Books Quotes

Mark Twain was a great traveler and he wrote three or four great travel books. I wouldn't say that I'm a travel novelist but rather a novelist who travels - and who uses travel as a background for finding stories of places Picture Quote #1

I live alone, with cats, books, pictures, fresh vegetables to cook, the garden, the hens to feed Picture Quote #1

Obey thy parents, keep thy word justly; swear not; commit not with man's sworn spouse; set not thy sweet heart on proud array. Keep thy foot out of brothels, thy pen from lenders' books Picture Quote #1

The instruction we find in books is like fire. We fetch it from our neighbours, kindle it at home, communicate it to others, and it becomes the property of all Picture Quote #1

I don't write literary fiction - I write books that are entertaining, but are also, I hope, well constructed and thoughtful and funny and have things to say about men and women and families and children and life in America today Picture Quote #1

I had no books at home. I started to frequent a public library in Lisbon. It was there, with no help except curiosity and the will to learn, that my taste for reading developed and was refined Picture Quote #1

My books are shelved in different places, depending on the bookstore. Sometimes they can be found in the mystery section, sometimes in the humor department, and occasionally even in the literature aisle, which is somewhat astounding Picture Quote #1

Works of art often last forever, or nearly so. But exhibitions themselves, especially gallery exhibitions, are like flowers; they bloom and then they die, then exist only as memories, or pressed in magazines and books Picture Quote #1

All of the books in the world contain no more information than is broadcast as video in a single large American city in a single year. Not all bits have equal value Picture Quote #1

Home base is the support system where we have a culinary team, my own writers because of the shows and the books and stuff, we have a culinary team of about six people. Marketing, public relations, accounting and all that sort of stuff Picture Quote #1

It's a fact that more people watch television and get their information that way than read books. I find new technology and new ways of communication very exciting and would like to do more in this field Picture Quote #1

Who knows for what we live, and struggle, and die? Wise men write many books, in words too hard to understand. But this, the purpose of our lives, the end of all our struggle, is beyond all human wisdom Picture Quote #1

Study how water flows in a valley stream, smoothly and freely between the rocks. Also learn from holy books and wise people. Everything - even mountains, rivers, plants and trees - should be your teacher Picture Quote #1

Books are the legacies that a great genius leaves to mankind, which are delivered down from generation to generation as presents to the posterity of those who are yet unborn Picture Quote #1

Buying books would be a good thing if one could also buy the time to read them in: but as a rule the purchase of books is mistaken for the appropriation of their contents Picture Quote #1

McSweeney's as a publishing company is built on a business model that only works when we sell physical books. So we try to put a lot of effort into the design and production of the book as object Picture Quote #1

I think almost every writer in the world would hope that books would be always talked about with respect and civility and depth and seriousness Picture Quote #1

I love to read. I love to stretch. In the morning, I get up, and if I'm not in a hurry, I will lie on the floor on a rug, look through some books and magazines, and maybe listen to music and try to do stretching exercises to tune up Picture Quote #1

I read a book a day when I was a kid. My family was not literary; we did not have any books in the house Picture Quote #1

This will never be a civilized country until we spend more money for books than we do for chewing gum Picture Quote #1

You are welcome to your intellectual pastimes and books and art and newspapers; welcome, too, to your bars and your whisky that only makes me ill. Here am I in the forest, quite content Picture Quote #1

Sometimes I can tackle an issue - homelessness, tobacco litigation, insurance fraud, the death penalty - and wrap a good story around it. These are the best books, the ones with a story and a message Picture Quote #1

Writing for children is bloody difficult; books for children are as complex as their adult counterparts, and they should therefore be accorded the same respect Picture Quote #1

All the ills of mankind, all the tragic misfortunes that fill the history books, all the political blunders, all the failures of the great leaders have arisen merely from a lack of skill at dancing Picture Quote #1
