James Patterson
Man, you weigh a freaking ton, he told me. What've you been eating, rocks? Why, is your head missing some? I croaked. His mouth almost quirked in a smile, and that's when I knew how upset he'd been
James Patterson
They're afraid of change, and we must change. They're afraid of the young, and we are the young. They're afraid of music, and music is our life. They're afraid of books, and knowledge, and ideas. They're most afraid of our magic.

James Patterson
They turned to Angel. We will call you Little One, the leader said, obviously deciding to dispense with the whole confusing name thing. Okay, said Angel agreeably. I'll call you Guy in a White Lab Coat. He frowned. That can be his Indian name, I suggested.
James Patterson
There's nothing more annoying than cold logic and reason when you've got a good fit going.
James Patterson
Max-I'm not going to die today.
James Patterson

James Patterson
Fang: When do I get out of here? Max: They say a week. Fang: So, like, tomorrow? Max: That's what I'm thinking.
James Patterson
Okay, okay, okay. I understood that pushing the elevator button over and over again would not make the elevator appear sooner. But I couldn't help myself
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.
