Book Quotes

For explanations, they did not look in the pages of the visitor’s book to see if others likewise found that ghostly happenings abound Picture Quote #1

Libraries are the future of reading. When the economy is down, we need to make it easier for people to buy and read books for free, not harder. It is stupid to sacrifice tomorrow’s book buyers for today’s dollars, especially when it’s obvious that the source in question doesn’t have any more dollars to give you Picture Quote #1

Dance is low on the totem pole of the arts, because you’re not left with a painting... a book that will stay there, a score you can read Picture Quote #1

I would much rather be known as the mother of a great son than the author of a great book or the painter of a great masterpiece 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

This building is like a book. Its architecture is the binding, its text is in the glass and sculpture Picture Quote #1

Putting a computer in front of a child and expecting it to teach him is like putting a book under his pillow, only more expensive Picture Quote #1

I have often wondered how anyone who does not read, by which I mean daily, having some book going all the time, can make it through life. Indeed if I were required to make a sharp division in the very nature of people, I would be tempted to make it there: readers and nonreaders of books... It is astonishing how the presence or absence of this habit so consistently characterizes an individual in other respects; it is as though it were a kind of barometer of temperament, of personality, even of character. Aside from that, for me it constituted something like sanity insurance Picture Quote #1

... there is no doubt something will be done sooner or later to enable us to put on a house every day, just as we put on clothes or choose a book to read or a theater to go to, like choosing a day to be lived, within the limits grated by other destinies or chances Picture Quote #1

I have not given any drawn or lost games, because I thought them inadequate to the purpose of the book Picture Quote #1

Often you will find the opposite situation. The author seems to have interesting ideas, but he is not able to illustrate them with decent examples. If a grandmaster is commenting on one of his own games, then there is usually not any problem: his general thoughts are closely tied up with what is happening on the board. But as soon as he starts writing an article or book on a different theme the difficulties begin, as he may not have suitable material to hand 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

I love scrapbooks. They are one of the finest ways of dejunking life and abode... A good scrapbook is interesting and inspiring even to the stranger... Well put together scrapbooks and photo albums have warmed more hearts than any bound book... Without a good scrapbook, much that’s memorable in life is forgotten or damaged or lost Picture Quote #1

Of all the weapons discussed in this book, nothing is more important than your primary firearm. Keep it cleaned, keep it oiled, keep it loaded, keep it close. With a cool head, steady hand, and plenty of ammunition, one human is more than a match for an army of zombies Picture Quote #1

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

If you don’t want to cry about the state of the economy, why not laugh instead? This book is an ideal introduction to the subject for anybody who thinks they ought to understand what’s happening around them but is put off by the usual dense text and economics jargon Picture Quote #1

The two things I enjoy the most about writing are the first page of a book and the last. What’s in between is very hard work Picture Quote #1

If you are a gamer, it’s time to get over any regret you might feel about spending so much time playing games. You have not been wasting your time. You have been building up a wealth of virtual experience that, as the first half of this book will show you, can teach you about your true self: what your core strengths are, what really motivates you, and what make you happiest Picture Quote #1

A good book... leaves you wanting to reread the book. A great book compels you to reread your own soul Picture Quote #1

Destroying species is like tearing pages out of an unread book, written in a language humans hardly know how to read, about the place where they live Picture Quote #1

If I was writing a lifestyle book it would have the same advice on every page, and you’d know it all already. Eat lots of fruit and vegetables, and live your whole life in every way as well as you can: exercise regularly as part of your daily routine, avoid obesity, don’t drink too much, don’t smoke, and don’t get distracted from the real, basic, simple causes of ill health. But as we will see, even these things are hard to do on your own, and in reality require wholesale social and political changes Picture Quote #1

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

Not write what you know, but know what you write. If you write about a world before, after, or other than this one, enter that world completely. Search it to find your deepest longings and most terrible fears. Let imagination carry you as far as it may, as long as you recount the voyage with excitement and wonder. But this is the most important rule: write the book you most long to read Picture Quote #1

I have never met an author who was sorry he or she wrote a book. They are only sorry they did not write it sooner Picture Quote #1

Your people smarts will prove ten times more valuable than all the book smarts you can’t get Picture Quote #1

A book does not discriminate against any reader. All are welcome at the table of literature 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

I am working on a book urging the beating to death of baby whales using the dead bodies of baby seals Picture Quote #1

The art of injudicious reading, the art of miscellaneous reading which every normal man ought to cultivate, is a very fine and satisfactory art; for the best guide to books is a book itself. It clasps hands with a thousand other books Picture Quote #1
