“I will give them nightmares to haunt their dreams long after I'm gone.”
Laini Taylor, Days of Blood & Starlight

Sue Grafton
“Ghosts don't haunt us. That's not how it works. They're present among us because we won't let go of them."

"I don't believe in ghosts," I said, faintly.

"Some people can't see the color red. That doesn't mean it isn't there," she replied.”
Sue Grafton, M is for Malice
