Book Quotes

Then what shall I write? I can’t just write that this happened then this happened then this happened to boring infinitum. I’ll let my journal grow just like the mind does, just like a tree or beast does, just like life does. Why should a book tell a tale in a dull straight line? Words should wander and meander. They should fly like owls and flicker like bats and slip like cats. They should murmur and scream and dance and sing Picture Quote #1

You can put down a bad book; you can avoid listening to bad music; but you cannot miss the ugly tower block opposite your house Picture Quote #1

A definition is death. A definition is the answer to which you must look up the question in the back of your book Picture Quote #1

Where is the book in which the teacher can read about what teaching is? The children themselves are this book. We should not learn to teach out of any book other than the one lying open before us and consisting of the children themselves Picture Quote #1

When I read it, I don’t wince, which is all I ever ask for a book I write Picture Quote #1

Every creature in the world is like a book and a picture and a mirror for us Picture Quote #1

As I write in my book, there is a misnomer that destroying another person’s position is an effective and practical way to negotiate Picture Quote #1

Don’t sell yourself short. No one will value you. Set a fair price for you, your book, your services, whatever it is that you have to offer. Most of us set way too low a price. Put it a little higher than you would normally be inclined to do. The worst that can happen is someone will come along and steal it Picture Quote #1

You don’t have to gaze into a crystal ball when you can read an open book Picture Quote #1

Whoever is able to write a book and does not, it is as if he has lost a child Picture Quote #1

We invest less in our friendships and expect more of friends than any other relationship. We spend days working out where to book for a romantic dinner, weeks wondering how to celebrate a partner or parent’s birthday, and seconds forgetting a friend’s important anniversary Picture Quote #1

It’s scary to make major changes, but we usually have enough courage to take the next right step. One small step and then another. That’s what it takes to raise a child, to get a degree, to write a book, to do whatever it is your heart desires Picture Quote #1

My eye is fixed not on the ending of the book but on the feeling of that ending Picture Quote #1

I’m quite a slow reader. It can take me quite a while to get though a book Picture Quote #1

I have stared long enough at the glowing flat rectangles of computer screens. Let us give more time for doing things in the real world... plant a plant, walk the dogs, read a real book, go to the opera Picture Quote #1

No matter where I am in the world or what’s on my schedule, I begin each day by reading an inspirational book and then meditating and praying. I adopted this healthy habit many years ago to ensure that my first thoughts of the day were positive Picture Quote #1

Here’s what I mean by the miracle of language. When you’re falling into a good book, exactly as you might fall into a dream, a little conduit opens, a passageway between a reader’s heart and a writer’s, a connection that transcends the barriers of continents and generations and even death... And here’s the magic. You’re different. You can never go back to being exactly the same person you were before you disappeared into that book Picture Quote #1

There’s so much more to the book than the page you were stuck on Picture Quote #1

My idea of rich is that you can buy every book you ever want without looking at the price and you’re never around assholes. That’s the two things to really fight for in life Picture Quote #1

Book after book, I get hooked, every time the writer talks to me like a friend Picture Quote #1

Theatre is poetry that rises from the book and becomes human enough to talk and shout, weep and despair Picture Quote #1

Having a dog or cat will open your heart. Reading a book will open your mind. Having both a pet and a book... absolute heaven Picture Quote #1

Two forces are succesfully influencing the education of a cultivated man: art and science. Both are united in the book Picture Quote #1

Now everything was changed. She walked about with cautious, anxious steps, staring constantly at the ground, on the lookout for things that crept and crawled. Bushes were dangerous, and so were sea grass and rain water. There were little animals everywhere. They could turn up between the covers of a book, flattened and dead, for the fact is that creeping animals, tattered animals, and dead animals are with us all our lives, from beginning to end. Grandmother tried to discuss this with her, to no avail. Irrational terror is so hard to deal with Picture Quote #1

When a book is alive, really alive, you feel it. You put it to your ear here, and you feel it breathe, sometimes laugh, sometimes cry, just like a person, a little person Picture Quote #1

You have to be careful not to use anything too colloquial or you date the book Picture Quote #1

When I start any book, I have no idea what I’m going to do Picture Quote #1

I had no idea how complicated and solitary it could be to write a simple book Picture Quote #1

I’ve been a book collector since I was young, since I was a kid Picture Quote #1

It isn’t much of a book of quotations if I am not in it Picture Quote #1
