Book Quotes

It’s easy to get published once you have written a really good book and the hard part, 99 percent of what you need to worry about, is really finishing it Picture Quote #1

I don’t really get hate mail, which surprises me, but people have better things to do than to write hate mail to somebody who writes a book about hating everything, I guess Picture Quote #1

You can go to the pictures or read a book, but football constantly comes back into your mind. It’s not a job, it’s a life. It takes up your time, thoughts and energy and it can damage relationships with those around you Picture Quote #1

We see in meditation that our experiences are endless, that we are endless, eternal spirit, not as a thought or an idea you read in a book. You have the experience yourself, every day Picture Quote #1

It has long been a tradition among novel writers that a book must end by everybody getting just what they wanted, or if the conventional happy ending was impossible, then it must be a tragedy in which one or both should die. In real life very few of us get what we want, our tragedies don’t kill us, but we go on living them year after year, carrying them with us like a scar on an old wound Picture Quote #1

It isn’t much of a book of quotations if I am not in it Picture Quote #1

A good book is a lighthouse; a wise man is a lighthouse; conscience is a lighthouse; compassion is a lighthouse; science is a lighthouse! They all show us the true path! Keep them in your life to remain safe in the rocky and dark waters of life! Picture Quote #1

I think of every book as a single entity, and some have later gone on to become a series, often at the request of readers Picture Quote #1

I don’t for one second think about the possibility of censorship when I am writing a new book. I know I am a person who cares about kids and who cares about truth and I am guided by my own instincts, and trust them Picture Quote #1

I often compare myself as a kid to my own grandchildren, who are around 11 and 14 now. That’s the age kids usually read my book. And I remember myself; we’d gone through a world war. My father was an army officer so I was aware of what was going on. But I wasn’t bombarded with images of catastrophe like many kids are today Picture Quote #1

In terms of a narrative nonfiction book, when you’re describing scenes that you have multiple sources for, and that you have differing sources for, and you decide to choose a path that puts all that information together, well yeah, there’s definitely going to be a little bit of the author in that. But there’s nothing wrong with that Picture Quote #1

People are lonely. They want company and your book can provide them company and a little bit of hope. And there’s nothing wrong with that Picture Quote #1

Unlike novel characters, comic book characters last an eternity. When a character is changed beyond recognition, there’s no longer the merchandising aspect Picture Quote #1

I used to split my time between writing, music and painting. I would work on a book and then abandon it, start a band, do an album, quit music, then do a gallery show. Eventually I decided to give writing a serious shot Picture Quote #1

I watched so many comic book movies where the actors weren’t as built as the characters in the book. It made me mad because they didn’t look right Picture Quote #1

Sometimes we misunderstand what films can do. We just throw a whole book in there, with people just talking, talking, and talking. The picture can tell, the frame can tell Picture Quote #1

I read a lot of comic books and any kind of thing I could find. One day, a teacher found me. She grabbed my comic book and tore it up. I was really upset, but then she brought in a pile of books from her own library. That was the best thing that ever happened to me Picture Quote #1

Most of the people who write to me are really clever, really engaged. They just want to say that they have read my book and liked it Picture Quote #1

I don’t do a comic book thinking there is a movie. I just want it to be as good a comic book as it can be Picture Quote #1

I’m not a writer who refuses to talk about a book until I’ve finished Picture Quote #1

I find writing extremely difficult. I usually have to drag myself to my desk, mainly because I doubt myself. And it’s getting harder because I want to improve with every book Picture Quote #1

In high school, I had to hide my comic book side, my nerd side from the civilian world so they wouldn’t categorize me. They would try to marginalize me for what I like. I tried to give it up, believe me. I tried to kick the habit. But there’s too much I liked about it to give it up completely Picture Quote #1

As far as I’m concerned, I’m a writer who’s writing books, and therefore, I don’t want to die. You’d miss the end of the book, wouldn’t you? You can’t die with an unfinished book Picture Quote #1

It’s easier to write about those you hate - just as it’s easier to criticize a bad play or a bad book Picture Quote #1

Every object strives for its proper place. A book seeks to be near its truest admirer. Just as this helpless moth seeks to be near the candle that infatuates him Picture Quote #1

If we marvel at the artist who has written a great book, we must marvel more at those people whose lives are works of art and who don’t even know it, who wouldn’t believe it if they were told. However hard work good writing may be, it is easier than good living Picture Quote #1

Children have to have access to books, and a lot of children can’t go to a store and buy a book. We need not only our public libraries to be funded properly and staffed properly, but our school libraries. Many children can’t get to a public library, and the only library they have is a school library Picture Quote #1

I think if a book has the power to move a reader, it also has the power to offend a reader. And you want your books to have power, so you just have to take what comes with that Picture Quote #1

I can’t believe there will ever be a time when the book is truly obsolete. It is the perfect technology and feeds the soul Picture Quote #1

It can be hard to write a skillfully entertaining fiction, but a great book wants to be more, and wants more from us Picture Quote #1
