Book Quotes

My idea of a delicious time is to read a book that is wonderful. But the ruling passion of my life is being a seeker after truth and the divine Picture Quote #1

A new acquaintance is like a new book. I prefer it, even if bad, to a classic Picture Quote #1

If you feel the urge to write, just lie down and read a book: it will pass Picture Quote #1

Life is a book that never ends. Chapters close, but not the book itself. The end of one physical incarnation is like the end of a chapter, on some level setting up the beginning of another Picture Quote #1

I get a thick book full of death, destruction, strife, and chaos. That’s what I take with my morning tea Picture Quote #1

I would advise you to read with a pen in your hand and enter in a little book short hints of what you feel that is common or that may be useful; for this will be the best method of imprinting such portcullis in your memory Picture Quote #1

For each book, I do end up making a kind of playlist to fit the characters Picture Quote #1

Over the holidays, and even during filming, I realized that I actually like my body, even if it’s not perfect according to the book. I just feel sexy. For the first time, I don’t want to get rid of the curves. I just want to tone it up. My body is comfortable, and it’s not unhealthy, so I’m going to rock with it Picture Quote #1

Writing a book is an adventure. To begin with it is a toy and an amusement. Then it becomes a mistress, then it becomes a master, then it becomes a tyrant. The last phase is that just as you are about to be reconciled to your servitude, you kill the monster and fling him to the public Picture Quote #1

I think every professor and writer is in some way an exhibitionist because his or her normal activity is a theatrical one. When you give a lesson the situation is the same as writing a book. You have to capture the attention, the complicity of your audience Picture Quote #1

For most people, what is so painful about reading is that you read something and you don’t have anybody to share it with. In part what the book club opens up is that people can read a book and then have someone else to talk about it with. Then they see that a book can lead to the pleasure of conversation, that the solitary act of reading can actually be a part of the path to communion and community Picture Quote #1

Reading alters the appearance of a book. Once it has been read, it never looks the same again, and people leave their individual imprint on a book they have read. Once of the pleasures of reading is seeing this alteration on the pages, and the way, by reading it, you have made the book yours Picture Quote #1

If the book is good, is about something that you know, and is truly written, and reading it over you see that this is so, you can let the boys yip and the noise will have that pleasant sound coyotes make on a very cold night when they are out in the snow and you are in your own cabin that you have built or paid for with your work Picture Quote #1

Then one day I read about a book that said that the church is the only army that shoots its wounded Picture Quote #1

He used to say that no book was so bad but that some good might be got out of it Picture Quote #1

It seemed to me that I had no right to burn a book I hadn’t even read Picture Quote #1

If we think every word in every holy book is true, then we have created an idol Picture Quote #1

You read a book from beginning to end. You run a business the opposite way. You start with the end, and then you do everything you must to reach it Picture Quote #1

The best way to become acquainted with a subject is to write a book about it Picture Quote #1

That ephemeral sheet,... The newspaper, is the natural enemy of the book, as the whore is of the decent woman Picture Quote #1

There are plenty of bad editors who try to impose their own vision on a book Picture Quote #1

The drawing shows me at a glance what would be spread over ten pages in a book Picture Quote #1

A successful book is not made of what is in it, but of what is left out of it Picture Quote #1

That ephemeral sheet of paper, the newspaper, is the natural enemy of the book, as the whore is of the decent woman Picture Quote #1

The last thing one settles in writing a book is what one should put in first Picture Quote #1

He gets at the substance of a book directly; he tears out the heart of it Picture Quote #1

Rather than turning the page, it’s much easier to just throw the book away Picture Quote #1

Every word you wrote I ate, as if it were manna. Finding one’s self in a book is a second birth; and you are the only one who knows that at times men behave like women and women like men, and that all these distinctions are mock distinctions Picture Quote #1

When you publish a book, it’s the world’s book. The world edits it Picture Quote #1

I really have reached a point where I can write a book about all of this Picture Quote #1
