| d74789e | I'm a big believer in first lines. If a writer doesn't grab you with their first sentence, even in a literary novel, they might need to think about another line of work. | Greg Iles | ||
| a23cfc4 | he committed such a heinous act, would have owned up to it and taken his punishment like a man, as the archaic phrase goes. That may be a quaint and sexist notion these days, but some of what is best about the South is archaic. The tragedy is that it should be so. | Greg Iles | ||
| 55a0156 | About twenty minutes ago, during a commercial break, Melba had thought she'd heard a helicopter in the distance. Tom had been unable to hear it, but that was no surprise, given his progressive hearing loss, and she'd heard nothing since. He told her it was probably nothing to worry about. Statistically, Mississippi had some of the worst drivers in the nation, so LifeFlight helicopters were common at all hours, even over rural counties. | Greg Iles | ||

| b1ba7df | came across a letter by T. S. Eliot, who I had always vaguely assumed was English. To my surprise, I discovered that Eliot had grown up along the same river I had, in St. Louis, and to a friend he wrote this about the Mississippi: I feel that there is something in having passed one's childhood beside the big river, which is incommunicable to those who have not.

| 6dfafda | Marrying someone you don't love is a sin. Because it sends both of you to hell. It destroys the other person first, but in the end it gets you, too. The magnitude of what you've done, the damage you've caused by forcing you both to live a lie. | Greg Iles | ||

| d8c6888 | If physicists want to develop a time machine, they should explore fear. Fear dilates and compresses time without limit. For desperate people awaiting rescue, every instant stretches into unendurable agony; for those awaiting death by cancer, the earth spins relentlessly, shortening the days until they pass like fanned pages in a book.

| bace59e | Oh. Does Mississippi have some kind of grave-desecration statute? I know they differ from state to state." "Mississippi does, thank God. Anybody who comes across human remains in this state must report them. And a discovery like that stops whatever's going on around it. Even major construction. Doesn't matter whether the land is public or private." | Greg Iles | ||

Even from the kitchen counter, I can see Jet's naked body sitting astride mine on the patio steamer chair. "That didn't come off Pornhub," Paul says. "That's the real deal." | Greg Iles | ||

My friend Ken seemed to know everyone and once took me to the NBC Studios in Burbank, where he introduced me to Steve Allen. "Steverino," as he was known by friends, must have thought that I wanted to get into show business and promised that if I applied myself, I would go places. I hadn't really given show business much thought, but it sounded good to me. Howe.. | hollywood sea-stories steve-allen | Captain Hank Bracker "Seawater One...." | |
