| 4dde9b3 | Basically, if you put a fence around New York City, you'd have the world's biggest nontraveling circus. | James Patterson | ||
| 5565496 | This was the weird part with me and Miller. We both hated each other, but even more than that, he wanted my money and I wanted my notebook back. Neither of us had said anything about it to Stricker, even when we both got suspended. It was like middle school Mafia or something. | James Patterson | ||
| 975f543 | The next forty-five minutes in that office was about as much fun as a day at Disney World--when it's pouring rain. And all there is to eat are hot-dog buns. And you get electrocuted on the rides. | James Patterson | ||
| 8727272 | Good memories are like charms...Each is special. You collect them, one by one, until one day you look back and discover they make a long, colorful bracelet. | James Patterson | ||
| b6f3fd1 | But after a while, you know, I find it better to face in one direction, in front of you, just let the past lay and get on with it, | James Patterson | ||
| 0f6bb3f | The taxi was a V-6. Good, I'd probably need all of that. I clicked off the radio and AC to funnel extra power. | James Patterson | ||
| c17be7c | We are the sum of our thoughts. What you choose to dwell on will dictate your emotions. | James Patterson | ||
| 8030496 | If you're going around in circles, maybe you're cutting corners. | James Patterson | ||
| e0ebc73 | HYSTERICAL HISTORY Bumping into Vincent O'Neil makes me think about what Uncle Frankie said. I need new material for Boston, not Vincent's stale and stinky fart jokes from The Big Book of Butt Bugles and Blampfs. So I keep my eyes open for new concepts to work out as I go to history class that afternoon. We're supposed to give a presentation on our favorite president. I chose Millard Fillmore. Why? Because nobody else will. Plus, his name i.. | James Patterson | ||
| 00ff2fc | Love between two people can last a long time if the people love themselves some and are ready to give love to another person. | James Patterson | ||
| 8f1b4ab | The next morning, Mom set two plates of scrambled eggs in front of me and Georgia and then sat down to watch us eat. She loves to watch us eat, which I totally don't get. I mean, she works at a diner. She watches people eat all day long. | James Patterson | ||
| 0e490c4 | Victory belongs to the player who makes the next-to-last mistake. | James Patterson | ||
| cca71ab | These are the cafeteria ladies. I call them Millie, Billie, and Tilly. I think they're part of a government program to get rid of the middle school population in this country, one lunch at a time. | James Patterson | ||

| f93b200 | Ambition makes more trusty slaves than need. | James Patterson | ||
| 0436742 | I'm seriously going to be sick, C.P.," I said and turned away. "Hey, serial killer dude!" I called out toward the street. "You can come get me now! I can't live with the image that is now burned on my brain." | James Patterson Confessions The Private school Murders | ||
| f1a728d | The secret of imaginary friends. Children have imaginary friends to help guide them into their lives. We help children feel less alone, help them find their place in the world, in their families. But then we have to leave, have to. It's always been that way, and it will always be that way, Jane. That's just... how it works. | James Patterson | ||
| b374c07 | DIAGRAMMING MY DEATH SENTENCE | James Patterson | ||
| 78fb9d5 | In February, Nixon, his way paved by secret journeys that Kissinger took in 1971 to Peking, made a lavishly televised week-long visit to the People's Republic of China, thereby dramatizing his commitment to better relations with one of America's most determined foes. That Nixon, a life-long Cold Warrior who had assailed Truman for "losing China," could and did make such a journey staggered and excited contemporaries." | James T. Patterson | ||
| d24f18a | Everybody's a critic these days. | James Patterson | ||
| 321e7c5 | I'm Dr. Ethan Kane, director of the Hauer Institute. My senior medical staff joins me in welcoming all of you to Maryland and to Liberty General Hospital. Think of it! You've been chosen to make an extraordinary journey with us. You'll be making medical history, making some very good money as well, and this will be the best experience you've ever had. I guarantee it! | James Patterson | ||
| ad2ea88 | that kid's nothing but a little hoodlum. | James Patterson | ||
| ae3a88b | He'd noticed that his grandson was working too hard, and he was the one who told him about the marbles. He told it this way. He said that the average life span for men was around seventy-five years. That meant thirty-nine hundred Saturdays--to play when you were a kid and to be with your family when you got older and wiser." "I see," I said. "Or to play once you got older. Or even to give lectures to anyone who'll listen." "Shush, Alex. Now.. | James Patterson | ||

| bc7c7a1 | Justice doesn't necessarily make the world a better place. Compassion always does. | James Patterson | ||
| cfce105 | Because frying bacon is how we stoic Irishmen say I love you. | James Patterson | ||
| 81b8138 | The color of truth is gray. | James Patterson | ||
| 1a2f47a | Some people are not just afraid of snakes, they're phobic. The technical term for a snake phobia is ophidiophobia, and people who have it dream of snakes, see snakes under every rock or rumple in the carpet, and freak out when they see snakes on TV. | James Patterson | ||
| 54a4094 | I made a pleasant discovery. You work hard at something eight hours a day, you get better. Not a lot better necessarily, but a little better, and that's just fine, because improving at golf, or anything else probably, is just a matter of making an endless series of tiny improvements. | improvement inspirational | James Patterson | |
| afacc09 | it's really great to be back in front of an audience again. | James Patterson | ||
| 36fa489 | The Graduate, an Oscar-winning movie that appeared in late 1967, dramatized these changes. It featured a young man (Dustin Hoffman) who was in no way a hippie, a user of drugs, or a political radical. But he seemed unconnected to traditional values. Alienated from many things, he felt no kinship with fraternity men at his university or with materialistic adults of the older generation. | James T. Patterson | ||
| 72f6ecf | A little while back, I won a couple of contests and was crowned the Funniest Kid Comic in all of New York. Not just New York City, but the whole state! | James Patterson | ||
| 9ab9e09 | Now I have a shot at being the Planet's Funniest Kid Comic. "The planet Earth?" asks Phineas of--you guessed it--Phineas and Ferb. "Or Mars? We built a portal to Mars for the science fair once." | James Patterson | ||

| 595cbec | Stevie Kosgrov recently enjoyed a bowl of Fruity Pebbles (with milk that had hit its expiration date, oh, maybe a month ago). | James Patterson | ||
| 0286b03 | Jacob didn't say "Seize the day," he said "Seize what's been handed you." Make smart decisions. Make decisions because--he said it again--life is a temporary situation." -- | James Patterson | ||
| 682cb7b | There is truth in dreams, but especially in nightmares. | James Patterson | ||

| cef4d43 | He gave me a warm smile, and I blinked, realizing he was cute. I'd never really had the luxury of noticing cuteness or lack thereof in guys. Mostly it was the lethal/nonlethal distinction that I went with | cute-guys irony max | James Patterson | |
| d2aa62d | What was premeditated murder if not calculated leverage? | James Patterson | ||
| cc41616 | Anger, hatred, and bitterness are lethal poisons. They cause a slow, painful emotional death that only you suffer. Self-destruction will never defeat an enemy or create justice. | bitterness guilt hatred self-destruction | James Patterson |
