Books Quotes

I want to do something important in my life, and I think that adding beauty to the world with books... really is important Picture Quote #1

I hope children will be happy with the books I’ve written, and go on to be readers all of their lives Picture Quote #1

That is sad until one recalls how many bad books the world may yet be spared because of the busyness of writers Picture Quote #1

I like to be aware of a book as a piece of writing, and aware of its structure as a product of mind, and yet I want to be able to see the represented world through it.

This morning I looked at the books on my shelves and thought that they have no knowledge of my existence. They come to life because I open them and turn their pages, and yet they don’t know that I am their reader Picture Quote #1

When I’m following what a character does in a book I don’t have to think about my own life. Where I am. Why I’m here. My moms and my brother and my old man. I can just think about the character’s life and try and figure out what’s gonna happen. Plus when you’re in a group home you pretty much can’t go anywhere, right? But when you read books you almost feel like you’re out there in the world. Like you’re going on this adventure right with the main character. At least, that’s the way I do it. It’s actually not that bad. Even if it is mad nerdy Picture Quote #1

What you believe someone else can or can’t do hasn’t got beans with the doing. Or lack of doing. Just go back through your history books and you’ll discover that just about everything you take for granted today in your daily lives was absolutely impossible not so many years ago Picture Quote #1

Books and music saved me as a teenager because it was through them that I realized that I wasn’t alone in my obsessive love for words and music Picture Quote #1

I don’t actually talk about my books much, because I find if I talk about them I don’t want to write them anymore. I write to find out what happens. You know how you read a book? That’s what I’m doing except I’m just doing it a lot slower because it takes a lot longer to do Picture Quote #1

My theory about writing is that one should write books you’d like to read, but no one else has written yet. So, as long as I stick with that, I’m entertaining myself, and then hopefully my readers as well. I hope to God I realize that I’m repeating myself, if I ever do. But if I don’t, I’m sure my readers will let me know Picture Quote #1

One cannot celebrate books sufficiently. After saying his best, still something better remains to be spoken in their praise. As with friends, one finds new beauties at every interview, and would stay long in the presence of those choice companions. As with friends, he may dispense with a wide acquaintance. Few and choice. The richest minds need not large libraries Picture Quote #1

Of books in our time the variety is so voluminous, and they follow so fast from the press, that one must be a swift reader to acquaint himself even with their titles, and wise to discern what are worth reading Picture Quote #1

The books that charmed us in youth recall the delight ever afterwards; we are hardly persuaded there are any like them, any deserving our equal affections Picture Quote #1

How hard is it to build an intelligent machine? I don’t think it’s so hard, but that’s my opinion, and I’ve written two books on how I think one should do it. The basic idea I promote is that you mustn’t look for a magic bullet. You mustn’t look for one wonderful way to solve all problems. Instead you want to look for 20 or 30 ways to solve different kinds of problems. And to build some kind of higher administrative device that figures out what kind of problem you have and what method to use Picture Quote #1

The easiest books are generally the best; for, whatever author is obscure and difficult in his own language, certainly does not think clearly Picture Quote #1

I know many books which have bored their readers, but I know of none which has done real evil Picture Quote #1

We still have books because they are so brilliantly suited to the way human beings absorb information and at their best, they are among the most beautiful things we have Picture Quote #1

My advice to whoever asks me how to make a home is to not have anything, just a few shelves for books, some pillows to sit on. And then, to take a stand against the ephemeral, against passing trends... and to return to lasting values Picture Quote #1

The grave’s a fine and quiet place but none I think do finish their books from there Picture Quote #1
