More quotes by Michael Scott
You are not living, you are surviving.
Michael Scott
I was brought up in a home where I saw my parents read and I was taken to bookshops and libraries, so I grew up feeling very comfortable around books. Also, Ireland is a country which has honoured its writers and poets, so when someone says they wanted to be a writer, its not mocked or looked down upon.
Michael Scott
Artists want to sell their work, sure. But they aren't out there asking questions about what people want and what they don't want, now are they?
Michael Scott
What is it like being single? I like it! I like starting each day with a sense of possibility. And I'm optimistic, because everyday I get a little more desperate. And desperate situations yield the quickest results.
Michael Scott
Here words can kill - literally.
Michael Scott
Leader. Ship. The word 'ship' is hidden inside the word 'leadership,' as its... derivation.
Michael Scott
Every story starts with an idea, but it is the characters that move this idea forward.
Michael Scott
One of the oldest secrets of alchemy is that every living thing, from the most complex creatures right down to the simplest leaf, carries the seeds of its creation within itself.
Michael Scott
First up, the lost and found has gone missing. It itself, is lost. So please try not to lose anything until we find it.
Michael Scott
The most reward experience is having another writer come up to you and say that they started writing because they read my books. That is how writing as a profession continues: readers becomes writers who inspire new readers.
Michael Scott
Wait. Look. Notice. If you keep those three words in mind, you just might survive the next few days.
Michael Scott
But what science cannot understand, it dismisses.
Michael Scott
Guess what? I have flaws. What are they? Oh I donno, I sing in the shower? Sometimes I spend too much time volunteering. Occasionally I'll hit somebody with my car. So sue me-- no, don't sue me. That is opposite the point I'm trying to make.
Michael Scott
The strong survive, but the courageous triumph.
Michael Scott
The line between confidence and arrogance is very fine, Josh,” Flamel said quietly. “And the line between arrogance and stupidity even finer. Sophie,” he added, without looking at her.
Michael Scott
Negotiations are about controlling things, about being in the driver's seat and make one tiny mistake you're dead. I made one tiny mistake, I wore women's clothes
Michael Scott
The best moment is when you walk into a bookstore and see a pile of your books - that is the oddest experience in the world!
Michael Scott
At the heart of every legend there is a grain of truth.
Michael Scott
There really is no difference in the actual writing or plotting. I choose to tell different stories for the younger reader and, of course, I would never put sex and extreme violence in a YA book. But writing for adults and children requires the same care and attention.
Michael Scott
Nowadays I find chocolate and/or chocolate-based snacks to be great motivators. Everyone loves chocolate. If someone has a lot of work to do, put a piece of fudge in a glass container (so they can see it) and let them know that if they accomplish their tasks, they can eat the fudge. You'll definitely get a reaction!
