Book Quotes

I stole comic books from my brother when I was a kid, but I was never like an avid fan. I can’t claim to be like a comic book geek Picture Quote #1

The ability to absorb a book and make someone else’s words and story your own was exactly was I was doing on stage Picture Quote #1

As a reader, I notice political views regardless of whether or not the book is fiction. What annoys me is when said views do nothing to advance the narrative Picture Quote #1

Really, when I write a book I’m the only one I have to please. That’s the beauty of writing a book instead of a screenplay Picture Quote #1

To me, a book is a book, an electronic device is not, and love of books was the reason I started writing Picture Quote #1

For myself, the only way I know how to make a book is to construct it like a collage: a bit of dialogue here, a scrap of narrative, an isolated description of a common object, an elaborate running metaphor which threads between the sequences and holds different narrative lines together Picture Quote #1

I once stole a book. It was really just the once, and at the time I called it borrowing. It was 1970, and the book, I could see by its lack of date stamps, had been lying unappreciated on the shelves of my convent school library since its publication in 1945 Picture Quote #1

Though I have never thought of myself as a book collector, there are shelves in our house browsed so often, on so many rainy winter nights, that the contents have seeped into me as if by osmosis Picture Quote #1

Don’t worry about writing a book or getting famous or making money. Just lead an interesting life Picture Quote #1

I think there’s something about studying a book which will kill it if you’re not careful Picture Quote #1

Fifty percent of all meaningful education takes place in the home. What do you share with your child? You share your interests. I was a book person. I read with my son. My wife is an artist. She dragged his little butt around to museums. He’s an illustrator of children’s books Picture Quote #1

If you are making a script based on a book it can be frustrating going back to the source novel, because you’re turning the story into a totally different thing; the narrative of film is different from that of a book Picture Quote #1

A book suggests a whole world and story that I could have never thought of in a million years Picture Quote #1

My philosophy is that I’m an artist. I perform an art not with a paint brush or a camera. I perform with bodily movement. Instead of exhibiting my art in a museum or a book or on canvas, I exhibit my art in front of the multitudes Picture Quote #1

Any time women come together with a collective intention, it’s a powerful thing. Whether it’s sitting down making a quilt, in a kitchen preparing a meal, in a club reading the same book, or around the table playing cards, or planning a birthday party, when women come together with a collective intention, magic happens Picture Quote #1

If it’s a good work of adaptation, the book should remain a book and the film should remain a film, and you should not necessarily read the book to see the film. If you do need that, then that means that it’s a failure. That is what I think Picture Quote #1

An interesting thing about book groups, it seems to me, is that there is no correlation between a brilliant book and a brilliant discussion. The first seems sometimes even to undermine the second Picture Quote #1

I don’t think anyone should be banned. If you don’t like a book, set it aside Picture Quote #1

I just want to stay in my hotel room, read my book. I enjoy that private time Picture Quote #1

Every beginning is only a sequel, after all, and the book of events is always open halfway through Picture Quote #1

A book store is a treasure chest. Every time you walk in one, you strike gold Picture Quote #1

When you write a book, you are asking someone to make an investment in their time and money. A column can come and go as the weeks pass, but a book needs to be timeless Picture Quote #1

A tablet replacing an exercise book is not innovation, it’s just a different way to make notes Picture Quote #1

A book and a movie are different animals. You need a cinematic perspective to be involved in the motion pictures. And this is something I lack Picture Quote #1

I was passionate about reading from an early age, and I would always be carrying a different book each week Picture Quote #1

I think you can get a sort of intensity and an edginess offering nine stories in a book. Competing versions of things Picture Quote #1

It is important to find a publisher and equally important not to be noticed until your third or fourth book Picture Quote #1

When a book comes from the publisher and you see it for the first time... Of course it’s not remotely like seeing a baby for the first time, but I can remember with each book what room I was in when I opened it. That would be excitement, though, I think. Not pride Picture Quote #1
