More quotes by Michael Scott
But what science cannot understand, it dismisses.
Michael Scott
You are not living, you are surviving.
Michael Scott
For me, the favourite chapters have always been the last chapters in the books. I knew exactly how each book would end - and how the first chapter of the following book would begin. I knew I wanted to leave the readers with answers - and a bunch of new questions!
Michael Scott
They [my characters]speak to me all the time! In fact some of them never shut up!
Michael Scott
The fifth force was the magic of Time, the greatest of all the magics.
Michael Scott
I am a writer (and one day I'll be an author). For a long time I was a bookseller (who wrote) or a TV producer (who wrote), but for the last decade or so, its been writer.
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
Some writing courses will advise you to write what you know. I've always thought this is very odd advice ... because it means, for example, that I should not be writing about Nicholas Flamel, because I didn't live in France in the 15th Century, I was not an alchemyst, am not immortal (despite the rumours) and do not know magic.
Michael Scott
The people that you work with are, when you get down to it, your very best friends.
Michael Scott
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
You don't call retarded people retards. It's bad taste. You call your friends retards when they are acting retarded.
Michael Scott
Water is the life-giver and the death-bringer.
Michael Scott
TMI? Too Much Information. It”s just easier to say 'TMI'. I used to say 'don't go there', but that's lame.
Michael Scott
The Elders had nothing but contempt for human emotion they considered it their biggest weakness. Perenelle knew it was humankind's greatest strength.
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
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
Wait. Look. Notice. If you keep those three words in mind, you just might survive the next few days.
Michael Scott
we are nothing more than the sum of our memories and experiences
Michael Scott
The day we stop learning is the day we die.

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.
