.

I've always believed in writing without a collaborator, because where two people are writing the same book, each believes he gets all the worry and only half the royalties.

These little grey cells. It is up to them.

If one sticks too rigidly to one's principles, one would hardly see anybody.
