Text Quotes
A long time ago, I read in a book that a woman’s homeland is wherever she fell in love  (Read Quotes) Do they sense it, these dead writers, when their books are read? Does a pinprick of light appear in their darkness? Is their soul stirred by the feather touch of another mind reading theirs? I do hope so  (Read Quotes) ... she felt about reading what some writers felt about writing: that it was impossible not to do it and that at this late stage of her life she had been chosen to read as others were chosen to write  (Read Quotes) We read five words on the first page of a really good novel and we begin to forget that we are reading printed words on a page; we begin to see images  (Read Quotes) When I cannot read, when I cannot think, when I cannot even pray, I can trust  (Read Quotes) As you read my stories of long ago I hope you will remember that things truly worthwhile and that will give you happiness are the same now as they were then. It is not the things you have that make you happy. It is love and kindness and helping each other and just plain being good  (Read Quotes) Norah looked at her son’s tiny face, surprised, as always, by his name. he had not grown into it yet, he still wore it like a wrist band, something that might easily slip off and disappear. She had read about people – where? she could not remember this either – who refused to name their children for several weeks, feeling them to be not yet of the earth, suspended still between two worlds  (Read Quotes) There’ll be times when the only refuge is books. Then you’ll read as if you meant it, as if your life depended on it  (Read Quotes) Books. They are lined up on shelves or stacked on a table. There they are wrapped up in there jackets, lines of neat print on nicely bound pages. They look like such orderly, static things. Then you, the reader come along. You open the book jacket, and it can be like opening the gates to an unknown city, or opening the lid of a treasure chest. You read the first word and you’re off on a journy of exploration and discovery  (Read Quotes) The more I write, the more I’ve come to realize that books have a different place in our society than other media. Books are different from television or film because they ask you to finish the project. You have to be actively engaged to read a book. It’s more like a blueprint. What it really is, is an opportunity... A book is a place where you’re forced to use your imagination. I find it disappointing that you’re not being asked to imagine more  (Read Quotes) He would talk to them of stories and books, and explain to them how stories wanted to be told and books wanted to be read, and how everything that they ever needed to know about life and the land of which he wrote, or about any land or realm that they could imagine, was contained in books. And some of the children understood, and some did not  (Read Quotes) Books have their idiosyncrasies as well as people, and will not show me their full beauties unless the place and time in which they are read suits them  (Read Quotes) As she read, at peace with the world and happy as only a little girl could be with a fine book and a little bowl of candy, and all alone in the house, the leaf shadows shifted and the afternoon passed  (Read Quotes) When you read to a child, when you put a book in a child’s hands, you are bringing that child news of the infinitely varied nature of life. You are an awakener  (Read Quotes) One day I would have all the books in the world, shelves and shelves of them. I would live my life in a tower of books. I would read all day long and eat peaches. And if any young knights in armor dared to come calling on their white chargers and plead with me to let down my hair, I would pelt them with peach pits until they went home  (Read Quotes) He read it for the same reason an animal tears at a wounded foot: to hurt the pain  (Read Quotes) The more you read, the better you get, the more better you get, the more you like it; and the more you like it, the more you do it  (Read Quotes) There’s nothing wrong with reading a book you love over and over. When you do, the words get inside you, become a part of you, in a way that words in a book you’ve read only once can’t  (Read Quotes) You can never get to a person’s mind. You cannot know the different deeds and missions of happiness; you can’t tell a screm of pleasure from one of pain. Sometimes, we can barely read pain. Neither a barometer nor a guide, pain can mislead us. Even in the body, the laws of chain reactions can be false. This is why people always want a second opinion  (Read Quotes) I’ve read there is no such thing as a single tear, that old poetic trope. And perhaps there isn’t, since hers was simply a companion to my own  (Read Quotes) The internet was supposed to liberate knowledge, but in fact it buried it, first under a vast sewer of ignorance, laziness, bigotry, superstition and filth and then beneath the cloak of political surveillance. Now... cyberspace exists exclusively to promote commerce, gossip and pornography. And of course to hunt down sedition. Only paper is safe. Books are the key. A book cannot be accessed from afar, you have to hold it, you have to read it  (Read Quotes) The more you read, the more you want to know, and so the more questions you have  (Read Quotes) Who wants to be used? I love to read, so books are my main friends. They’re always available, always friendly, and always interesting, and they never make me choose sides  (Read Quotes) The great authors were great readers, and one way to understand them is to read the books they read  (Read Quotes) A map says to you. Read me carefully, follow me closely, doubt me not... I am the earth in the palm of your hand  (Read Quotes) If I wasn’t an actress I’d want to be a writer or else find a job where I got to read books and watch movies all day, everyday, for the rest of my life  (Read Quotes) Maybe you’re one of those people who writes poems, but rarely reads them. Let me put this as delicately as I can: If you don’t read, your writing is going to suck  (Read Quotes) All you have to do to educate a child is leave him alone and teach him to read. The rest is brainwashing  (Read Quotes) What had happened was this. When still young, I had gotten the idea from somewhere that I might be able to write... Maybe the deadly notion came from liking to read so much. Maybe I was in love with the image of being a writer. Whatever. It had been a really bad idea. Because I couldn’t write, at least not by the bluntly and frequently expressed standards of anyone in a position to offer any encouragement and feedback  (Read Quotes) No fiction is worth reading except for entertainment. If it entertains and is clean, it is good literature, or its kind. If it forms the habit of reading, in people who might not read otherwise, it is the best literature  (Read Quotes)
