Back to Author

"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."

Harlan Coben on Dreams

More quotes about Dreams

  • "The future belongs to those who believe in the beauty of their dreams."

    Eleanor Roosevelt on Dreams

  • "All our dreams can come true, if we have the courage to pursue them."

    Walt Disney on Dreams

  • "All men dream, but not equally. Those who dream by night in the dusty recesses of their minds, wake in the day to find that it was vanity: but the dreamers of the day are dangerous men, for they may act on their dreams with open eyes, to make them possible."

    T. E. Lawrence on Dreams

  • "Every great dream begins with a dreamer. Always remember, you have within you the strength, the patience, and the passion to reach for the stars to change the world."

    Harriet Tubman on Dreams

  • "Dream as if you'll live forever. Live as if you'll die today."

    James Dean on Dreams

More quotes by Harlan Coben

  • "When I was seventeen, I worked as a counsellor at a co-ed sleep-away camp for eight weeks. I loved it but it could be harrowing - it was far too much responsibility for someone my age."

  • "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."

  • "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."

  • "No characters in 'Stay Close,' including the leads, are black and white. I want them to be grey. I think that makes for a much more interesting reading experience, something that will stay with you a little bit longer."

  • "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."
