More quotes by Michael Scott
We're all homos. Homo sapiens.
Michael Scott
Making sure that the geography and timelines work is always the hardest part of writing. But you owe it to the readers to get it right!
Michael Scott
You must learn to heed your senses. Humans use but a tiny percentage of theirs. They barely look, they rarely listen, they never smell, and they think that they can only experience feelings through their skin. But they talk, oh, do they talk.
Michael Scott
Often the greatest act of courage is admitting that one has made a mistake...Follow your hearts. Protect one another, trust one another, because, at the end of the day, all of these people want something from you, or want you to do something for them, or be something that you are not. Your own responsibility is to one another.
Michael Scott
the best lie is wrapped around a core 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
There is always something to see, if you only know how to look.
Michael Scott
Love is the water of life, drink deeply.
Michael Scott
The research. It is always the best part of writing. And, of course, it is the great excuse to travel.
Michael Scott
Distance makes everything beautiful.
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
it is only when no one remembers that you are truly lost. That is the true death.
Michael Scott
Being immortal must have a lot of attractions. You can travel all over the world, see everything, do everything. But what happens if you are immortal and your friends and family are not? You are then destined to watch them age and die.
Michael Scott
I'm probably better known in the US as a YA writer, I have a huge body of adult horror and fantasy behind me.
Michael Scott
So you should be able to see them clearly in your imagination. We always find it easier to visualize what we fear it's what keeps us afraid of the dark.
Michael Scott
The idea of selling a Cezanne to buy a Morisot seems explosively contentious.
Michael Scott
But the truth is a double-edged sword it is a dangerous thing.
Michael Scott
Abraham Lincoln once said that if you are a racist, I will attack you with the north. And those are the principles that I carry with me in the workplace.
Michael Scott
Leader. Ship. The word 'ship' is hidden inside the word 'leadership,' as its... derivation.
Michael Scott
I spend all my time trying to keep thoughts away and ignore them....But here you are, trying to remember your own life, writing your thoughts down so that you don't forget. I suddenly realized what it would be like not to know, not to remember.
Michael Scott
