Books Quotes

The books that help you most are those which make you think that most. The hardest way of learning is that of easy reading; but a great book that comes from a great thinker is a ship of thought, deep freighted with truth and beauty Picture Quote #1

My parents were keen for me to have the education they themselves never had. They weren't able to guide me towards particular books, but they encouraged me to read, which I did, randomly and compulsively Picture Quote #1

A book is a fragile creature, it suffers the wear of time, it fears rodents, the elements and clumsy hands. So the librarian protects the books not only against mankind but also against nature and devotes his life to this war with the forces of oblivion Picture Quote #1

Study is like the heaven's glorious sun, that will not be deep searched with saucy looks; small have continuous plodders ever won, save base authority from others' books Picture Quote #1

From women's eyes this doctrine I derive: They sparkle still the right Promethean fire; they are the books, the arts, the academes, that show, contain, and nourish all the world Picture Quote #1

Love goes toward love, as schoolboys from their books; but love from love, toward school with heavy looks Picture Quote #1

Yes, I've listened to just a few audiobooks - but hope to listen to more. I've wanted to investigate how my own books sound in this format and find the experience of listening, and not reading, quite fascinating Picture Quote #1

My father was sleepless most of his life. So by the age of five, I was awake with him all night long, watching bad television or we'd lie in the same bed, and I'd read my comic books while he read his latest spy or mystery novel Picture Quote #1

I've always had great respect for Paddington because he is amusingly English and eccentric. He is a great British institution and my generation grew up with the books and then Michael Horden's animations Picture Quote #1

A man can stand a lot as long as he can stand himself. He can live without hope, without friends, without books, even without music, as long as he can listen to his own thoughts Picture Quote #1

Books are but waste paper unless we spend in action the wisdom we get from thought - asleep. When we are weary of the living, we may repair to the dead, who have nothing of peevishness, pride, or design in their conversation Picture Quote #1

A bad book is the worse that it cannot repent. It has not been the devil's policy to keep the masses of mankind in ignorance; but finding that they will read, he is doing all in his power to poison their books Picture Quote #1

I'm not funny. People assume that because my books are funny, I'll be funny in real life. It's the inevitable disappointment of meeting me Picture Quote #1

O, let my books be then the eloquence and dumb presagers of my speaking breast, who plead for love, and look for recompense, more than that tongue that more hath more expressed Picture Quote #1

Without words, without writing and without books there would be no history, there could be no concept of humanity Picture Quote #1

Ideas are only lethal if you suppress and don't discuss them. Ignorance is not bliss, it's stupid. Banning books shows you don't trust your kids to think and you don't trust yourself to be able to talk to them Picture Quote #1

What society doesn't realize is that in the past, ordinary people respected learning. They respected books, and they don't now, or not very much. That whole respect for serious literature and learning has disappeared Picture Quote #1

They are the books, the arts, the academies, that show, contain, and nourish all the world Picture Quote #1

Some of the most famous books are the least worth reading. Their fame was due to their having done something that needed to be doing in their day. The work is done and the virtue of the book has expired Picture Quote #1

Today's public figures can no longer write their own speeches or books, and there is some evidence that they can't read them either Picture Quote #1

If you read a lot of books, you're considered well read. But if you watch a lot of TV, you're not considered well viewed Picture Quote #1

Books want to be born: I never make them. They come to me and insist on being written, and on being such and such Picture Quote #1

Our Lord has written the promise of the resurrection, not in books alone, but in every leaf in spring time Picture Quote #1

I like to deal with every aspect of our condition, and that means terror and humor in equal mix. Some books have more room for humor than others Picture Quote #1

In my books, I never portray violence as a reasonable solution to a problem. If the lead characters in the story are driven to it, it's at the extreme end of their experience Picture Quote #1

Be true to yourself, help others, make each day your masterpiece, make friendship a fine art, drink deeply from good books - especially the Bible, build a shelter against a rainy day, give thanks for your blessings and pray for guidance every day Picture Quote #1

Keep thy foot out of brothels, thy hand out of plackets, thy pen from lenders' books, and defy the foul fiend Picture Quote #1

So, of his gentleness, knowing I loved my books, he furnished me from mine own library with volumes that I prize above my dukedom Picture Quote #1

But then I go through long periods where I don't listen to things, usually when I'm working. In between the records and in between the writing I suck up books and music and movies and anything I can find Picture Quote #1

I believe in books that do not go to a ready made public. I'm looking for readers I would like to make. To win them, to create readers rather than to give something that readers are expecting. That would bore me to death Picture Quote #1
