“I've always loved writing emotionally rich, character-driven novels that explore the way people fall in love and deal with life's triumphs and tragedies. I enjoy writing the contemporary and historical books equally, though perhaps 'enjoy' is the wrong word.” PeopleWayWritingBookCharacterFallEnjoyDealsNovelRichTragedyHistoricalFalling In LoveDrivenContemporaryTriumphWrong Words Author:Susan Wiggs
“To believe that man's aggressiveness or territoriality is in the nature of the beast is to mistake some men for all men, contemporary society for all possible societies, and, by a remarkable transformation, to justify what is as what needs must be; social repression becomes a response to, rather than a cause of, human violence. Pessimism about man serves to maintain the status quo. It is a luxury for the affluent, a sop to the guilt of the politically inactive, a comfort to those who continue to enjoy the amenities of privilege.” MenNeedsBelieveHumansSocialCausesEnjoyMistakeViolenceComfortTransformationGuiltResponsePrivilegeContemporaryLuxuryBeastRemarkableJustifyPessimismStatus QuoRepressionAffluentAggressivenessAmenitiesContemporary Society Author:Leon Eisenberg
