"Hope can be the most wonderful thing in the world or it can crush your heart like an eggshell." ― Harlan Coben Topic(s): Hope More From Harlan Coben "Losing my parents was the most crushing thing that ever happened to me. I lost my dad when I was 26, and it changed my life entirely." "The readers are the ones who let us live our dreams. I try to write books which are really compelling – that you’d take on vacation and rather than going out, you’d read in your hotel room because you had to find out what happened. Hopefully that’s what readers are responding to." "What I want to do is tell stories about normal people in the American suburbs. I don’t write the book where it’s a conspiracy reaching the prime minister; I don’t write the book with the big serial killer who lops off heads. My setting is a very placid pool of suburbia, family life. And within that I can make pretty big splashes." More In Hope "We need to have a pro-growth policy put in place that offers people hope and offers the opportunity for businesses to expand and for them to have confidence in what the world is going to look like for the next two or three or four years with respect to economic policy."― Dick Cheney "The telephone is a 100-year-old technology. It’s time for a change. Charging for phone calls is something you did last century."― Niklas Zennstrom "I have a lot of hope for the Constituent Assembly."― Evo Morales
