“I often hear people say that they read to escape reality, but I believe that what they’re really doing is reading to find reason for hope, to find strength. While a bad book leaves readers with a sense of hopelessness and despair, a good novel, through stories of values realized, of wrongs righted, can bring to readers a connection to the wonder of life. A good novel shows how life can and ought to be lived. It not only entertains but energizes and uplifts readers.”

“The Creator made women to please the eye, and to boggle the mind.”

“People are stupid. They will believe a lie because they want to believe it's true, or because they are afraid it might be true.”
