applaud authors books coming community giving librarians libraries library people serious unsure
I think libraries are an important part of the community. If it wasn't for librarians recommending our books to people coming into the library unsure of what to read, where would authors be? I really applaud this community for being so serious about giving to their libraries.
characters create ordinary people
You have to create characters who will whisk people away from their ordinary lives.
accident both difference fatal motions people victim
The thing that most people didn't understand...was that a rape victim and a victim of a fatal accident were both gone, forever. The difference was that the rape victim still had to go through the motions of being alive.
coming hell late love people second stop turned watching
As it turned out, hell wasn't watching the people you love get hurt; it was coming in during the second act, when it was already too late to stop it from happening.
people novel bother
Many people have a novel inside them, but most don't bother to get it out.
love-you people lines
The bottom line in both cases is that people don't change; that no matter how charming you are and how fiercely you love, you cannot turn a person into something she's not.
mother people feelings
My mother walks forward. She's crying, but there's a smile on her face. For God's sake, is it any wonder I can't ever understand what you people are feeling?
people giving burden
God doesn't give people burdens they can't handle.
people giving rooms
People change, but only if you give them room to do it.
country mean people
I don't understand why people never say what they mean. It's like the immigrants who come to a country and learn the language but are completely baffled by idioms. (Seriously, how could anyone who isn't a native English speaker 'get the picture,' so to speak, and not assume it has something to do with a photo or a painting?)
stars sky people
eskimos maybe? believed stars were holes in the sky where people who died could peek through at you
people changed wells
People changed. Even the people you thought you knew as well as you knew yourself.
feel-better giving people
Most people who offer their help do it to make themselves feel better, not us. To be honest, I don't blame them. It's superstition: If you give assistance to the family in need... if you throw salt over your shoulder... if you don't step on the cracks, then maybe you'll be immune. Maybe you'll be able to convince yourself that this could never happen to you.
people want truth-is
People ask all the time how I'm doing, but the truth is, they don't really want to know.
