More quotes by Louis Sachar
Give me a dollar or I'll spit on you.
Louis Sachar
He could hardly lift his spoon during breakfast, and then he was out on the lake, his spoon soon replaced by a shovel.
Louis Sachar
I didn't become a good writer until I learned how to rewrite. And I don't just mean fixing spelling and adding a comma. I rewrite each of my books five or six times, and each time I change huge portions of the story.
Louis Sachar
A lot of people don't believe in curses. A lot of people don't believe in yellow-spotted lizards either, but if one bites you, it doesn't make a difference whether you believe in it or not.
Louis Sachar
But I'm taking small steps 'Cause I don't know where I'm going I'm taking small steps And I don't know what to say. Small steps, Trying to pull myself together And maybe I'll discover A clue along the way!
Louis Sachar
If only, if only, the woodpecker sighs, The bark on the tree was as soft as the skies. While the wolf waits below, hungry and lonely, Crying to the moo-oo-oon, If only, If only.
Louis Sachar
Not everyone is as nice as us.
Louis Sachar
You need a reason to be sad. You don't need a reason to be happy.
Louis Sachar
The bark on the tree was just a little softer.
Louis Sachar

Louis Sachar
Toni hears voices, said Trapp. But who is this Dr. Ellsworth to tell her she's a schizophrenic? Maybe she just perceives better than the rest of us. Maybe the voices she hears are just uncommunicated ideas, floating free.
Louis Sachar
I jog in the morning and then write for about two hours. There are times when I'm really excited and can't wait to get back to it. But there are days when I don't know what's coming next, and I really have to force it.
Louis Sachar
I guess what led to me writing 'Holes' was having moved to Texas in 1991, and it was sort of my reaction to Texas.
Louis Sachar
I write in the mornings, two or three hours every day, and then at least four times a week I play in a duplicate game at a bridge club. I try to go to tournaments three, four, or five times a year.
Louis Sachar
I think of a book and a play, or a book and a movie, as two separate things - I don't think of it as my novel having a new life.
Louis Sachar
What amazes me is that most days feel useless. I don't seem to accomplish anything-just a few pages, most of which don't seem very good. Yet, when I put all those wasted days together, I somehow end up with a book of which I'm very proud.
Louis Sachar
In a way, it made him sad. He couldn't help but think that a hundred times zero was still nothing.
Louis Sachar
We may be surrounded by some greater reality, to which we are oblivious. And even if we could somehow perceive it in some entirely new way, it is extremely doubtful we would be able to comprehend what we perceived.
Louis Sachar
Rattlesnakes would be a lot more dangerous if they didn't have the rattle.
Louis Sachar
You have only one life, make the most of it
