Books Quotes

I think of an intellectual as just being bookish, being interested in history books, utopian ideas, that kind of thing Picture Quote #1

Here among my books, my wife, my friends and my loves, I have plenty of reasons to keep living Picture Quote #1

I now rely on a scanner, which reproduces the passages I want to cite, and then I keep my own comments on those books in a separate file so that I will never confuse the two again Picture Quote #1

I’ve always loved comic books. As a kid, I used to read cowboy stories and historical comics about other worlds, unknown places that would take me out of myself and which helped to develop my imagination Picture Quote #1

Believe one who has tried, you shall find a fuller satisfaction in the woods than in the books. The trees and the rocks will teach you that which you cannot hear from the masters Picture Quote #1

Passion doesn’t come from business or books or even a connection with another person. It is a connection to your own life force, the world around you and the spirit that connects us all. You are the source. Books, work, music, people, sunsets all provide sparks, but only you can light the fire Picture Quote #1

One can live with the thought of one’s own death. It is the thought of the death of the words and books that is terrifying for that is the deeper extinction Picture Quote #1

Why do I write books? Why do I think? Why should I be passionate? Because things could be different, they could be made better Picture Quote #1

I consume an enormous number of books, but they’re always on a particular subject because I’m obsessive Picture Quote #1

I do, however, think it would be difficult to write books I don’t like to read Picture Quote #1

I don’t like to read books where I feel as though I’ve stepped into the middle of things and don’t know what’s going on. I like to see characters I’ve met before, but I don’t want to feel left out because I haven’t read other books in the series Picture Quote #1

I’ve never been a fast reader. I’m fickle; I don’t finish books I start; I put a book aside for five, ten years and then take it up again Picture Quote #1

In my case, the long gaps between my books have got quite a lot to do with lack of confidence. A lot of the time when I’m not writing I start thinking I can’t do it Picture Quote #1

There is a sort of theory that you should adapt bad books because they always make more successful films Picture Quote #1

While I’ve worked on many topics and written many books, I have not abandoned my interest in multiple intelligences Picture Quote #1

I want to write more books, see my first novel made into a film, fight more campaigns, work in more countries. I want to be able to recall experiences that have endured for their pleasure and range and intensity Picture Quote #1

I’m really not responsible for what mental operation people have when they’re reading my books other than the ones which are created by literary effects Picture Quote #1

I don’t laugh that much, but I do like humorous books, and I like to entertain readers that way Picture Quote #1

Once I start reading something, I can’t stop. I obsessively read, which is a problem with long books! Picture Quote #1

Plot is tremendously important to me: I can’t stand books where nothing happens, and I can’t imagine ever writing a novel without at least one murder Picture Quote #1

I hope in my books I help children to see their strengths, and show them I have some idea of what they may occasionally be going through. Especially at tricky moments when it is easier to go back and evade things rather than go forwards and confront them Picture Quote #1

Life isn’t so complicated for children. They have more time to think about the really important things. That’s why I occasionally moralise in my children’s books in a way I wouldn’t dare when writing for adults Picture Quote #1

I think of my books now as suspense novels, usually with a love story incorporated. They’re absolutely a lot harder to write than romances. They take more plotting and real character development Picture Quote #1

Fame, money and the size of the market are not very important to me. What is, is writing a book that is worth doing and then publishing it. I don’t write books for entertainment, for people to pass the time then throw away Picture Quote #1

So, whenever I’m writing, I’m writing in the presence of all the other books I’ve read and I think we all are Picture Quote #1

My favorite books are a constantly changing list, but one favorite has remained constant: the dictionary. Is the word I want to use spelled practice or practise? The dictionary knows. The dictionary also slows down my writing because it is such interesting reading that I am distracted Picture Quote #1

For me, books have always been a way to feel less alone while being alone. Perhaps if I was depressed and isolated, just communicating with these authors through their sentences helped me Picture Quote #1

I don’t think I would do better books if I wrote full time. I write for amateurish reasons Picture Quote #1

When I was growing up the publishing world seemed so far away. When my mother wrote a book, she would look up the address of publishers on the backs of the books she owned and send off her manuscript Picture Quote #1

Ultimately, there’s always been a link between comic books and video games, and comic books and movies, and then basically all three steadily becoming this sort of transmedia Picture Quote #1
