Book Quotes

What should a good children’s book be like? If you ask me, I can tell you after thinking long and hard: It must be good Picture Quote #1

And so I write the way I myself would like the book to be – if I were a child. I write for the child within me Picture Quote #1

Medicine is learned by the bedside and not in the classroom. Let not your conceptions of disease come from words heard in the lecture room or read from the book. See, and then reason and compare and control. But see first Picture Quote #1

You can’t know a book until you come to the end of it, and then all the rest must be modified to fit that Picture Quote #1

The city’s the best gallery I could imagine. I would never have to make a book and then present it to a gallery and let them decide if my work was nice enough to show it to people. I would control it directly with the public in the streets Picture Quote #1

I think of a child’s mind as a blank book. During the first years of his life, much will be written on the pages. The quality of that writing will affect his life profoundly Picture Quote #1

Friendship with the wise gets better with time, as a good book gets better with age Picture Quote #1

I was a book editor for nine years. I’m familiar with the opposite experience, bracing myself for the likelihood that no one would want to publish my book Picture Quote #1

There is no shop, book, or person, that gives you confidence; it comes through reconnecting with your true authentic self Picture Quote #1

I truly believe the book of philosophy to be that which stands perpetually open before our eyes, though since it is written in characters different from those of our alphabet it cannot be read by everyone Picture Quote #1

The eternal challenge for screenwriter adapters is figuring out how to make something work on screen, when so much of what made it work in the book were the thoughts of the character, and obviously wanting to avoid voiceover Picture Quote #1

Can’t do any work with a rock star; you have to go through their lawyers and their agents and their managers and you have to book them hotel rooms. When you work with your friends, you just call them up and they come over and you record and then you go out to see a movie Picture Quote #1

Practically everything I did as an experiment while I was working on the book made me feel cold, angry, and decidedly peculiar. Clinical. Because I wasn’t acting from the motives people usually work from: to feel good, to have fun, to make something last Picture Quote #1

I love audio books, and when I paint I’m always listening to a book. I find that my imagination really takes flight in the painting process when I’m listening to audio books Picture Quote #1

I think because I try to keep things as real as I can, or I try to start from a place of reality, I almost don’t have the imagination to write a book that’s not set where I am Picture Quote #1

The book says we may be through with the past but the past ain’t through with us Picture Quote #1

A book can change the world... Every book a child reads creates new neurons in that child’s brain Picture Quote #1

If you want intelligent children give them a book. If you want more intelligent children give them more books Picture Quote #1

I thought of all the different kinds of love in the world. I could think of ten without even trying. The way parents love their kids, the way you love a puppy or chocolate ice cream or home or your favorite book or your sister. Or your uncle. There’s those kinds of love and then there’s the other kind. The falling kind Picture Quote #1

God forbid that I should ever suffer the shame of publishing a book for money, or of having one of my family so demean themselves. How can one tell who might read it? No worthy book has ever been written for gain, I think; Picture Quote #1

I like to be aware of a book as a piece of writing, and aware of its structure as a product of mind, and yet I want to be able to see the represented world through it. I admire artists who succeed in dividing my attention more or less evenly between the world of their books and the art of their books... so that a reader may study the work with pleasure as well as the world that it describes Picture Quote #1

When I’m following what a character does in a book I don’t have to think about my own life. Where I am. Why I’m here. My moms and my brother and my old man. I can just think about the character’s life and try and figure out what’s gonna happen. Plus when you’re in a group home you pretty much can’t go anywhere, right? But when you read books you almost feel like you’re out there in the world. Like you’re going on this adventure right with the main character. At least, that’s the way I do it. It’s actually not that bad. Even if it is mad nerdy Picture Quote #1

What is in question is a kind of book reviewing which seems to be more and more popular: the loose putting down of opinions as though they were facts, and the treating of facts as though they were opinions Picture Quote #1

Because here’s the thing about a book: when you pick up a story, you put down your own Picture Quote #1

Every play I do, every book I write, every painting I paint, I will struggle with. I don’t know what it’s like for a project to come easy Picture Quote #1

I appreciate a book intended to be judged by its cover. The insincere readers are often weeded out while the sincere readers remain curious Picture Quote #1

When I was child, I never spoke. Teacher used to write remarks on my note book. My mom sent me to a trainer. I started talking, and it gave me confidence Picture Quote #1
