James Patterson
I'm a freaking princess when it comes to other people's feelings. Yo dogbreath, get your paws of the everglades. -Max
James Patterson
Fang (sarcasticaly): Go pick out a tree and I'll carve our initials in it. Max: (screams and goes in the bathroom)

One of the nice things about books as opposed to television and movies to some extent is it's not a passive entertainment. People really do get involved, and they do create, and they do have their own visions of what different characters look like and what should happen. It's great - it means their brains are working.
James Patterson
Dreams die hard. And sometimes they don't have to die at all.
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
Being the leader means you have to make life or death decisions sometimes.
James Patterson

I won’t lie to you—it was hilarious. Yes, we were in trouble, yes, this was a disaster, and so one and so forth, but I have to say, seeing those upturned faces, the looks, was bout the best thing that happened to us since we’d come to New York.
James Patterson
Angel: What's sauerkraut? Max: You don't want it. Trust me.
