James Patterson Quotes

No one is going to admit it to you, but we’re all miracles out here, every last one of us Picture Quote #1

I knew how good love could be -- I knew it was the best thing I’d ever done in my life -- and yet here I was alone. I was taking chances with my life. I kept telling everybody that I was all right, but I wasn’t Picture Quote #1

I love movies and I like a lot of good television. At the end of the project, I don’t care if they changed [it from the book], I just want to look at it and go, I loved that. That really turned out well Picture Quote #1

I always figured there would be a kid audience and an adult audience, and there is. That’s true for ‘Hunger Games’ and ‘Twilight’ and ‘Harry Potter.’ And ‘Maximum Ride,’ for sure. In particular what happens is a lot of parents share the books with their kids, and the mom has read it, and the kids, and they talk about it Picture Quote #1

Bad stuff happens. Sometimes it makes no sense at all. Sometimes its unfair. Sometimes, it just plain sucks. Bad stuff happens sometimes. Always remember that, but remember that you have to move on somehow. You just pick your head up and stare at something beautiful like the sky, or the ocean, and you move the hell on Picture Quote #1

Stop trying to write sentences and start trying to write stories Picture Quote #1

We probably looked like starving orphan children. Hey! We were starving orphan children Picture Quote #1

Knowledge is a terrible burden. It may help you, but it might also destroy you Picture Quote #1

Life can be like walking on a high wire. Falling seems a tiny misstep away Picture Quote #1

The trick to having obedient, unquestioning children was to have death be the other option Picture Quote #1

The weird, weird thing about devastating loss is tha life actually goes on Picture Quote #1

She had a lot of hugs to give, but not enough people to give them to Picture Quote #1

Half the time when brothers wrestle, it's just an excuse to hug each other Picture Quote #1

Always expect the unexpected. Right around Thanksgiving, when the new Alex Cross will be out. It's called Four Blind Mice and it's a pretty amazing story about several murders inside the military Picture Quote #1

You’re lucky if you find something you like to do, and it’s a miracle if somebody will pay you to do it Picture Quote #1

I do 30 to 40 books a year, so it’s a fair amount of reading. Back and forth between nonfiction and fiction. I usually have three or four things that are open on my desk, on my bed, on audiobook in the car Picture Quote #1

I grew up in a house full of women: my mother, grandmother, three sisters, and two female cats. And I still have the buzz of their conversations in my head. As an adult, I have more female friends than male ones: I just love the way that women talk Picture Quote #1

Other than my hundreds of arrests I really don’t have that much experience with the law. While the majority of people aren’t corrupt, there certainly is an awful lot of corruption in this country Picture Quote #1

The vampire underworld is much larger than most people could imagine. It exists in all the cities mentioned in the book, but also in many, many more. Teenagers, especially, seem to like to act out vampire fantasies Picture Quote #1

I believe we should spend less time worrying about the quantity of books children read and more time introducing them to quality books that will turn them on to the joy of reading and turn them into lifelong readers Picture Quote #1

What I’m really addicted to is getting people to understand that if their kids aren’t competent readers coming out of middle school, it’s really going to be hard for them in high school 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

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
