Louis Sachar Quotes

You need a reason to be sad. You don’t need a reason to be happy Picture Quote #1

I didn’t become a good writer until I learned how to rewrite. And I don’t just mean fixing spelling and adding a comma. I rewrite each of my books five or six times, and each time I change huge portions of the story Picture Quote #1

Life is like crossing a river. If you take a huge step-aim for too bigger dreams-then the current will knock you off your feet and carry you away. The way to do it is small steps, you will take hold of life. You will get there in the end Picture Quote #1

But I’m taking small steps ‘Cause I don’t know where I’m going I’m taking small steps And I don’t know what to say. Small steps, Trying to pull myself together And maybe I’ll discover A clue along the way! Picture Quote #1

What amazes me is that most days feel useless. I don’t seem to accomplish anything-just a few pages, most of which don’t seem very good. Yet, when I put all those wasted days together, I somehow end up with a book of which I’m very proud Picture Quote #1

I’m not stupid. I know everybody thinks I am. I just don’t like answering their questions Picture Quote #1

If only, if only, the moon speaks no reply; Reflecting the sun and all that’s gone by. Be strong my weary wolf, turn around boldly. Fly high, my baby bird, My angel, my only Picture Quote #1

When anything bad happens to me or someone I know, I always know who to blame. My no-good-dirty-rotten-pig-stealing-great-great-grandfather Picture Quote #1

I never think of an entire book at once. I always just start with a very small idea. In ‘Holes,’ I just began with the setting; a juvenile correctional facility located in the Texas desert. Then I slowly make up the story, and rewrite it several times, and each time I rewrite it, I get new ideas, and change the old ideas around Picture Quote #1

Whenever you give someone a present or sing a holiday song, you’re helping Santa Claus. To me, that’s what Christmas is all about. Helping Santa Claus! Picture Quote #1

Not counting ‘Small Steps,’ I think ‘Holes’ is my best book, in terms of plot, and setting, and the way the story revealed itself. It hasn’t changed my life, other than that I have more money than I did before I wrote it. I’m still too close to ‘Small Steps’ to compare it to ‘Holes.’ Picture Quote #1

It’s - I write the books and let the market find who reads it. I guess a young adult is anywhere from ten to fifteen Picture Quote #1

I remember my fourth grade teacher reading ‘Charlotte’s Web’ and ‘Stuart Little’ to us - both, of course, by E. B. White. His stories were genuinely funny, thought provoking and full of irony and charm. He didn’t condescend to his readers, which was why I liked his books, and why I wasn’t a big reader of other children’s’ books Picture Quote #1

I’m no good at describing my books. ‘Holes’ has been out now for seven years, and I still can’t come up with a good answer when asked what that book is about Picture Quote #1

I think what makes good children’s books is putting the same care and effort into it as if I was writing for adults. I don’t write anything - put anything in my books - that I’d be embarrassed to put in an adult book Picture Quote #1

Warning: Do not read this story right after eating. In fact, don’t read it right before eating either. In fact, just to be safe, don’t read this story if you’re ever planning to eat again Picture Quote #1

I don’t think too much about the audience when I’m writing... I’m aware that ‘Holes’ was read by kids as young as 8, up to adults Picture Quote #1

My parents played bridge, and I remember being fascinated watching them. I sometimes got a chance to sit in on a hand, which I loved. But then I didn’t actually play on my own for about 30 years Picture Quote #1

The Cardturner,’ while it has bridge in it, you certainly don’t need to know how to play bridge to read it. It’s basically a book about relationships - between Alton and his great-uncle, and Alton and his friends, and how it changes his life Picture Quote #1

I’m an avid bridge player. I usually go to the local bridge club three or four times a week. I’ve always been a game-player, and I think bridge is one of the greatest games ever invented. It’s too bad that not many young people play it any more Picture Quote #1

It’s funny how you can go from hating a girl to maybe liking her, maybe liking her a lot, just because she shows a little interest in you Picture Quote #1

You have only one life, make the most of it Picture Quote #1

Not everyone is as nice as us Picture Quote #1

Each beat told him he was still alive, at least for one more second Picture Quote #1

The time you quit learning is the time to quit playing Picture Quote #1

The impossible is more believable than the highly improbable Picture Quote #1

The bark on the tree was just a little softer Picture Quote #1

Rattlesnakes would be a lot more dangerous if they didn’t have the rattle Picture Quote #1

I write in the mornings, two or three hours every day, and then at least four times a week I play in a duplicate game at a bridge club. I try to go to tournaments three, four, or five times a year Picture Quote #1

He could hardly lift his spoon during breakfast, and then he was out on the lake, his spoon soon replaced by a shovel Picture Quote #1
