More quotes by James Patterson
You're my best friend, my first and only love, and the most beautiful girl I've ever seen
James Patterson
Iggy. This is not a democracy, I said,(...)It's a Maxocracy.
James Patterson
Assume nothing, question everything.
James Patterson
Why do things this beautiful make me want to cry? I asked Michael as I leaned into him. It was an unguarded question, one I'd never have asked of Hugh. I don't know, said Michael. Maybe beauty, true beauty, is so overwhelming, it goes straight to our hearts. Maybe it makes us feel emotions that are locked away inside.
James Patterson
What kind of thoughtless creep would burn a book?
James Patterson
Max, if you survive your final test, can you steal me one of those magic outfits for me? I'll try to get one for each of us. Hey! 'If'?
James Patterson
Denial is not just a river in Egypt.
James Patterson
I think sometimes we give people a lot of credit just because they're writing nice sentences even if it isn't adding up to much.
James Patterson
Max, you're acting like a child, the Voice said. You're above rebelling against your fate just to rebel. You've got a date with destiny. Don't be late. I brushed some hair out of my eyes. Is that a movie quote? Or is it an actual date? I don't remember destiny asking me. I never even gave destiny my phone number.
James Patterson
I don't get a chance to be funny with the thrillers. I like to be funny, and I think I am really funny. So with 'Middle School: The Worst Years of My Life', it was fun to let loose.
James Patterson
In my office in Florida I have, I think, 30 manuscript piles around the room. Some are screenplays or comic books or graphic novels. Some are almost done. Some I'm rewriting. If I'm working with a co-writer, they'll usually write the first draft. And then I write subsequent drafts.
James Patterson
The weird, weird thing about devastating loss is that life actually goes on. When you're faced with a tragedy, a loss so huge that you have no idea how you can live through it, somehow, the world keeps turning, the seconds keep ticking.
James Patterson
Plus her mom was so awesome. She was strict about some things—don’t leave your socks lying around—but so not strict about other things, like calling the cops about my bullet wound.
James Patterson
So you have your price.... Your soul for a cookie.
James Patterson
You were designed to be very smart, Max, she told me. We electrically stimulated your synaptic nerve endings while your brain was developing. And yet I still can't program my DVD player, I said.
James Patterson
Everything I loved was taken away from me, and I did not die.
James Patterson
It is my time. The time of maximum ride.
James Patterson
Have you been playing in toxic waste lately?
James Patterson
Am I tough? Am I strong? Am I hard-core? Absolutely. Did I whimper with pathetic delight when I sank my teeth into my hot fried-chicken sandwich? You betcha.
James Patterson
Do you like to eat things? -I love eating. I list it as a hobby.
James Patterson
