My book group has one rule: no books for adults. We read young adult fiction only Picture Quote #1

I vowed to myself that when I grew up and became a theoretical physicist, in addition to doing research, I would write books that I would have liked to have read as a child. So whenever I write, I imagine myself, as a youth, reading my books, being thrilled by the incredible advances being made in physics and science Picture Quote #1

I stole comic books from my brother when I was a kid, but I was never like an avid fan. I can’t claim to be like a comic book geek Picture Quote #1

I bring spiritual books with me while travelling. I like books about thoughts and how you see the world Picture Quote #1

I want the reader to know what’s going on. So there’s never a mystery in my books Picture Quote #1

To me, a book is a book, an electronic device is not, and love of books was the reason I started writing Picture Quote #1

There’s a variety and depth to the song topics I get to write about in children’s music and books: being able to write about things I wouldn’t normally write about, like a disappointing pancake, or monsters or opposite day is really different than writing about heartbreak and relationships Picture Quote #1

It is shallow people who think beauty is frivolous or excessive. If you are bringing beauty and God, you are enriching the country. Rice feeds the body, books feed the mind, beauty feeds the soul. It is one thing I can really be proud of and stand tall in the world Picture Quote #1

Perhaps it is partly that we need to love books ourselves as parents, grandparents and teachers in order to pass on that passion for stories to our children. It’s not about testing and reading schemes, but about loving stories and passing on that passion to our children Picture Quote #1

Access to books and the encouragement of the habit of reading: these two things are the first and most necessary steps in education and librarians, teachers and parents all over the country know it. It is our children’s right and it is also our best hope and their best hope for the future Picture Quote #1

Television isn’t inherently good or bad. You go to a bookstore, there are how many thousands of books, but how many of those do you want? Five? Television’s the same way. If you’re going to show people stuff, television is the way to go. Words and pictures show things Picture Quote #1

Look at comic books. It used to be something that only geeks were into. And now it’s everywhere Picture Quote #1

I love books and going to bookstores. My favorite sound is the sound of the needle hitting the record Picture Quote #1

I am a regular, if not exactly enthusiastic, patron of my local bookshop. I try to buy at least some books there because I cling to the belief that it’s important to maintain those businesses which put a human face on the exchange of money for goods and services Picture Quote #1

I often feel newspapers are just filling up space. Of course, I also know people who write really long books Picture Quote #1

I want my books to sell, to be read. I’m not interested in being obscure Picture Quote #1
