More quotes by James Patterson
What test? Asked Nudge. Max, you're incorruptible. Only by power. I said. You haven't tried chocolate yet.
James Patterson
Listen, street punk. You're a guy, and you're a couple inches taller, and maybe forty pounds heavier, and ooh, you're in a gang. But I've survived ten years of Catholic school, and I will cut you off at your knees without a blink. Do you understand?
James Patterson
Fang: Have you guys been playing in the toxic waste again? Been bitten by a radioactive spider? Struck by lightning? Drink a super-soldier serum?
James Patterson
When I write I pretend I'm telling a story to someone in the room and I don't want them to get up until I'm finished.
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
Gazzy: Just Ten? Angel: No. Gazzy: Five? Angel: No.
James Patterson
I was always a good student, but I didn't read that much until I was 18 and I was working my way through college.
James Patterson
Jane-Sweetie, we've talked about your weight- my mother began. I'm only eight years old, I said. How about I promise to be anorexic later?
James Patterson
Do you know how fast you were going? Fang looked at the speedometer...No, he said truthfully. I tagged you at seventy miles per hour,she said, pulling out a clipboard. I let out an impressed whistle. Excellent! I never thought we'd be that fast. Fang shot me a look and I put my hand over my mouth.
James Patterson
You are an endless project...changing, evolving, surprising.
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
I didn't care for most of the books I was being asked to read in school. I started reading like crazy right after high school when I got a job in a mental hospital. I was working my way through college, and I did a lot of night shifts, and there was nothing to do. So I read like crazy, serious stuff, all the classics.
James Patterson
Who, last time I'd checked, was still on our official archenemy list. (Yes, we have to keep a list. It's kind of sad.)
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
What was premeditated murder if not calculated leverage?
James Patterson
Being the leader means you have to make life or death decisions sometimes.
James Patterson
...Drifting downstream in a row boat doesn't count against your life span.
James Patterson
I want to do it too! (sitting motionless) Nudge: Nope, you stand out like a fart in a church. Max: (muttering) Appropriately enough. Iggy: What about me? (stands still) Max: No, you're visible. Iggy: Am not! Max: (throws a pinecone at him) Could I do that if I wouldn't see you?
James Patterson
I looked around. As flock leader, everyone was expecting me to make a decision. Jeb's presence here would bring uncertainty, chaos, probably danger. It would perk up my day.
James Patterson
Popcorn for breakfast! Why not? It's a grain. It's like grits, but with high self-esteem.
James Patterson
