Text Quotes
My love of pleasure seems to be the only consistent side of my character. Is it because I have not read enough?  (Read Quotes) I never wore glasses except when I had to read a teleprompter at an awards show or drive, so I didn’t notice much. I could exist in my head. It was kind of my escape from the world and my protection  (Read Quotes) Fascination with horses predated every other single thing I knew. Before I was a mother, before I was a writer, before I knew the facts of life, before I was a schoolgirl, before I learned to read, I wanted a horse  (Read Quotes) It’s a cinch that if you read it in an occult periodical or paperback, everyone’s doing it. That should be your cue to avoid such stuff, lest you be relegated to the same readership level  (Read Quotes) We keep quiet about what we read. Our enjoyment of a book remains a jealously guarded secret. Perhaps because there’s no need to talk, or because it takes time to distill what we’ve read before we can say anything. Silence is our guarantee of intimacy. We might have finished reading but we’re still living the book  (Read Quotes) We human beings build houses because we’re alive but we write books because we’re mortal. We live in groups because we’re sociable but we read because we know we’re alone. Reading offers a kind of companionship that takes no one’s place but that no one can replace either. It offers no definitive explanation of our destiny but links us inextricably to life. Its tiny secret links remind us of how paradoxically happy we are to be alive while illuminating how tragically absurd life is  (Read Quotes) People never explain to you exactly what they think and feel and how their thoughts and feelings work, do they? They don’t have time. Or the right words. But that’s what books do. It’s as though your daily life is a film in the cinema. It can be fun, looking at those pictures. But if you want to know what lies behind the flat screen you have to read a book. That explains it all  (Read Quotes) I despair of ever getting it through anybody’s head I am not interested in bookshops, I am interested in what’s written in the books. I don’t browse in bookshops, I browse in libraries, where you can take a book home and read it, and if you like it you go to a bookshop and buy it  (Read Quotes) I recently forced myself to read a book on quantum physics, just to try and learn something new. I was confused by the middle of the first sentence and it all went downhill from there. The only thing I can remember learning is that a parallel universe can theoretically be contained on the head of a needle. I don’t really know what that means, but I am now more careful handling needles  (Read Quotes) Generally speaking, books don’t cause much harm. Except when you read them, that is. Then they cause all kinds of problems  (Read Quotes) Why can’t people just sit and read books and be nice to each other?  (Read Quotes) Warning: Do not read this story right after eating. In fact, don’t read it right before eating either. In fact, just to be safe, don’t read this story if you’re ever planning to eat again  (Read Quotes) He had no settled plan of life, nor looked forward at all, but merely lived from day to day. Yet he read a great deal in a desultory manner, without any scheme of study, as chance threw books in his way, and inclination directed him through them  (Read Quotes) The library in summer is the most wonderful thing because there you get books on any subject and read them each for only as long as they hold your interest, abandoning any that don’t, halfway or a quarter of the way through if you like, and store up all that knowledge in the happy corners of your mind for your own self and not to show off how much you know or spit it back at your teacher on a test paper  (Read Quotes) If you ever read one of my books I hope you’ll think it looks so easy. In fact, I wrote those chapters 20 times over, and over, and over, and that if you want to write at a good level, you’ll have to do that too  (Read Quotes) I am a recluse at present and do nothing but write and read and read and write  (Read Quotes) Diana felt she was beginning to understand why, in all those novels she read, the headiest loves were the loves that couldn’t be  (Read Quotes) There’s always time to read. Don’t trust a writer who doesn’t read. It’s like eating food prepared by a cook who doesn’t eat  (Read Quotes) Sometimes you read a passage by a great writer, and you know what he says and how he says it will always be, for you, the only possible way it could be. Less often a painter will describe an event in a way that fits into your interpretation of that event so perfectly that it becomes the event itself  (Read Quotes) He was going through one of those moments that you read about in books, when a character reacts in an unexpectedly extreme way to the normal discontents of living  (Read Quotes) Those who love life do not read. Nor do they go to the movies, actually. No matter what might be said, access to the artistic universe is more or less entirely the preserve of those who are a little fed up with the world  (Read Quotes) Emily said... Well, I read that it’s important to sleep. While you sleep, the hippopotamus in your brain replays things that happend during the day, e.g. what you studied. So therefore it remembers it for you  (Read Quotes) It’s true this world our breathing laboured inspires nothing more than obvious disgust a desire to flee without our share and no longer read the headlines we long to return to our ancestral home where our forebears once lived under an angel’s wing we long to find that strange morality which sanctified life to the end we crave something like loyalty like the embrace of mild addictions something that transcends yet contains life we cannot live far from eternity  (Read Quotes) When people look at my pictures I want them to feel the way they do when they want to read a line of a poem twice  (Read Quotes) For to sit in a room full of books, and remember the stories they told you, and to know precisely where each one is located and what was happening in your life at time or where you were when you first read it is the languid and distilled pleasure of the connoisseur  (Read Quotes) Covers, so many covers, so many different, delectable pictures, and although, metaphorically speaking, it is the thing I hate most, when it comes to literature I always judge books by their covers. First the cover will catch my eye, then I read the back of the book, and then finally the first page  (Read Quotes) The books of our childhood offer a vivid door to our own pasts, and not necessarily for the stories we read there, but for the memories of where we were and who we were when we were reading them; to remember a book is to remember the child who read that book  (Read Quotes) Sometimes I read the same books over and over and over. What’s great about books is that the stuff inside doesn’t change. People say you can’t judge a book by its cover but that’s not true because it says right on the cover what’s inside. And no matter how many times you read that book the words and pictures don’t change. You can open and close books a million times and they stay the same. They look the same. They say the same words. The charts and pictures are the same colors. Books are not like people. Books are safe  (Read Quotes) I love the book legacy of lies it amazing and is fun to read over and over again  (Read Quotes) We read each other through our eyes, and anatomically they are an extension of our brains. When we catch someone’s eye, we look into a mind  (Read Quotes)
