Books Quotes

I love books so much. I’ve read more books than anyone else I know Picture Quote #1

I don’t want to sound pretentious, but I love art, I like to go to museums, and I like to read books Picture Quote #1

It is books that are a key to the wide world; if you can’t do anything else, read all that you can Picture Quote #1

I never met a librarian worth his or her salt who didn’t perceive my passion for books Picture Quote #1

There are 10,000 books in my library, and it will keep growing until I die. This has exasperated my daughters, amused my friends and baffled my accountant. If I had not picked up this habit in the library long ago, I would have more money in the bank today; I would not be richer Picture Quote #1

She read books quickly and compulsively, paperback after paperback, as if she might drift away without the anchor of the printed page Picture Quote #1

In books, day breaks, and night falls. In life, night rises from the ground. The day hangs on for as long as it can, bright and eager, absolutely and positively the last guest to leave the party, while the ground darkens, oozing night around your ankles, swallowing for ever that dropped contact lens, making you miss that low catch in the gully on the last ball of the last over Picture Quote #1

My main disappointment was always that a book had to end. And then what? But I don’t think I was ever disappointed by the books. I must have been what any author would consider an ideal reader. I felt every pain and pleasure suffered or enjoyed by all the characters. Oh, but I identified! Picture Quote #1

I remember a lot of dreams. Sometimes they are hard to distinguish from what has really happened. That is not so terrible. It is the same with books Picture Quote #1

There is no remedy so easy as books, which if they do not give cheerfulness, at least restore quiet to the most troubled mind Picture Quote #1

Real understanding does not come from what we learn in books; it comes from what we learn from love of nature, of music, of man. For only what is learned in that way is truly understood Picture Quote #1

... the characters in my books all resemble each other. They live, with minor variations, the same moments, the same perils, and when I speak of them, my language, which is inspired by them, repeats the same poems in the same tone Picture Quote #1

Ordinarily my mom just sunk deeper into her corner of the couch and ignored it. She had succesfully ignored a quarter of a century of entropy and decay, had sat peacefully crunching popcorn and drinking soda while the house fell down around us. If I had to guess the number of books she read during that time, I would place the number at somewhere in the neighborhood of forty thousand Picture Quote #1

The bookstore was a parking lot for used graveyards. Thousands of graveyards were parked in rows like cars. Most of the books were out of print, and no one wanted to read them any more and the people who had read the books had died or forgotten about them, but through the organic process of music the books had become virgins again Picture Quote #1

The best books come from someplace deep inside... Become emotionally involved. If you don’t care about your characters, your readers won’t either Picture Quote #1

Literature is the safe and traditional vehicle through which we learn about the world and pass on values from on generation to the next. Books save lives Picture Quote #1

Books: a beautifully browsable invention that needs no electricity and exists in a readable form no matter what happens Picture Quote #1

Like flies in amber, like corpses frozen in in ice, that which according to the laws of nature should pass away is by the miracle of ink on paper, preserved. It is a kind of magic. As one tends the graves of the dead, so I tend the books. And every day I open a volume or two, read a few lines or pages, allow the voices of the forgotten dead to resonate inside my head Picture Quote #1

I love book signings: kids waiting in line for you to scribble on their new books, haha! Picture Quote #1

In my view, nineteen pounds of old books are at least nineteen times as delicious as one pound of fresh caviar Picture Quote #1

I can think of few better ways to introduce a child to books than to let her stack them, upend them, rearrange them, and get her fingerprints all over them Picture Quote #1

As long as you have any floor space at all, you have room for books! Just make two stacks of books the same height, place them three or four feet apart, lay a board across them, and repeat. Viola! Bookshelves! Picture Quote #1

When you find a chillness upon your souls, and that your former heat begins to abate, ply yourselves with warm clothes, get those good books that may acquaint you with such truths as may warm and affect your hearts Picture Quote #1

There is something fascinatingly awkward about an author photo. I’m drawn to those glossy shots in the back of books, mostly because the subjects never look happy to be there Picture Quote #1
