James Patterson cytaty

strona 5

„Jeśli potrafisz śmiać się z czegoś, co ci się przydarzyło, po upływie czasu, to znaczy, że potrafisz śmiać się od razu.”

„Dzisiaj kocham Cię jeszcze bardziej niż wczoraj, a nie możesz sobie nawet wyobrazić, jak bardzo kochałem Cię wczoraj.”

„Prawdziwa miłość bywa tylko wtedy, gdy masz kogoś, z kim możesz przegadać całą noc, aż do białego rana.”

„Mali Amerykanie cierpią na nadmiar matki i niedobór ojca.”

„Proszę, nie zamykaj serca na miłość, bo to największy skarb.”

„Przeżywaj każdy dzień od chwili, kiedy słońce wstanie, dopóki nie opadną ci powieki.”

„Wyobraź sobie, że życie jest grą, podczas której żonglujesz pięcioma piłeczkami. Są to: praca, rodzina, zdrowie, przyjaciele i uczciwość. Przez cały czas starasz się utrzymać je wszystkie w powietrzu. Nagle pewnego dnia dochodzisz do wniosku, że praca to piłka z gumy. Nawet jeżeli ją upuścisz odbije się i wróci. Pozostałe cztery to: rodzina, zdrowie, przyjaciele i uczciwość – zostały wykonane ze szkła. Gdy któraś z nich wypadnie, nieodwracalnie porysuje się, pęknie – lub co gorsza – może się nawet zbić.”

„Kieł, Kieł, Kieł – zamruczałam, zdjęta ucziciem.
– Kocham cię. Taaak cię kooocham. – usiłowałam rozłożyć ręcę, żeby pokazać jak bardzo, ale nie mogłam nimi poruszyć.”

„Lęk budzi dziwną radość i uniesienie.”

„Nie ufaj nikomu. Wal przebojem po swoje.”

„Pieniądze zawsze potrafiły rozwiązywać języki, nawet najbardziej opornym, zwłaszcza jeśli byli pomijani przy podwyżkach i awansach.”

„Powiedzmy tylko, że gdyby ci naukowcy wykorzystali swój geniusz w sprawie dobra, a nie zła, samochody jeździłyby na parę i zostawiały świeży kompost, nikt by nie chorował, nie byłoby głodu, wszystkie budynki stałyby się odporne na trzęsienia ziemi, bomby i powodzie, a cała światowa gospodarka przeszłaby radykalną zmianę i środkiem płatniczym byłaby czekolada.”

“Gazzy, man, jeezum!" Fang exclaimed. "What the heck have you been eating for God's sake?"
That was a smoke bomb!" Gazzy defended himself. "Not even i could fill this whole flippin' house!”

“After all, Fnick is Superman," said Iggy.
"Shut up, Jeff," I said, but I was smiling. I lifted Iggy's fingers to my face so that he knew.”

“It's going to give you nightmares for the rest of your wasted life."
Oh, my God, I was so badass. It was all I could do not to give a”

“I led the way toward the crowd, trying to look casual, like, Fly? Me? Nah.”

“Iggy: Now what? Who you gonna call?
A quiet voice in the hallway outside: Ghostbusters!
(Captain Perry and John groan)
John: That phrase is ruined forever.”

“I want to be able to see stuff," Iggy said. "Like I used to, when I was little. And I want to be able to totally kick Jeb's butt.”

“Is dere anysing special about you? Anysing vorth saving?"

Besides my fashion sense? I play a mean harmonica.”

“Disappear where?" You know what they say: Curiosity killed the mutant bird kid. But I couldn't help myself.”

“Men suck, even imaginary ones”

“Listen, street punk. You're a guy, and you're a couple inches taller, and maybe forty pounds heavier, and ooh, you're in a gang. But I've survived ten years of Catholic school, and I will cut you off at your knees without a blink. Do you understand?”

“Uh-huh," I said. "Because all you mad, evil scientists sit around whipping up batches of Pillsbury's finest during your coffee breaks. I mean, this is pathetic.”

“You love him so much it feels like you can't go on without him. You feel like you might die without him.”

“What, eBay isn't good enough for us?”

“The house was on fire," i greeted them tersely. "In case you're interested."
they both glanced up overhead as if to make sure the house was still standing. Fang sniffed, smelling the smoke.
It's out, right?" he said”

“I need wings," said Total, still sniffling. "I need mywings. Then things like that wouldn't happen."
Yeah, that was all I needed. Atalking mutant dog.”

“I love you. I love your smile, your snarl, your grin, your face when you're sleeping.”

“When are you going to trust me Max?" asked Fang.
"When I go completely bonkers," I laughed.”

“Yeah, you're sitting in a tree because you're. That's easy to see. I can't believe this is, destroyer of despots, warrior hottie, leader of the flock! All you need now to make yourself more pathetic is a pint of Ben and Jerry's ice cream!”

“It was the building from the drawing in my brain.
And if you don’t think that’s a weird sentence, maybe you should reread it.”

“I'm gonna barf," I whispered to Fang, wiping my sweaty hands on my jeans.
You'll be fine," he whipered back. "You always are.
I'm gonna die," I moaned.
You can't die," he said a hint of a smile in his voice."You're the indesructible Max.”

“Don’t be afraid.”
“I hear voices,” Iggy said. “Be very afraid.”

“Did I want a dog? No. Did I need a dog? Also no. We were six kids running for our lives, not knowing where our next meal was coming from. Could we afford to feed a dog? Wait for it—no.”

“I shot him the bird. (Get it? I shot him the—never mind.)”

“Sometimes he seems like a droid--or a drone. Fang of Nine. Fang2-D2.”

“Max?” said the Gasman. “Are those, um, rats?”
Lovely. “Yes, those do appear to be either rats or mice on steroids,” I said briskly, trying not to shriek and climb the walls like a girly-girl.”

“Excuse me? I'm alive too.”

“What did that stupid deserting crap-bag ex-boyfriend, ex-best friend with the most perfect stupid hair do? He DIDN'T delete his crap off the desktop before he fled my life and left me all alone. That's what he did.”

“I recommend you stick to your own species, Shy Babe." p. 155”

“I don't care if we have our house, or a cliff ledge, or a cardboard box. Home is wherever we all are, together”
