Books Quotes

What makes a good book? Scholars and critics have been debating that question for decades. I like books that touch my head and my heart at the same time Picture Quote #1

For what use are books to anyone whose days are like a rook’s nest with every twig a duty Picture Quote #1

I wanted to read immediately. The only fear was that of books coming to an end Picture Quote #1

Books aren’t like broccoli. You don’t have to eat it because it’s good for you. Books drag you in because they are fascinating Picture Quote #1

The dark side of life, and the horror of it, belonged to a world that lay remote from his own select little atmosphere of books and dreamings Picture Quote #1

What a blessing it is to love books. Everybody must love something, and I know of no objects of love that give such substantial and unfailing returns as books and a garden Picture Quote #1

Why is it that people who wouldn’t dream of stealing anything else think it’s perfectly all right to steal books? Picture Quote #1

Whenever anyone declares having read a book of mine I am disappointed by the error. That’s because my books are not to be read in the sense usually called reading: the only way it seems to me to approach the novels that I write is to catch them in the same manner that one catches an illness Picture Quote #1

If you are reading in order to become a better reader, you cannot read just any book or article. You will not improve as a reader if all you read are books that are well within your capacity. You must tackle books that are beyond you, or, as we have said, books that are over your head. Only books of that sort will make you stretch your mind. And unless you stretch, you will not learn Picture Quote #1

Joss’s ears perked up. He loved libraries. Nowhere else in the world felt so safe and homey. Nowhere else smelled like books and dust and happy solitude quite like a library did Picture Quote #1

I already read everything. I read poems and plays and novels and newspapers and comic books and magazines. I read tins in supermarkets and leaflets that come through the door, unsolicited mail. None of it lasts long and it doesn’t give me answers. Reading too fast is not soothing Picture Quote #1

What i’m saying is, my friends, one ought to be able to let go. If a path does not please us, instead of insisting on going that specific way, of making our selfishness the guide, we ought to forsake. The books we cannot write, the films we cannot shoot, the projects we cannot develop, the jobs we cannot pursue and the people who no longer love us. Being able to let go, at times, is the most beautiful of all! Picture Quote #1

It is a great feeling to know that from a window I can go to books to cans of beer to past loves. And from these gather enough dream to sneak out a back door Picture Quote #1

Sometimes kindness can be delivered in a clumsy way. But it’s far more sincere in its clumsiness than those distinguished men you read about in books. Your father was very clumsy Picture Quote #1

The library would’ve cheered me up, most days. I loved the heavy oaken tables, the high walls stacked with books to the ceiling, the musty smell of old pages and the heavy brass fixtures that had gone dark with age and wear Picture Quote #1

That’s the magic of books. They’re never quite the same for any two people. When you read one, you automatically make it your own Picture Quote #1

That was the trouble with moving houses; no matter how carefully you packed the books, they never ended up on the new shelves in quite the right place Picture Quote #1

To begin with, it’s true, she read with trepidation and some unease. The sheer endlessness of books outfaced her and she had no idea how to go on; there was no system to her reading, with one book leading to another, and often she had two or three on the go at the same time Picture Quote #1

Readers understand that the books celebrate female power. In the romance novel, the woman always wins. With courage, intelligence and gentleness she brings the most dangerous creature on the earth, the human male, to his knees Picture Quote #1

She looked at her shelves, filled with books in which the bad stuff that happened to people was caused by things like witches who lured people into the woods. In a weird way, the world seemed to make more sense that way Picture Quote #1

Books could be an incredible adventure. I stayed under my blanket and barely moved, and no one would have guessed how my mind raced and my heart soared with stories Picture Quote #1

You want to know about anybody? See what books they read, and how they’ve been read Picture Quote #1

My last refuge, my books: simple pleasures, like finding wild onions by the side of a road, or requited love Picture Quote #1

There was that special smell made up of paper, ink, and dust; the busy hush; the endless luxury of thousands of unread books. Best of all was the eager itch of anticipation as you went out the door with your arms loaded down with books Picture Quote #1

When people read his books they have an uncontrollable desire to hang the author in the town square. I can’t think of a higher honor for a writer Picture Quote #1

Censors never go after books unless kids already like them. I don’t even think they know to go after books until they know that children are interested in reading this book, therefore there must be something in it that’s wrong Picture Quote #1

It is a melancholy illusion of those who write books and articles that the printed word survives. Alas, it rarely does Picture Quote #1

It was the books I started reading. It was the music I started listening to. It was the television I started watching. I found myself thinking again. I tried to stop because it was only causing pain. I couldn’t. Wen all this is in your head it has to come out into your life. If it doesn’t, you get crushed. I’m not going to get crushed Picture Quote #1

Most people’s first books are their best anyways. It’s the one they wanted most to write Picture Quote #1

Ask her what she craved, and she’d get a little frantic about things like books, the woods, music. Plants and the seasons. Also freedom Picture Quote #1
