Read Quotes

I don’t remember when exactly I read my first comic book, but I do remember exactly how liberated and subversive I felt as a result Picture Quote #1

Because when I read, I don’t really read; I pop a beautiful sentence into my mouth and suck it like a fruit drop, or I sip it like a liqeur until the thought dissolves in me like alcohol, infusing brain and heart and coursing on through the veins to the root of each blood vessel Picture Quote #1

Create dangerously, for people who read dangerously... Writing, knowing in part that no matter how trivial your words may seem, someday, somewhere, someone may risk his or her life to read them Picture Quote #1

The appeal of reading, she thought, lay in its indifference: there was something undeferring about literature. Books did not care who was reading them or whether one read them or not. All readers were equal, herself included. Literature, she thought, is a commonwealth; letters a republic Picture Quote #1

I read because I have to. It drives everything else from my mind. It lets me escape to find other world Picture Quote #1

It looks too new and pristine ever to have been read by anyone else, but it has been: it keeps falling open at the most delightful places as the ghost of its former owner points me to things I’ve never read before Picture Quote #1

And for at least that moment, I wouldn’t have traded the hundreds of books I’ve read for the few I know almost by heart Picture Quote #1

I have read somewhere that we often spend a lifetime searching for what we already have Picture Quote #1

We read, frequently if not unknowingly, in search of a mind more original than our own Picture Quote #1

A book is a collaboration between the one who reads and what is read and, at its best, that coming together is a love story like any other Picture Quote #1

Any room in our house at any time in the day was there to read in or to be read to Picture Quote #1

I used to think I was the strangest person in the world but then I thought there are so many people in the world, there must be someone just like me who feels bizarre and flawed in the same ways I do. I would imagine her, and imagine that she must be out there thinking of me too. Well, I hope that if you are out there and read this and know that, yes, it’s true I’m here, and I’m just as strange as you Picture Quote #1

For all the books in his possession, he still failed to read the stories written plain as day in the faces of the people around him Picture Quote #1

We do not read in order to turn great works of fiction into simplistic replicas of our own realities, we read for the pure, sensual, and unadulterated pleasure of reading. And if we do so, our reward is the discovery of the many hidden layers within these works that do not merely reflect reality but reveal a spectrum of truths, thus intrinsically going against the grain of totalitarian mindsets Picture Quote #1

Books are the key. A book cannot be accessed from afar. You have to hold it, you have to read it Picture Quote #1

I could lay here and read all night. I am not able to fall asleep without reading. You have the time when your brain has nothing to do so it rambles. I fool my brain out of that by making it read until it shuts off. I just think it is best to do something right up until you fall asleep Picture Quote #1

The name of the author is the first to go followed obediently by the title, the plot, the heartbreaking conclusion, the entire novel which suddenly becomes one you have never read, never even heard of, as if, one by one, the memories you used to harbor decided to retire to the southern hemisphere of the brain, to a little fishing village where there are no phones Picture Quote #1

By observing natural scientific discoveries through a perception deepened by meditation, we can develop a new awareness of reality. This awareness could become the bedrock of a spirituality that is not based on the dogmas of a given religion, but on insights into a higher and deeper meaning. I am referring to the ability to recognize, to read, and to understand the firsthand revelations Picture Quote #1

You can be too rich and too thin, but you can never be too well read or too curious about the world Picture Quote #1

She’d read once that if you ran into a bear in the woods you should avoid eye contact and you shouldn’t run away, but all she knew about wolves is that you should never tell them how to find your grandmother’s house Picture Quote #1

I wanted to read immediately. The only fear was that of books coming to an end Picture Quote #1

A nation that does not read much does not know much. And a nation that does not know much is more likely to make poor choices in the home, the marketplace, the jury box, and the voting booth. And those decisions ultimately affect the entire nation... the literate and illiterate Picture Quote #1

Whenever anyone declares having read a book of mine I am disappointed by the error. That’s because my books are not to be read in the sense usually called reading: the only way it seems to me to approach the novels that I write is to catch them in the same manner that one catches an illness Picture Quote #1

It’s against my principles to buy a book I haven’t read, it’s like buying a dress you haven’t tried on Picture Quote #1

For once, his vampire expression failed him. His response was right there on his face, in full view and easily read. He went from surprise to disbelief then hope and sheer, utter joy all within a split second of each other, then he let loose a huge whoop of delight and swept me into his arms, hugging me fiercely Picture Quote #1

If you are reading in order to become a better reader, you cannot read just any book or article. You will not improve as a reader if all you read are books that are well within your capacity. You must tackle books that are beyond you, or, as we have said, books that are over your head. Only books of that sort will make you stretch your mind. And unless you stretch, you will not learn Picture Quote #1

She snatched at the dream that had comforted her for so long. It was faded and thin, like a letter too often read Picture Quote #1

I have always been a reader; I have read at every stage of my life and there has never been a time when reading was not my greatest joy. And yet I cannot pretend that the reading I have done in my adult years matches in its impact on my soul the reading I did as a child. I still believe in stories. I still forget myself when I am in the middle of a good book. Yet it is not the same Picture Quote #1

I already read everything. I read poems and plays and novels and newspapers and comic books and magazines. I read tins in supermarkets and leaflets that come through the door, unsolicited mail. None of it lasts long and it doesn’t give me answers. Reading too fast is not soothing Picture Quote #1

Well you can’t believe everything you read. After all, by definition, fiction writers lie for a living Picture Quote #1
