More quotes by Michael Scott
It's always been Apple's goal to ship something we were proud of and something people would be proud to own, and I think that's still true from thirty years ago.

I wanted to be a librarian from a very young age. Some of my earliest memories are being taken to the local library. I ended up working as a bookseller. Becoming a writer was the logical offshoot of being a reader.
Michael Scott
The people that you work with are, when you get down to it, your very best friends.
Michael Scott
I'm always writing - its what I like to do. But when I'm not writing, I'm reading.

And once begun, change cannot be reversed.

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!

The SUV was the only car moving. Josh had his foot pressed flat to the floor, and the needle on the speedometer hovered close to eighty. He was becoming more comfortable with the controls—he hadn't hit anything for at least a minute.

A good story is always a journey. It is about taking the journey, the people the hero meets along the way and how they change him or her. All stories are journeys. They don't have to be shocking or outrageous: they simply have to be interesting.
Michael Scott
Once you have been touched by magic, you are forever changed. You leave a trail.

we are nothing more than the sum of our memories and experiences

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
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
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
I'm probably better known in the US as a YA writer, I have a huge body of adult horror and fantasy behind me.

You don't call retarded people retards. It's bad taste. You call your friends retards when they are acting retarded.

There have always been people like you, Nicholas Flamel. People who think they know what's best, who decide what people should see and read and listen to, who ultimately try to shape how the rest of the world think and acts. I've spent my entire life fighting the likes of you.
Michael Scott
