Text Quotes
Whenever I feel bad, I go to the library and read controversial periodicals. Though I do not know whether I am a liberal or a conservative, I am nevertheless enlivened by the hatred which one bears the other. In fact, this hatred strikes me as one of the few signs of life remaining in the world  (Read Quotes) I want to build you a house with my bare hands and carry you over the threshold. I want too cook for you every evening and bring you tea in bed in the mornings. I want to read with you in front of an open fire, sipping a glass of wine. I want to drive you to the beach and lie next to you in the sun. I may not be a man of means, bit I want to take care of you as best I can  (Read Quotes) Today at school I will learn to read at once; then tomorrow I will begin to write, and the day after tomorrow to cipher. Then with my acquirements I will earn a great deal of money, and with the first money I have in my pocket I will immediately buy for my papa a beautiful new cloth coat. But what am I saying? Cloth, indeed! It shall be all made of gold and silver, and it shall have diamond buttons. That poor man really deserves it; for to buy me books and to have me taught he has remained in his shirt sleeves... And in this cold! It is only fathers who are capable of such sacrifices!  (Read Quotes) I never read to kill time. Killing time is like killing someone’s wife or a child. There is nothing more precious for me than time  (Read Quotes) Some readers read a book as if it were an instruction manual, expecting to understand everything first time, but of course when you write, you put into every sentence an overflow of meaning, and you create in every sentence as many resonances and double meanings and ambiguities as you can possibly pack in there, so that people can read it again and get something new each time  (Read Quotes) Hardly anyone about whom I deeply care at all resembles anyone else I have ever met, or heard of, or read about in literature  (Read Quotes) How can we judge fairly of the characters and merits of men, of the wisdom or folly of actions, unless we have... an accurate knowledge of all particulars, so that we may live as it were in the times, and among the persons, of whom we read, see with their eyes, and reason and decide on their premises?  (Read Quotes) Electronic books are ideal for people who value the information contained in them, or who have vision problems, or who like to read on the subway, or who do not want other people to see how they are amusing themselves, or who have storage and clutter issues, but they are useless for people who are engaged in an intense, lifelong love affair with books. Books that we can touch; books that we can smell; books that we can depend on  (Read Quotes) The stars had only one task: they taught me how to read. They taught me I had a language in heaven and another language on earth  (Read Quotes) It was like we were exchanging codes, on how to be a father and a daughter, like we’d read about it in a manual, translated from another language, and were doing our best with what we could understand  (Read Quotes) I was once told by someone wise that writing is perilous as you cannot always guarantee your words will be read in the spirit in which they were written  (Read Quotes) I understood we used to be close. But they were like books I’d read two summer ago; I knew I’d liked them, but I couldn’t tell you now what they’d been about  (Read Quotes) He needed fresh air and sunshine. A walk in the woods and afterward a good book to read by the fire. Yeah, that was the life  (Read Quotes) ... nothing could be more pleasant than to live in solitude, enjoy the spectacle of nature, and occasionally read some book  (Read Quotes) Not having anything around to read is dangerous: you have to content yourself with life itself, and that can lead you to take risks  (Read Quotes) She could not read a book for fear of the feelings she might find in it  (Read Quotes) The book was in her lap; she had read no further. The power to change one’s life comes from a paragraph, a lone remark. The lines that penetrate us are slender, like the flukes that live in river water and enter the bodies of swimmers. She was excited, filled with strength. The polished sentences had arrived, it seemed, like so many other things, at just the right time. How can we imagine what our lives should be without the illumination of the lives of others?  (Read Quotes) Why should I be polished and improved like goods for sale? I might not even want to marry! And besides, I have many skills. I can read and write and play the flute and harp. Why should I change to please some man? If he doesn’t like me the way I am, then he can get some other girl for his wife  (Read Quotes) I read books when I was a kid, lots of books. Books always seemed like magic to me. They took you to the most amazing places. When I got older, I realized I couldn’t find books that took me to all the places I wanted to go. To go to those places, I had to write some books myself  (Read Quotes) Will you lie to me and promise to read them? Books need to be read. The pages need to be turned  (Read Quotes) I am a book also, words and thoughts and stories held together by flesh. We open and close ourselves to the world. We are read by others or put away by them. We wait to be seen, sitting quietly on shelves for someone to bother having a look inside us  (Read Quotes) We are all refugees from our childhoods. And so we turn, among other things, to stories. To write a story, to read a story, is to be a refugee from the state of refugees. Writers and readers seek a solution to the problem that time passes, that those who have gone are gone and those who will go, which is to say every one of us, will go. For there was a moment when anything was possible. And there will be a moment when nothing is possible. But in between we can create  (Read Quotes) Beauty breeds beauty, truth triggers truth. The cure for writer’s block is therefore to read  (Read Quotes) He liked to read with the silence and the golden color of the whiskey as his companions. He liked food, people, talk, but reading was an inexhaustible pleasure. What the joys of music were to others, words on a page were to him  (Read Quotes) Have you ever given someone a book you enjoyed enormously, with a feeling of envy because they were about to read it for the first time, an experience you could never have again?  (Read Quotes) Manga is a very entertaining cultural form, made of many totally different genres. Don’t restrict yourself with a single style of manga. I would be delighted to be your springboard, but try to read as much as you can in order to branch out!  (Read Quotes) If you don’t have the time to read, you don’t have the time or the tools to write  (Read Quotes) It’s in being read that a book becomes a book, and in each of a million different readings a book become one of a million different books  (Read Quotes) Perhaps our deepest love is already inscribed within us, so its object doesn’t create a new word but instead allows us to read the one written  (Read Quotes) Mothers are legendary for being able to read the thoughts of their children at just the right moment  (Read Quotes)
