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.

More quotes by Louis Sachar
Doesn't every kid want to dig a hold to China? Didn't you? What about Chinese children?
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
You can't let anybody else tell you what your choices are. Sometimes they won't give you the right choice.
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
Rattlesnakes would be a lot more dangerous if they didn't have the rattle.
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
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
Not everyone is as nice as us.
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
The bark on the tree was just a little softer.
Louis Sachar
You have only one life, make the most of it
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
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
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
You need a reason to be sad. You don't need a reason to be happy.
Louis Sachar
Give me a dollar or I'll spit on you.
Louis Sachar
Part of me becomes the characters I'm writing about. I think readers feel like they are there, the way I am, as a result.
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
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
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.
