Mystery books. I must read a hundred a year. I just wish some of them were harder to figure out. ~Martin Cruz Smith
#quotes #martin-cruz-smith #books #reading #mystery #wish

To laugh is to risk appearing a fool. To weep is to risk appearing sentimental. To reach out to another is to risk involvement. To expose feelings is to risk exposing your true self. To place your ideas and dreams before a crowd is to risk their loss. To love is to risk not being loved in return. To hope is to risk pain. To try is to risk failure. But risks must be taken, because the greatest hazard in life is to risk nothing. ~William Arthur Ward
