I think that one possible definition of our modern culture is that it is one in which nine tenths of our intellectuals can't read any poetry Picture Quote #1

However many holy words you read, however many you speak, what good will they do you if you do not act on upon them? Picture Quote #1

I wrote a novel for my degree, and I'm very happy I didn't submit that to a publisher. I sympathize with my professors who had to read it Picture Quote #1

In my opinion we learn nothing from history except the infinite variety of men's behaviour. We study it, as we listen to music or read poetry, for pleasure, not for instruction Picture Quote #1

Action is greater than writing. A good man is a nobler object of contemplation than a great author. There are but two things worth living for: to do what is worthy of being written; and to write what is worthy of being read Picture Quote #1

Read the best books first, or you may not have a chance to read them at all Picture Quote #1

Who of you appreciate the galling humiliation, the refinements of degradation, to which women... Are subject, in this the last half of the nineteenth century? How many of you have ever read even the laws concerning them that now disgrace your statute books? In cruelty and tyranny, they are not surpassed by any slave holding code in the Southern States Picture Quote #1

We read deeply for varied reasons, most of them familiar: that we cannot know enough people profoundly enough; that we need to know ourselves better; that we require knowledge, not just of self and others, but of the way things are Picture Quote #1

Another woman approached me while I was having lunch at the Russian Tea Room in New York and told me that the reason she had become a lawyer was because she had read 'Rage of Angels'. To me, that kind of feedback has more meaning than any sales figures Picture Quote #1

My dad's got a brilliant eye for scripts 'cos he's a literary agent. He and my agent read a load of scripts and filter them Picture Quote #1

As much as I would love to be a person that goes to parties and has a couple of drinks and has a nice time, that doesn't work for me. I'd just rather sit at home and read, or go out to dinner with someone, or talk to someone I love, or talk to somebody that makes me laugh Picture Quote #1

I sort of try to read the books when they come out impartially and not make up my mind, but the fact is when I was reading the sixth, 'Harry Potter and the Half - Blood Prince', there were bits in there where I was going, 'God, I would love to do that because it's so good' Picture Quote #1
