The top 10 most inspiring quotes by Rick Riordan
- My goal in the classroom was always to make sure they were having so much fun that they didn’t realize they were learning.
- It’s not easy. I got lots of rejections when I first started out. If you want to write, you have to believe in yourself and not give up. You have to do your best to practice and get better.
- I think the more you understand myths, the more you understand the roots of our culture and the more things will resonate. Do you have to know them? No, but certainly it is nice to recognise how deeply these things are embedded in our literature, our art.
- The older I get, the less I obsess about material stuff. In fact, stuff has become the enemy. There always seems to be more of it than I have storage in my house!
- I think that kids have a greater capacity for processing things than we give them credit for.
- I wrote for 10 years before I even started the ‘Percy Jackson’ series.
- You have to work hard to get to the top of your game. I think every writer has doubts! I still do all the time.
- I can’t promise that every child with learning differences will become a novelist, but I do think all children can become lifelong readers.
- Every child is different. I think it’s important that we don’t have maybe just one or two books that we’re recommending to all children – but rather we cater the books to fit each individual child.
- For me, writing for kids is harder because they’re a more discriminating audience. While adults might stay with you, if you lose your pacing or if you have pages of extraneous description, a kid’s not going to do that. They will drop the book.
