Book Shelves Quotes

I got my iPad, and I’m trying to buy books on that, but I kind of like a book. At the end of my life, when I’m old, I want to have all these shelves full of books. So I’m just gonna do the book thing Picture Quote #1

No matter how beautiful and loved a cover may be, the jury on it remains uncommitted until the book has been in the world for a while. Perhaps bookstore buyers will be indifferent. Perhaps it will be lost on store shelves. Perhaps there’s another book or two out there using the same or a similar photo Picture Quote #1

If you’re going to have a book published in China, that means that you’re going to be subject to in-house censorship at the publisher, and then also, of course, the government has an apparatus that is in charge of making sure that ideas that are considered disruptive or overly critical, that those don’t get onto bookstore shelves Picture Quote #1

I love the Web, but the basis of my work is going through the physical books. When you go to the library, you see other books around on the shelves that you never knew existed. You can flip through a book and see the whole outline of it Picture Quote #1

I work in a small study on the top floor of a brownstone in Brooklyn - it’s about 75 square feet, 11 taken up by book shelves along one wall Picture Quote #1

One of the pleasures of staying with friends is that you get to browse their shelves. I always arrive with a book, but I almost never read it. It would be like sitting at their dinner table and opening a packet of sandwiches Picture Quote #1

I feel as if when you love a book it becomes a part of you whether you have it on your shelves or not Picture Quote #1

Also, if nothing else, writing this book has really changed the way I experience bookstores. I have a whole different appreciation for the amount of work packed into even the slimmest volume on the shelves Picture Quote #1

Though I have never thought of myself as a book collector, there are shelves in our house browsed so often, on so many rainy winter nights, that the contents have seeped into me as if by osmosis Picture Quote #1

I once stole a book. It was really just the once, and at the time I called it borrowing. It was 1970, and the book, I could see by its lack of date stamps, had been lying unappreciated on the shelves of my convent school library since its publication in 1945 Picture Quote #1
