The book, the idea of a book or the image of a book, is a symbol of learning, of transmitting knowledge.. I make my own books to find my way through the old stories Picture Quote #1

Nothing beats love. Love is the greatest healing power there is; nothing else comes close. Not ancient cures, modern medicines and technologies, or all the interesting books we read or the wise things we say and think. Love has a transformational power Picture Quote #1

My whole thing is that I want to explore why you read books, what’s the purpose of reading, and maybe that it’s not that cool to hate something just because it’s popular Picture Quote #1

There are thousands of books on the joy of gardening and cooking. Alas, there are only few on the joy of living Picture Quote #1

I have many creative outlets. I sing, I like music, I like art, I paint, I draw. I like buying art. I read a lot, too. I love books. And I’m working on a clothing line, too Picture Quote #1

I spent my life folded between the pages of books. In the absence of human relationships I formed bonds with paper characters Picture Quote #1

I think I wrote once that baseball in many ways is very much like reading. I said there are more bad books than bad ballgames, or maybe it was the other way around. I can’t remember Picture Quote #1

Books written out of fire give me a great deal of pleasure. You get the sense that the world for these writers could not have continued if the book hadn’t been written. When you come across a book like that it is a privilege Picture Quote #1

Books are not men and yet they are alive. They are man’s memory and his aspiration, the link between his present and his past, the tools he builds with Picture Quote #1

Read! Read something every day. Discipline yourself to a regular schedule of reading. In fifteen minutes a day you can read twenty books a year Picture Quote #1

I caution writers all the time to slow down and pay more attention to the work in front of them than to the end result. I don’t think you write one book and get anywhere. I think you write five books and then maybe you are finally on the right path Picture Quote #1

I don’t judge in my books. I don’t have to have the antagonist get shot or the protagonist win. It’s just how it comes out. I’m just telling a story Picture Quote #1

The people themselves begin to clamour for an education which shall qualify their children for life rather than for earning a living. As a matter of fact, it is the man who has read and thought on many subjects who is, with the necessary training, the most capable whether in handling tools, drawing plans, or keeping books Picture Quote #1

To introduce children to literature is to instal them in a very rich and glorious kingdom, to bring a continual holiday to their doors, to lay before them a feast exquisitely served. But they must learn to know literature by being familiar with it from the very first. A child’s intercourse must always be with good books, the best that we can find Picture Quote #1

I’m sure someone out there has a workable solution. But what do I know? I make comic books and write about jazz. I do know the difference between right and wrong, though Picture Quote #1

My books and other works are my legacy, and it’s a great comfort to know that mine is a legacy of pleasure for other people Picture Quote #1

Books that recount ordeals are precious because an ordeal is what we most fear, and the stories that tell us how to survive them reassure us about what a human being is capable of, as we survive our own lives every day, our own mysterious journeys Picture Quote #1
