Quotes by Kristine Kathryn Rusch  (?)
Quotes are added by the Goodreads community and are not verified by Goodreads. (Learn more)

“Like Elmore Leonard and Donald Westlake and Robert B. Parker and oh so many others, I want to die with my boots on, facedown on my keyboard if possible, in the middle of a sentence.”
Kristine Kathryn Rusch

“Perhaps true faith is a form of insanity.”

“Our subconscious works in metaphors, stories, and word play. That's why a particular story or movie may mean more to some people than to others. Have you considered why you quest for this tale now?”
Kristine Kathryn Rusch
