James Patterson Quotes

It’s our job - as parents, grandparents, aunts, uncles - to find books our kids are going to like Picture Quote #1

The hardest mysteries to solve are the ones you come to near the end, because there isn’t enough evidence, not enough to unravel, unless somehow you can go all the way back to the beginning - rewind and replay everything Picture Quote #1

Generally I find that kids ask better questions than you get with adults. Something that kids will do a lot is, they’re so nervous, and they’re not really paying attention, so they’ll ask the same question someone just asked. And you’re trying to be nice and not embarrass them any more than they are already Picture Quote #1

Being the leader means you have to make life or death decisions sometimes Picture Quote #1

...Drifting downstream in a row boat doesn’t count against your life span Picture Quote #1

Commercial books don’t even get covered. The reason why so many book reviews go out of business is because they cover a lot of stuff that nobody cares about. Imagine if the movie pages covered none of the big movies and all they covered were movies that you couldn’t even find in the theater? Picture Quote #1

The best way to get kids reading more is to give them books that they’ll gobble up - and that will make them ask for another Picture Quote #1

This time I wouldn’t forget him, because I couldn’t ever forgive him - for breaking my heart twice Picture Quote #1

I don’t think about an industry or building things, but somebody says you’re lucky if you find something you like to do, which is true, and then it’s a miracle if you get paid to do it Picture Quote #1

A lot of things that people think are risky, I don’t think are risky. I don’t get all that. I think what was really risky for network television was to let cable television to take the summers Picture Quote #1

I was always a good student, but I didn’t read that much until I was 18 and I was working my way through college Picture Quote #1

Witihin seconds the headhunter had lost control of his car and it squealed, sliding sideways right into several other cars.Cool!’ said the Gasman Picture Quote #1

The Chinese had a saying that had been in her mind for a while, troubling her: Society prepares the crime; the criminal only commits it Picture Quote #1

I hoped I wasn’t actually dead. That would make finding our parents and saving the world really hard Picture Quote #1

Then, Holden, the little Fang gang kid, came out of nowhere with an apparent death wish. He raced directly toward the maniac with the gun shrieking something that sounded like I am Starfishhh! Picture Quote #1

The weird, weird thing about devastating loss is that life actually goes on. When you’re faced with a tragedy, a loss so huge that you have no idea how you can live through it, somehow, the world keeps turning, the seconds keep ticking Picture Quote #1

Kids don’t read as much as you’d like them to, just in terms of seeing the world from different perspectives. I mean, that’s the great thing about books, still. Here’s television, here are the movies, and it’s pretty limited in terms of the perspectives Picture Quote #1

My thing is when we’re doing a movie or TV show, I just want to go in and look at it and go, That was great Picture Quote #1

A lot of people like the idea of eternal love and eternal romance. The notion of love that is more profound and deeper because it is eternal is very powerful Picture Quote #1

Man, you weigh a freaking ton. What have you been eating, rocks? * Max: Why, is your head missing some? o Chapter 68 p. 214 Fang carried Max while flying after she had a stroke or something. Gazzy: I vill now destroy de Snickuhs bahs! ter Borcht: Is dere anysing special about you? Anysing vorth saving? Fang: Besides my fashion sense? I play a mean harmonica Picture Quote #1

My favorite books are actually very complicated - ‘One Hundred Years of Solitude’, ‘Ulysses’ Picture Quote #1

I guess I write four or five hours a day, but I do it seven days a week. It’s very disciplined, yes, but it’s joy for me Picture Quote #1

Kids say the No. 1 reason they don’t read more is that they can’t find books they like. Freedom of choice is a key to getting them motivated and excited Picture Quote #1

I don’t believe in lecturing people. It’s much more effective to present reading as a fun, rewarding pastime Picture Quote #1

The fact is that our kids aren’t reading books - or frankly, much of anything lately. Schools are under funded, some schools even closing their libraries. Parents have to realize that it’s their job, and not the school’s job, to get kids into the habit of reading for fun Picture Quote #1

A lot of writers fall in love with their sentences or their construction of sentences, and sometimes that’s great, but not everybody is Gabriel Garcia Marquez or James Joyce. A lot of people like to pretend that they are, and they wind up not giving people a good read or enlightening them Picture Quote #1

This is what I believe is most important: getting good books into the hands of kids - books that will make them want to say, ‘Wow, that was great. Give me another one to read.’ Picture Quote #1
