Books Quotes

I wanted to know what it was like to be a drug addict, and have an eating disorder, and have a loved one die, and fall in love. I saw my friends going through these things, I saw the world going through these things, and I needed to understand them. I needed to make sense of them. Books didn’t make me wallow in darkness, darkness made me wallow in books, and it was books that showed me there is light at the end of the tunnel Picture Quote #1

Only think about the people you enjoy. Only read the books you enjoy, that make you happy to be human. Only go to the events that actually make you laugh or fall in love. Only deal with the people who love you back, who are winners and want you to win too Picture Quote #1

Not every child takes instantly to books like a duck to water, but I don’t believe there are children who hate books. There are just children who haven’t yet found the right books for them Picture Quote #1

This is what books only aimed to do and never could. Give you the glint of someone else’s sunrise, what living is really like, you get old and it hurts to bend your elbow; your friends start to die, you can’t get fresh fruit in the shops Picture Quote #1

I calmed myself by walking into my nearby bookstore and marveling at all the books other people had written. So many people had finished and published novels; it couldn’t be so hard, right? Picture Quote #1

I mean, we have to read books or we’ll make mistakes. If we read stories of how other people lived, we can figure out better ways to live. I mean we can look at other people’s lives and not make the same mistakes they made. Or we can, like, use their examples as models for ourselves Picture Quote #1

To a bibliophile, there is but one thing better than a box of new books, and that is a box of old ones Picture Quote #1

I am writing to apply for the position of bookkeeper. Attached, you will find my list of qualifications. I have been keeping books for four years now, and I am never going to give them back Picture Quote #1

I’m always worried about how fans of the books will react, but we have kept true to a lot of the books. Obviously there are changes, but with the books as a basis, hopefully the fans will like what we have done Picture Quote #1

Books alone are liberal and free; they give to all who ask; they emancipate all who serve them faithfully Picture Quote #1

Um, yeah. I guess lying around reading books all day doesn’t do much for physical endurance Picture Quote #1

Draw the art you want to see, start the business you want to run, play the music you want to hear, write the books you want to read, build the products you want to use – do the work you want to see done Picture Quote #1

Genealogy of ideas. You don’t get to pick your family, but you can pick your teachers and you can pick your friends and you can pick the music you listen to and you can pick the books you read and you can pick the movies you see Picture Quote #1

The difference between a novelist and someone who tinkers around with writing is this: novelists finish their books Picture Quote #1

Books transmit values. They explore our common humanity. What is the message when some children are not represented in those books? Picture Quote #1

Libraries are where most of us really fall in love with books, where we can browse and choose on our own. Its really one of the first autonomous things we do, picking the books we want to read Picture Quote #1

All our institutions rest upon business. Without it we should not have schools, colleges, churches, parks, playgrounds, pavements, books, libraries, art, music, or anything else that we value Picture Quote #1

I suffered most inconvenience from the difficulty of getting news from the civilised world down river, from the irregularity of receipt of letters, parcels of books and periodicals, and towards the latter part of my residence from ill health arising from bad and insufficient food Picture Quote #1

Read books. Care about things. Get excited. Try not to be too down on youself. Enjoy the ever present game of knowing Picture Quote #1

What did a person need to survive? Food. Water. Shelter. Warmth in cold weather. And something else... books Picture Quote #1

Books are to be distinguished by the grandeur of their topics even more than by the manner in which they are treated Picture Quote #1

Home to me is the world because my books have been translated into more than 30 languages. People feel they know me and the minute they talk about my life or books I feel at home. Home is where you are appreciated, safe and protected, creative, and where you are loved – not where you are put in prison Picture Quote #1

Books can only reveal us to ourselves, and as often as they do us this service we lay them aside Picture Quote #1

The art of injudicious reading, the art of miscellaneous reading which every normal man ought to cultivate, is a very fine and satisfactory art; for the best guide to books is a book itself. It clasps hands with a thousand other books Picture Quote #1

When I get nervous, I go to the library and hang around. The libraries are filled with people who are nervous. You can blend in with them there. You’re bound to see someone more nervous than you are in a library. Sometimes the librarians themselves are more nervous than you are. I’ll probably be a librarian for that reason. Then if I’m nervous on the job, it won’t show. I’ll just stamp books and look things up for people and run back and forth to the staff room sneaking smokes until I get hold of myself. A library is a great place to hid Picture Quote #1

I had already found that it was not good to be alone, and so I made companionship with what there was around me, sometimes with the universe and sometimes with my own insignificant self; but my books were always my friends, let fail all else Picture Quote #1

Books, the books that I loved above all else to spend my time with, were the great tools for understanding one’s life and the lives of other people Picture Quote #1

Seek wisdom in books, rare manuscripts, and cryptic poems if you will, but seek it out also in simple stones, and fragile herbs, and in the cries of wild birds. Listen to the whisperings of the wind and the roar of water if you would discover magic, for it is here that the old secrets are preserved Picture Quote #1

Books can lift our spirits, heal our wounds, steel our courage and strengthen our religious resolve Picture Quote #1

I know that there is not in the world a more subtle poison than that which is extracted from and administered by books Picture Quote #1
