More quotes by 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
Zero wasnt worried, When you spend your whole life living in a shole, he said, the only way you can go is up.
Louis Sachar
The media tends to portray the teenage world as one where drinking and sex is taken for granted. In fact, I think most teenagers don't drink, are unsure of themselves, and feel awkward around members of the opposite sex.
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
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 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
Not everyone is as nice as us.
Louis Sachar
It's – I write the books and let the market find who reads it. I guess a young adult is anywhere from ten to fifteen.
Louis Sachar
Give me a dollar or I'll spit on you.
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
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
The bark on the tree was just a little softer.
Louis Sachar
Life will deal me many different hands, some good, some bad (maybe they've already been dealt), but from here on in, I'll be turning my own cards. —Alton Richard
Louis Sachar
You have only one life, make the most of it
Louis Sachar
I'm no good at describing my books. 'Holes' has been out now for seven years, and I still can't come up with a good answer when asked what that book is about.
Louis Sachar
Warning: Do not read this story right after eating. In fact, don't read it right before eating either. In fact, just to be safe, don't read this story if you're ever planning to eat again.
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
Doesn't every kid want to dig a hold to China? Didn't you? What about Chinese children?
Louis Sachar
I want kids to think that reading can be just as much fun and more so than TV or video games or whatever else they do. I think any other kind of message or morals that I might teach is secondary to first just enjoying a book.
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
