In the end, we know what makes us happy. We also know what makes us unhappy. That’s the irony. We know and yet we still mess it up. That’s part of the human condition, no, and why we need to work on it. Harlan Coben Read Quote
Life may not always fall into neat chapters, and you may not always get the satisfying ending you’re looking for, but sometimes a good explanation is all the rewrite you need. Harlan Coben Read Quote
Children learn much more from how you act than from what you tell them. There are times this worries me – we parents are rarely the role models we want to be. True for life. True for driving. Harlan Coben Read Quote
The state of New Jersey is really two places – terrible cities and wonderful suburbs. I live in the suburbs, the final battleground of the American dream, where people get married and have kids and try to scratch out a happy life for themselves. It’s very romantic in that way, but a bit naive. I like to play with that in my work. Harlan Coben Read Quote

The readers are the ones who let us live our dreams.

Hopefully that’s what readers are responding to. Harlan Coben Read Quote
There are three things that make a person a writer: inspiration, perspiration and desperation. Harlan Coben Read Quote
