Author Talk Book ...: I've been interviewed twice 1 5 07 mag. 09:47  
Rosamunde Pilcher
“She remembered him smiling, and realized that time, that great old healer, had finally accomplished its work, and now, across the years, the face of love no longer stirred up agonies of grief and bitterness. Rather, one was left feeling simply grateful. For how unimaginably empty the past would be without him to remember.”
Rosamunde Pilcher, The Shell Seekers

Rosamunde Pilcher
“She believed, of course ... because without something to believe in, life would be intolerable.”
Rosamunde Pilcher, The Shell Seekers

Rosamunde Pilcher
“It was good and nothing good is ever lost.”
Rosamunde Pilcher, The Shell Seekers

Rosamunde Pilcher
“She put out her hand and touched his forearm, as she would have touched some piece of porcelain or sculpture, just for the sheer animal pleasure of feeling its shape and curve beneath her fingertips.”
Rosamunde Pilcher, The Shell Seekers

Ray Bradbury
“If you stuff yourself full of poems, essays, plays, stories, novels, films, comic strips, magazines, music, you automatically explode every morning like Old Faithful. I have never had a dry spell in my life, mainly because I feed myself well, to the point of bursting. I wake early and hear my morning voices leaping around in my head like jumping beans. I get out of bed to trap them before they escape.”
Ray Bradbury
