Books Quotes

I have said repeatedly that in this country we track library books better than we do sex offenders Picture Quote #1

Without books I would not have become a vivacious reader, and if you are not a reader you are not a writer Picture Quote #1

In my books, women often solve the problem. Even if the woman is not the hero, she’s a strong character. She does change the plot. She’ll often rescue the male character from some situation Picture Quote #1

Getting close to books, and spending time by myself, I was obliged to think about things I would never have thought about if I was busy romping around with a brother and sister Picture Quote #1

Books are only the shadow and life the real thing. I believe this as strongly as any belief I hold Picture Quote #1

Few are sufficiently sensible of the importance of that economy in reading which selects, almost exclusively, the very first order of books. Why, except for some special reason, read an inferior book, at the very time you might be reading one of the highest order? Picture Quote #1

People in my books tend to get their just deserts, even if not at the hands of the police Picture Quote #1

My parents took an interest in nothing, at home no books, no records. My mother and my father are the emblem of indifference, dryness and bad taste. My father is also terribly stingy, in life as well as in feelings: I have never seen him filling up the bathtub Picture Quote #1

This hand is not very active always, because it was in this hand that I carried my books. My carrying hand was always my strongest. Now I think my other hand has developed more muscles from signing all those autographs Picture Quote #1

There are several books out on punk history, but I haven’t read any of them. I was there Picture Quote #1

It was 1966 by the time I started taking pictures seriously and books, newspapers and magazines of the time were full of great pictures that helped to inspire me Picture Quote #1

Look at lots of exhibitions and books, and don’t get hung up on cameras and technical things. Photography is about images Picture Quote #1

And, uh, I’ve got about six thousand cartoons up there, also books and papers Picture Quote #1

My wife and I love to read. Were going to have to move out to make room for the books! And we have our dogs Picture Quote #1

I really hate those books where the murderer turns out to be somebody you never heard of who pops up in the last chapter Picture Quote #1

I loved to read when I was a kid, and as soon as I realized that an actual person got to make up the books I loved so much, I decided that that was the job for me Picture Quote #1

The deadlines are much, much longer with books. When I was a reporter, a lot of times I’d come in at 8:30 a.m., get an assignment right away, interview somebody, turn the story in by 9:30, and have the finished story in the paper that landed on my desk by noon Picture Quote #1

There’s something about each of my books that I’m really proud of, and there’s something about each of my books that I cringe over Picture Quote #1

I look at my books the way parents look at their children. The fact that one becomes more successful than the others doesn’t make me love the less successful one any less Picture Quote #1

I’ve learned to look like I’m listening to long confusing plots of cartoons and comic books when I’m actually sound asleep or making grocery shopping lists in my head Picture Quote #1

What a word is truth. Slippery, tricky, unreliable. I tried in these books to tell the truth Picture Quote #1

All novels are about crime. You’d be hard pressed to find any novel that does not have an element of crime. I don’t see myself as a crime novelist, but there are crimes in my books. That’s the nature of storytelling, if you want to reflect the real world Picture Quote #1

Here’s my rule: You always want to pay cash for your own books, because if they look at the name on the credit card and then they look at the name on the book jacket, then there’s this look of such profound sympathy for you that you had to resort to this. It really is withering Picture Quote #1

I’d love to see a good script of one of my books, in these years of animations and comic book sequels, and had so many written over the years, but none quite clicked Picture Quote #1

I’ve always loved words. I ate up all the books I could get my hands on, and when I couldn’t get books, I read candy wrappers and labels on cereal and toothpaste boxes Picture Quote #1

It is right and natural that generous minds while in the twenties should think the books which try to reform the world’s wrong the greatest of all Picture Quote #1

The mortality of all inanimate things is terrible to me, but that of books most of all Picture Quote #1

Many of my books have begun with the title, because naming a work already in progress makes no sense to me Picture Quote #1

And so for a couple of years my life was divided between my music and my school books Picture Quote #1

Reading was a big thing, yes. Books were a big thing. But the things that stick out were the newspapers Picture Quote #1
