I don't necessarily love the s...

I don't necessarily love the sports per se, I love the stories behind them. Also in a kind of perverse way I like to study what it does to us, why we care so much. It's caring about something that's utterly meaningless.

Tragedy is a hell of a teacher...

Tragedy is a hell of a teacher. It's much too strict, but it's a hell of a teacher.

Make no mistake, adolescence is a war. No one gets out unscathed.

I wrote seven Myron Bolitar no...

I wrote seven Myron Bolitar novels in a row, and I never want to write a Myron book where he just solves a crime. Every one of them I want to be personal, and I want him to grow and change. The problem with that is, it makes the series limited, you can't write a series where a guy is always going through some kind of crisis.

I try to stress to my children that buying something never leads to true happiness.

Harlan Coben 128 quotes

This is the price you pay for ...

This is the price you pay for having a great father. You get the wonder, the joy, the tender moments - and you get the tears at the end, too.

You know, people call mystery ...

You know, people call mystery novels or thrillers 'puzzles.' I never understood that, because when I buy a puzzle, I already know what it is. It's on the box. And even if I don't, if it's a 5,000-piece puzzle of the 'Mona Lisa', it's not like I put the last piece in and go, 'I had no idea it's the 'Mona Lisa'!'

I pretty much only wear Lilly Pulitzer ties because my best friend owns the company.

Tragedy is a hell of a teacher. It's much too strict, but it's a hell of a teacher.

Let me back up a little and tell you why I prefer writing to real life: You can rewrite. A novel, for example, can be cleaned up, altered, trimmed, improved. Life, on the other hand, is one big messy rough draft.

Harlan Coben 128 quotes

The muse is not an angelic voi...

The muse is not an angelic voice that sits on your shoulder and sings sweetly. The muse is the most annoying whine. The muse isn't hard to find, just hard to like - she follows you everywhere, tapping you on the shoulder, demanding that you stop doing whatever else you might be doing and pay attention to her.

Harlan Coben 128 quotes

Hope can be the most wonderful...

Hope can be the most wonderful thing in the world or it can crush your heart like an eggshell.

I'd never had money growing up...

I'd never had money growing up, and it's never been that important to me, except maybe to take our kids on a nice vacation or something like that.

Harlan Coben 128 quotes

You can't have an up without a...

You can't have an up without a down, a right without a left, a back without a front - or a happy without a sad.

And I love the twist. I love t...

And I love the twist. I love to fool you once, I love to fool you twice, and on the very last page, quite often - very last paragraph sometimes - I like to just play with your perception one more time in a way that makes everything that came before just a little bit different.

Harlan Coben 128 quotes

When you like something and yo...

When you like something and you're pretty good at it and you can make a living doing it, you don't ask why. You just count your blessings and go with it.

I'm thinking of taking up golf, but the idea of spending time with golfers frightens me.

In real life, coincidences happen all the time. In novels, they are leapt upon with fury.

There are three things that make a person a writer: inspiration, perspiration and desperation.

I love stories. When I'm writing, what I pretend subconsciously is that we're cavemen, we're sitting around the fire, and I'm telling you stories. If I bore you, you're probably going to pick up a big club and hit me over the head.
