Book Quotes

Every time I fall in love with a book, I just feel grateful and thrilled to have it in my life Picture Quote #1

I have served many long and lonely years aboard ship in war zones, and the only thing that kept me sane during all that enforced loneliness was my access to a good library in which I read, literally, every book on the shelves, even textbooks, and which gave me access to other worlds no way open to me Picture Quote #1

I hope to encourage more children to discover and love reading, but I want to focus particularly on the appreciation of picture books…. Picture books are for everybody at any age, not books to be left behind as we grow older. The best ones leave a tantalising gap between the pictures and the words, a gap that is filled by the reader’s imagination, adding so much to the excitement of reading a book Picture Quote #1

The writer has the advantage of a medium that can be contemplated many times over on the pages of a book or a magazine. The words lie on the page and the writer has an extended opportunity to imprint on his reader every meaning and nuance distilled from experience Picture Quote #1

To gain the book, one must give up all hope for the book. It is the only way the book can get written Picture Quote #1

Easy to read, yet filled with wisdom that will penetrate your heart, this book puts the power back in your hands. It’s a must have Picture Quote #1

There is a big difference between wanting to say you wrote a book, and actually writing one. Many people think they want to write, even though they find crafting sentences and paragraphs unpleasant. They hope there is a way to write without writing. I can tell you with certainty there isn’t one Picture Quote #1

Reading is sometimes thought of as a form of escapism, and it’s a common turn of phrase to speak of getting lost in a book. But a book can also be where one finds oneself; and when a reader is grasped and held by a book, reading does not feel like an escape from life so much as it feels like an urgent, crucial dimension of life itself Picture Quote #1

An immigration violation should not give the government license to rip up the rule book. By restricting judicial oversight and blocking public scrutiny, the government has exercised virtually unchecked power over those it has detained Picture Quote #1

No matter how many compromises were made along the way, no matter what happens in the future, a book is a thing to behold Picture Quote #1

You must know everything well before you can know what to discard. You must cover pages with material you will not finally put into the book. That doesn’t mean you don’t use it. It is still there, must be there, an invisible foundation which gives authority to the story. The planning done on setting is never wasted. Nothing is ever wasted. If it has been thought through and written, it is still there, in every word which does not mention it Picture Quote #1

You could never be certain what you would find in a book that had spent time with someone else Picture Quote #1

The probability of finding a particular book increases in relation to the clarity of the store’s focus, the diligence and shrewdness of the bookseller, and the size of the business Picture Quote #1

To write? Because all this is going to vanish. The only thing left will be the prose and poems, the books, what is written down. Man was very fortunate to have invented the book. Without it the past would completely vanish, and we would be left with nothing, we would be naked on earth Picture Quote #1

Treat your past as a book that you learn from instead of a hammer that you beat yourself up about 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

Sometimes a book isn’t a heartbreaking work of staggering genius. Sometimes it’s the only story you know how to tell Picture Quote #1

Librarians save lives by handing the right book at the right time to a kid in need Picture Quote #1

That’s the thing about a great book. Every time you read it, it’s different, because you’re different. You’ve changed since the last time you picked it up, things have happened to you Picture Quote #1

With all the things I know, one could write a book... Although, one might also say that, considering all that I don’t know, one could create a library Picture Quote #1

Occasionally, the book tells stories that would likely grate on senior management – but that is what free speech is all about Picture Quote #1

It may take a village to raise a baby, but hell! it takes an army to produce a book Picture Quote #1

A book can teach you, a conversation can assure you, a poem can seduce you, a genius can inspire you but only you can save yourself Picture Quote #1

The genome is a book that wrote itself, continually adding, deleting and amending over four billion years Picture Quote #1

I have always been reconciled to the fact that I was born a bibliomaniac, never have I sought a cure, and my dearest friends have been drawn from those likewise suffering from book madness Picture Quote #1

There isn’t an aspect of book creation I don’t enjoy, and there has always been a book in my life to dream about or work on Picture Quote #1

A book is a book only when it is read; otherwise it is a bundle of gathered sheets of soiled paper Picture Quote #1

From a business perspective, the question related to cities and sustainability is clear and compelling: can you have a healthy company in an unhealthy city? Arguably, no. Companies need healthy cities to provide reliable infrastructure, an educated and vital workforce, a vibrant economy, and a safe and secure environment to survive and thrive. Business executives have a lot to learn from cities, and a lot to contribute, and this book shows the way, chronicling the successes and the lessons learned about what it takes to make a city healthy, in every sense of the word Picture Quote #1

My opening line to my students, and a recurring theme in my classes, was that the big design problem isn’t designing a house for your parents or yourself, a museum, or a toaster, or a book, or whatever. The big design problem is designing your life. It’s by the design of your life that you create the backboard off which you bounce all your thoughts and ideas and creativity. You have to decide what it is that you want to do each day Picture Quote #1

If nobody talks about books, if they are not discussed or somehow contended with, literature ceases to be a conversation, ceases to be dynamic. Most of all, it ceases to be intimate. It degenerates into a monologue or a mutter. An unreviewed book is a struck bell that gives no resonance. Without reviews, literature would be oddly mute in spite of all those words on all those pages of all those books. Reviewing makes of reading a participant sport, not a spectator sport Picture Quote #1
