Book Quotes

I do reread, kind of obsessively, partly for the surprise of how the same book reads at a different point in life, and partly to have the sense of returning to an old friend Picture Quote #1

I’ve long come to the conclusion that when people say they can’t put a book down, they don’t mean they’re interested in what’s happening next; they mean they are so mesmerised by the writer’s voice and the relationship that has been established that they don’t want to break that. That’s what I feel when I read, and I’m sure now that that’s what’s going on in the relationship between the reader and the writing Picture Quote #1

He looked at the book, took my name, and consulted his records. Then he informed me I had been lost at sea and was dead. Under the circumstances, he could not possibly give me any money... Even the fact that he was dealing with someone who had been dead for several days failed to awaken interest in his official heart Picture Quote #1

No one should ever finish a book they’re not enjoying, no matter how popular or well reviewed the book is Picture Quote #1

I am not ambitious to appear a man of letters: I could be content the world should think I had scarce looked upon any other book than that of nature Picture Quote #1

One of the things I have come up against time and again in my career is the notion that because a book is easy to read it was somehow easy to write Picture Quote #1

Miracles is the sort of book that once you’ve read it you’ll wonder where it’s been all your life Picture Quote #1

People often ask me if I’m working on a book. That’s not how I feel. I feel like I work in a book. It’s like putting myself under a spell. And this spell, if you will, is so real to me that if I have to leave my work for a few days, I have to work myself back into the spell when I come back. It’s almost like hypnosis Picture Quote #1

Theatre is poetry that rises from the book and becomes human enough to talk and shout, weep and despair Picture Quote #1

Every drop of human blood contains a history book written in the language of our genes Picture Quote #1

A good solo is like a book. It will start out in a phrase, it will go on in paragraphs, and then it will have a great ending Picture Quote #1

In the book of things people more often do wrong than right, investing must certainly top the list, followed closely by wallpapering and eating artichokes Picture Quote #1

A good picture book can almost be whistled... All have their own melodies behind the storytelling Picture Quote #1

Illustrators are word people who happen to draw. We work with one foot in a book, the other stuck in a paint pot. Our shoes are a disgrace Picture Quote #1

Book sense makes sense because someone has gone through it before and able to share it with you. Your job is to listen and discern Picture Quote #1

There’s no need to get rid of literally hundreds of thousands of books that are fine simply because you have a problem with an isolated book or piece of literature that presents extremism Picture Quote #1

Art, a book, a painting, a song, can definitely inspire change, whether it’s a small change or a big change but you know there’s novels I’ve read or a scene in a film that I’ve seen where I definitely inspired something and made a change or addressed an issue in my life or done something cliche like make a phone call Picture Quote #1

If I have the option, I always read the paper or a book or something I can touch and destroy in my own hands Picture Quote #1

There is no reader so parochial as the one who reads none but this morning’s books. Books are not rolls, to be devoured only when they are hot and fresh. A good book retains its interior heat and will warm a generation yet unborn Picture Quote #1

I would say that, in the future, the book will be reserved for things that function best as a book. So, if I need a textbook that’s going to be out of date because of new technological inventions, you’re better off having it where you can download the supplements or the update Picture Quote #1

I lead a normal life and I don’t assume there is anything I can impart to people. The only reason to write a book would be to make money, and I don’t want to do that. To write a book would be going against how I’ve lived Picture Quote #1

A library’s function is to give the public in the quickest and cheapest way: information, inspiration, and recreation. If a better way than the book can be found, we should use it Picture Quote #1

Having a dog or cat will open your heart. Reading a book will open your mind. Having both a pet and a book... absolute heaven Picture Quote #1

There is a direct parallel in the way that we speak, with natural variations of pitch and volume that give full meaning to our words. This is what is missing in the words on the page of a book, and the notes on the score Picture Quote #1

When each one of us become an active and living book of lessons for those who see our examples, the boundaries of religious interpretation will give way to the new era of brotherhood and peace we’re waiting for Picture Quote #1

I’m gonna make sure everybody get their justice. This the year for business, this the year for my book, this the year for the movie and this the year for getting even. I’m on my way Picture Quote #1

I know exactly what I would do with immortality: I would read every book in the library Picture Quote #1

I think solitude is a really positive thing. I cherish solitude immensely. In today’s society, there’s so much pressure to communicate, eat out, be friends with people. Why can’t you read a book on your own? Why have you got to have a book club? Picture Quote #1

I would change very little because I have been very, very fortunate. A lot of things fell into place for me simply by happenstance. When that happens you don’t really want to change anything, even if you could. Editorially my regrets are few and for the most part minor. I look back on my first published book and think I held on to it too long, babied it too long Picture Quote #1

Two forces are succesfully influencing the education of a cultivated man: art and science. Both are united in the book Picture Quote #1
