Books Quotes

So many of my books, I don’t want to say they have messages, but they have important things to say Picture Quote #1

Early on I came to realize something, and it came from the mail I received from kids. That is, kids at that pivotal age, 12, 13 or 14, they’re still deeply affected by what they read, some are changed by what they read, books can change the way they feel about the world in general. I don’t think that’s true of adults as much Picture Quote #1

I don’t read young adult or children’s books, now that my grandchildren are beyond the age of my reading to them. I read reviews, and so I’m aware of what’s out there. But I tend not to read the books Picture Quote #1

I don’t ever write with a particular audience in mind. I just write books that please me Picture Quote #1

Write comic books if you love comic books so much that you want to write them. Don’t write them like movies. Comics can do a lot of things that movies can’t do, and vice versa Picture Quote #1

It’s rare that I read more than two or three books by any one author; usually only one Picture Quote #1

A lot of the time writers are just sponges... for what’s around them, and so books are helpful for focusing your mind and literally putting it into words Picture Quote #1

People really want to set up these rivalries because there’s a lot of vampire books out there. People want to believe we’re all fierce rivals, and really there’s just so much camaraderie with authors. Everyone kind of boosts each other Picture Quote #1

I read a lot of comic books and any kind of thing I could find. One day, a teacher found me. She grabbed my comic book and tore it up. I was really upset, but then she brought in a pile of books from her own library. That was the best thing that ever happened to me Picture Quote #1

Personally I don’t like it when writers become excessively proscriptive about the way that people read their books Picture Quote #1

I have different books for different times of the day, let alone different seasons of the year! Picture Quote #1

I’d like to do something involving jazz. But books are how I earn my living, and I’d like to stay with the horse I rode in on Picture Quote #1

I try hard and aim big. People can hate or love my books but they can never accuse me of not trying Picture Quote #1

I think to be writer you have to enjoy being alone. I was a loner as a teenager and was always drawn to characters in books and films who were at the fringes Picture Quote #1

I’ve yet to find the exact word to describe the enjoyment that an evening spent riffling through old pattern books can bring Picture Quote #1

Books aren’t just my defenses, the sandbags I use to fortify my position; they are also the building blocks of my soul, and I am the sum of all I read Picture Quote #1

All of the disparate books on my list contain characters, scenes or voices that linger long past the last page of their stories Picture Quote #1

What if most of the technologies readers and cinemagoers are presented with in bestselling books and blockbuster movies are not science fiction, but science fact? What if they currently exist on the planet, but are suppressed from the masses? Picture Quote #1

As far as I’m concerned, I’m a writer who’s writing books, and therefore, I don’t want to die. You’d miss the end of the book, wouldn’t you? You can’t die with an unfinished book Picture Quote #1

My books may highlight corruption, brutality and venality, but they also show that if these things come to light, there is rectification. The voiceless do have a voice; democratic mechanisms and accountability do exist Picture Quote #1

Read for fun, read for information, read in order to understand yourself and other people with quite different ideas. Learn about the world beyond your door. Learn to be compassionate and grow in wisdom. Books can help us in all these ways Picture Quote #1

Children have to have access to books, and a lot of children can’t go to a store and buy a book. We need not only our public libraries to be funded properly and staffed properly, but our school libraries. Many children can’t get to a public library, and the only library they have is a school library Picture Quote #1

I think if a book has the power to move a reader, it also has the power to offend a reader. And you want your books to have power, so you just have to take what comes with that Picture Quote #1

I breathed the air of deliverance through books, and through books I leapt over the walls of confinement Picture Quote #1

I write four books a year. I’m very fortunate that I write quickly; around 3,500 words a day. Being strict about delineating my writing time and personal life, as well as keeping distractions at bay, is the only way I can accomplish this Picture Quote #1

I write because I want to end my loneliness. Books make people less alone. That, before and after everything else, is what books do. They show us that conversations are possible across distances Picture Quote #1

The way I feel about every book is this: you don’t finish it, you abandon it. All of my books have in some sense failed, otherwise I wouldn’t write another one. If I wrote the perfect book, I wouldn’t have to write again, and I wouldn’t want to. That’s not true for everyone, but it’s true for me. I could walk away then. But so far I haven’t managed to do it Picture Quote #1

I realized then that I didn’t understand anything. I read all the books I could Picture Quote #1

I love books, and all the best ones are people analysing their own emotions. You can learn from that Picture Quote #1

To live in the world without becoming aware of the meaning of the world is like wandering about in a great library without touching the books. It has always seemed to me that symbolism should be restored to the structure of world education. The young are no longer invited to seek the hidden truths, dynamic and eternal, locked within the shapes and behavior of living beings Picture Quote #1
