Book Quotes

At what price do we get our news? The role of economics in defining the nature of contemporary journalism has never been better explained. A valuable, important book for those of us who watch, read, or listen to the news Picture Quote #1

I’d much rather have a book that a few people love intensely than a book that a lot of people like okay Picture Quote #1

A book is a private thing, citizen; it belongs to the one who writes it and to the one who reads it. Like the mind itself, a book is a private space. Within that space, anything is possible. The greatest evil and the greatest good Picture Quote #1

If anything has changed about my reading over the years, it is that I value the state a book puts me in more that I value the specific contents Picture Quote #1

I spend my nights just sitting and reading a book and drinking my tea and walking my dog. That’s about as exciting as my life gets Picture Quote #1

In life, when you are faced with an unfortunate circumstance, there’s no book, there’s no guide, there’s no right answer on how to get to the other side. You just sort of wake up one day and you have two paths in front of you, one where you go up and one where you can fall, and choosing the path to rise is most certainly not the easy path but it’s the brave one Picture Quote #1

I’ve been really lucky to get on shows that stay on. It’s one thing to book a show, and it’s like winning the lottery again to have it picked up, and then again to have the show stay on the air Picture Quote #1

I either write the book or sell the jewels. And I’m kinda sentimental about the jewels Picture Quote #1

When you read a book as a child, it becomes a part of your identity in a way that no other reading in your whole life does Picture Quote #1

I think you’re never the same person when you close a book as when you open one; it changes your life very subtly Picture Quote #1

Books have always been living things to me. Some of my encounters with new authors have changed my life a little. When I have been perplexed, looking for something I could not define to myself, a certain book has turned up, approached me as a friend would. And between it’s cover carried the questions and the answers I was looking for Picture Quote #1

In the book, I tell the story of seeing old movies when I was young and acting out scenes at home. Now I get scripts, and I act them out Picture Quote #1

With the story of your life, you don’t get to write the whole book, just your character Picture Quote #1

Cooking is great, love is grand, but souffles fall and lovers come and go. But you can always depend on a book! Picture Quote #1

I would say I’m an inspirational guidelines book. You can take my life story or scenarios or songs and relate to them and apply them to your everyday life Picture Quote #1

Playing a flute is like writing a book. You’re telling what’s in your heart... It’s easier to play if it’s right from your heart. You get the tone, and the fingers will follow Picture Quote #1

And if I really can see the future, then what does it mean? Is there any sense in our lives if everything is already out there, just waiting to happen? For if that were so, then life would be a horrible monster indeed, with no chance of escape from fate, from destiny. It would be like reading a book, but reading it backwards, from the final chapter down to chapter one, so that the end is already known to you Picture Quote #1

Writers shouldn’t fall in love with their characters so much that they lose sight of what they’re trying to accomplish. The idea is to write a whole story, a whole book. A writer has to be able to look at that story and see whether or not a character works, whether or not a character needs further definition Picture Quote #1

A book is kind because its pages let us know when it is coming to an end Picture Quote #1

Were I to write what I know, the book would be too sensational to print, but were I to write what I think proper, it would be too dull to read Picture Quote #1

The book, that stubbornly unelectric artifact of pure typography, possesses resources conducive to the flourishing of the soul. A thoughtful reading of the printed text orients one to a world of order, meaning, and the possibility of knowing truth Picture Quote #1

Every story is flawed, every story is subject to change. Even after it is set down to print, between covers of a book, a story is not immune to alteration. People can go on telling it in their own way, remembering it the way they want. And in each telling the ending may change, or even the beginning. Inevitably, in some cases it will be worse, and in others it just might be better. A story, after all, does not only belong to the one who is telling it. It belongs, in equal measure, to the one who is listening Picture Quote #1

What a feat of transmission: the emotive powers of the book, with no local habitation, pass safely from writer to reader, unmangled by printing and binding and shipping, renewed and available whenever we open it Picture Quote #1

The images in a picture book are the driving forces that tell the story. The words tell only what the pictures can’t Picture Quote #1

It’s always a better choice to write a new book than it is to keep pounding your head against the submissions wall with a book that’s just not happening. The next book you write could be the book, the one that isn’t a fight to get representation for at all Picture Quote #1

There are two motives for reading a book; one, that you enjoy it; the other, that you can boast about it Picture Quote #1

I should write a book. I’ve always wanted to write a book. I should write a book about kids who see dead people Picture Quote #1

A woman’s destiny, they say, is not fulfilled until she holds in her arms her own little book Picture Quote #1

The art of reading is the art of adopting the pace the author has set. Some books are fast and some are slow, but no book can be understood if it is taken at the wrong speed Picture Quote #1

A book should either allow us to escape existence or teach us how to endure it Picture Quote #1
