“The reason I don't argue on social media. You will be arguing with criminals, and they would be calling you names and telling you are a bad horrible person for not allowing them to do as they please.

“A man once asked me ... how I managed in my books to write such natural conversation between men when they were by themselves. Was I, by any chance, a member of a large, mixed family with a lot of male friends? I replied that, on the contrary, I was an only child and had practically never seen or spoken to any men of my own age till I was about twenty-five. "Well," said the man, "I shouldn't have expected a woman (meaning me) to have been able to make it so convincing." I replied that I had coped with this difficult problem by making my men talk, as far as possible, like ordinary human beings. This aspect of the matter seemed to surprise the other speaker; he said no more, but took it away to chew it over. One of these days it may quite likely occur to him that women, as well as men, when left to themselves, talk very much like human beings also.”

“Be careful of the company you choose to keep around you. 90 Percent of perfect crime it is an inside job. People you know. People who are close to you. Are the ones telling criminals about you. How to get to you. They are the ones planning and plotting on how to rob, kidnap, rape, spike your drinks, steal your belongings, how to kill you, how to set you up or how to frame you. Choose what you share with other people and be careful what you share. Some are planning your downfall, meanwhile cheering for you.”
