Book readers are special people, and they will always turn to books as the ultimate pleasure. Those who do not read are the unfortunate ones. There’s nothing wrong with them; but they are missing out on one of life’s compensations and rewards. A great book is a friend that never lets you down. You can return to it again and again and the joy first derived from it will still be there Picture Quote #1

I read when I get up in the morning, when I can during the day and every single evening. Most of my weekends are spent reading great books. Books are my constant companions. If you eat three times a day you’ll be fed. But if you read three times a day you’ll be wise Picture Quote #1

The world has progressed to the point where it’s most powerful force is public opinion. And I believe that in this world it is not the great book or epic play, as once was the case, that will shape that opinion, but those who understand mass media and the techniques of mass persuasion... We must not just believe in what we sell. We must sell what we believe in. And we must pour a vast energy into those causes Picture Quote #1

I suspect any serious reader has a first great book, just the way anybody has a first kiss Picture Quote #1

I would much rather be known as the mother of a great son than the author of a great book or the painter of a great masterpiece Picture Quote #1

When an editor works with an author, she cannot help seeing into the medicine cabinet of his soul. All the terrible emotions, the desire for vindications, the paranoia, and the projection are bottled in there, along with all the excesses of envy, desire for revenge, all the hypochondriacal responses, rituals, defenses, and the twin obsessions with sex and money. It other words, the stuff of great books Picture Quote #1

That’s the thing about a great book. Every time you read it, it’s different, because you’re different. You’ve changed since the last time you picked it up, things have happened to you Picture Quote #1

Success is not measured by bestseller lists. Certain types of great books sell very well; other types of great books don’t sell a lot. But they’re both great Picture Quote #1

Wisdom is not what comes from reading great books. When it comes to understanding life, experiential learning is the only worthwhile kind, everything else is hearsay Picture Quote #1

I think that the mark of a great book is that it will meet you wherever you’re at and you’ll feel and experience something new and different each time you read it Picture Quote #1

If we marvel at the artist who has written a great book, we must marvel more at those people whose lives are works of art and who don’t even know it, who wouldn’t believe it if they were told. However hard work good writing may be, it is easier than good living Picture Quote #1
