Text Quotes
That's one of the things books do. They help us talk. But they also give us something we can all talk about when we don't want to talk about ourselves (Books Quotes)
One of the many things I love about bound books is their sheer physicality. Electronic books live out of sight and out of mind. But printed books have body, presence.... I often seek electronic books, but they never come after me. They may make me feel, but I can't feel them. They are all soul with no flesh, no texture, and no weight (Books Quotes)

All over the world, the people always asked for the same thing: books. Sometimes even before medicine or shelter - they wanted books for their children (Books Quotes)

How could anyone who loves books not love a book that is itself so in love with books? (Books Quotes)
That's one of the amazing things great books like this do - they don't just get you to see the world differently, they get you to look at people, the people all around you, differently (Books Quotes)
When I think back on all the refugee camps I visited, all over the world, the people always asked for the same thing: books. Sometimes even before medicine or shelter - they wanted books for their children. (quoting his mother) (Books Quotes)
And the world around me was nothing if not an infinity of distractions: cute girls, novels and comic books, my budding record collection, neighborhood boys whistling from the playground under my window, beckoning me to a soccer game (Books Quotes)
There is a logic [to my reading], but I can't define it. I like reading impulsively. I collect books, I have a lot of them, but most of them I have not read yet. I'll read them when they call me from the shelf (Books Quotes)
I have spent 20 years writing these books. Had I wanted to say men are beasts and scream, that takes 30 seconds (Books Quotes)
There exist words of mediocrity, songs of mediocrity, and life lessons of mediocrity. Advice of mediocrity, books of mediocrity and companions of mediocrity also are available. One may also meet songs of purpose that make us ponder to wonder, advice filled with authority to dare. We may also hear life lessons that can challenge and change us. What do you listen to? If what you listen to will not make you, it will mar you (Books Quotes)
You may always find good books to read but the best and the ultimate book to read is the Holy Bible (Books Quotes)

Give me a house furnished with books rather than furniture! Both, if you can, but books at any rate! (Books Quotes)
The shelf was filled with books that were hard to read, that could devastate and remake one's soul, and that, when they were finished, had a kick like a mule (Books Quotes)
Our brains are no longer conditioned for reverence and awe. We cannot imagine a Second Coming that would not be cut down to size by the televised evening news, or a Last Judgment not subject to pages of holier-than-Thou second-guessing in the New York Review of Books (Books Quotes)
We too are called to withdraw at certain intervals into deeper silence and aloneness with God, together as a community as well as personally; to be alone with Him - not with our books, thoughts, and memories but completely stripped of everything - to dwell lovingly in His presence, silent, empty, expectant, and motionless. We cannot find God in noise or agitation (Books Quotes)
What readers ask nowadays in a book is that it should improve, instruct and elevate. This book wouldn't elevate a cow. I cannot conscientiously recommend it for any useful purposes whatever. All I can suggest is that when you get tired of reading "the best hundred books," you may take this for half an hour. It will be a change (Books Quotes)
My books are like water; those of the great geniuses are wine. Fortunately, everybody drinks water (Books Quotes)

I never heard of anyone who was really literate or who ever really loved books who wanted to suppress any of them (Books Quotes)
Do not suppose, however, that I intend to urge a diet of classics on anybody. I have seen such diets at work. I have known people who have actually read all, or almost all, the guaranteed Hundred Best Books. God save us from reading nothing but the best (Books Quotes)
We are too civil to books. For a few golden sentences we will turn over and actually read a volume of four or five hundred pages (Books Quotes)
Each age, it is found, must write its own books; or rather, each generation for the next succeeding (Books Quotes)
