“If only, if only," the woodpecker sighs,"The bark on the tree was as soft as the skies."While the wolf waits below, hungry and lonely,Crying to the moo-oo-oon,"If only, If only.”

“I'm not saying it's going to be easy. Nothing in life is easy. But that's no reason to give up. You'll be surprised what you can accomplish if you set your mind to it. After all, you only have one life, so you should try to make the most of it.” ― Louis Sachar
“You need a reason to be sad. You don't need a reason to be happy.” ― Louis Sachar, Sideways Stories from Wayside School
“It is better to take many small steps in the right direction than to make a great leap forward only to stumble backward.” ― Louis Sachar
“It was all because of his no-good-dirty-rotten-pig-stealing great-great-grandfather!” ― Louis Sachar, Holes
“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” ― Louis Sachar, Holes
“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.” ― Louis Sachar
“Rattlesnakes would be a lot more dangerous if they didn't have the rattle.” ― Louis Sachar, Holes
“But don't forget who you really are. And I'm not talking about your so-called real name. All names are made up by someone else, even the one your parents gave you. You know who you really are. When you're alone at night, looking up at the stars, or maybe lying in your bed in total darkness, you know that nameless person inside you. Your life is about to be ripped apart. You will be turned into a digging machine. Your muscles will toughen. So will your heart and soul. That's necessary for survival. But don't lose touch with that person deep inside you, or else you won't really have survived at all.” ― Louis Sachar, Stanley Yelnats' Survival Guide to Camp Green Lake
“There is no lake at Camp Green Lake.” ― Louis Sachar, Holes
“When you spend your whole life living in a hole, the only way you can go is up. (Zero/Hector Zeroni)” ― Louis Sachar, Holes
“The best morals kids get from any book is just the capacity to empathize with other people, to care about the characters and their feelings. So you don't have to write a preachy book to do that. You just have to make it a fun book with characters they care about, and they will become better people as a result.” ― Louis Sachar
“You have only one life, make the most of it” ― Louis Sachar, Holes
“You make the decision: Whom did God punish?” ― Louis Sachar, Holes
“I hope I remember everything," said Toni."You won't," said Trapp. "That's how you learn. But after you make the same mistake one, or two, or five times, you'll eventually get it. And then you'll make new mistakes.” ― Louis Sachar, The Cardturner: A Novel about a King, a Queen, and a Joker
“Zero wasnt worried, " When you spend your whole life living in a shole", he said, "the only way you can go is up.” ― Louis Sachar, Holes
“I'm not stupid. I know everybody thinks I am. I just don't like answering their questions.” ― louis sachar, Holes
“But I'm taking small steps'Cause I don't know where I'm goingI'm taking small steps And I don't know what to say.Small steps,Trying to pull myself togetherAnd maybe I'll discoverA clue along the way!” ― Louis Sachar, Small Steps
“A lot of people don't believe in curses.A lot of people don't believe in yellow-spotted lizards either, but if one bites you, it doesn't make a difference whether you believe in it or not.” ― Louis Sachar, Holes
