Book Culture Quotes

Comic book heroes are an important part of our culture Picture Quote #1

Japan, Germany, and India seem to me to have serious writers, readers, and book buyers, but the Netherlands has struck me as the most robust literary culture in the world Picture Quote #1

Do not, under any circumstances, put this book down and turn on the teevee.The teevee debilitates our culture Picture Quote #1

Whenever you’re writing a book or creating a movie or a game, your first task is to get the reader/audience/player to suspend disbelief, to buy into the logic and boundaries of your world, even though those boundaries might include things like dragons and magic. To do that, you need long threads - of history and culture Picture Quote #1

A good part of ‘The Information’ is about the transition from an oral to a literary culture. Books effected such a great transformation in the way we think about the world, our history, our logic, mathematics, you name it. I think we would be greatly diminished as a people and as a culture if the book became obsolete Picture Quote #1

I read the Steve Jobs book, and that kind of changed everything. I’ve been, like, an Apple geek my whole life and have always seen him as a hero. But reading the book, and learning about how he built the company, and maintaining that corporate culture and all that, I think that influenced me a lot Picture Quote #1

Books give us insight into other people, other cultures. They make us laugh. They make us think. If they are really good, they make us believe that we are better for having read them. You don’t read a book - you experience it. Every story opens up a new world Picture Quote #1

The new book is a result of my well-documented... absorption in Samurai movie culture. It’s called ‘The 47th Samurai: A Bob Lee Swagger novel,’ and it takes Bob to Japan in search of the sword his father recovered on Iwo that has gone missing under extremely violent circumstances Picture Quote #1

I think our culture has gotten so skewed. People assume that because you’re an actor you want to write a book to exploit your celebrity, but my celebrity is only a byproduct of me making movies. I have no intention of being a celebrity Picture Quote #1

Today we read books ‘extensively,’ often without sustained focus, and with rare exceptions we read each book only once. We value quantity of reading over quality of reading. We have no choice, if we want to keep up with the broader culture Picture Quote #1

Our culture constantly inundates us with new information, and yet our brains capture so little of it. I can spend half a dozen hours reading a book and then have only a foggy notion of what it was about Picture Quote #1

Of course it is very limiting to be labeled a lesbian or queer writer. We live in a homophobic culture, and even people who aren’t hateful per se assume they won’t get anything from a queer book Picture Quote #1

Ours is a culture that dances on the edge of ephemerality. If our servers slept for too long or if we left our iPads unplugged for too long, we’d wake up like Rip Van Winkle to find all of our book culture erased Picture Quote #1

I’m not really all that familiar with comic book culture. Not because I’m such a high brow intellectual and bloody European. But it’s just something that I was never into. Not because of any superiority. I don’t know why Picture Quote #1

I do think that hip-hop has a relationship with comic book culture, and Kung Fu movies too, for that matter Picture Quote #1

Students are very gullible about the web. The only way you can really sort out information on the web is if you’ve had a prior training in book culture Picture Quote #1

Out of Africa,’ Dinesen’s second book, is a love story, though not the one portrayed by Streep and Redford in the film. The memoir is about Dinesen’s love of East Africa - the cultures, the landscapes, the animals. The feeling that saturates the book is reverence Picture Quote #1

Early on my career, I figured out that I just have to write the book I have to write at that moment. Whatever else is going on in the culture is just not that important. If you could get the culture to write your book, that would be great. But the culture can’t write your book Picture Quote #1

I think most Native American literature is unreadable by the vast majority of Native Americans. Generally speaking Indians don’t read books. It’s not a book culture. That’s why I’m trying to make movies. Indians go to movies; Indians own video recorders Picture Quote #1

If you write chick lit, and if you’re a New Yorker, and if your book becomes the topic of pop-culture fascination, the paper might make dismissive and ignorant mention of your book. If you write romance, forget about it. You’ll be lucky if they spell your name right on the bestseller list Picture Quote #1

Basically the message is: Steal It! Art, music, culture, the odd book and the slab of cheese... the new will be built upon the ruins of the old Picture Quote #1

In my book I don’t just demonstrate that free enterprise is the most efficient way of organizing an economy - which it is. I also show that it’s an expression of American values, and, thus, that a fight for free enterprise is very much a fight for our culture Picture Quote #1

I’m not really all that familiar with comic book culture Picture Quote #1

I really want to do a book on the history of the no-wave music scene in New York, how it extended out and formed lots of other things. It was such a great visual culture Picture Quote #1
