Read Quotes

Don’t try to guess what sort of thing editors want to publish or what you think the country is in a mood to read. Editors and readers don’t know what they want to read until they read it. Besides, they’re always looking for something new Picture Quote #1

It’s very hard to write about that which is always beautiful and pleasant and good. You don’t get anywhere with it. There’s no friction in it. There’s no trouble. You have to have trouble. Somebody’s got to get in trouble, or no one wants to read it Picture Quote #1

The first thing a writer has to do is find another source of income. Then, after you have begged, borrowed, stolen or saved up the money to give you time to write and you spend all of it staying alive while you write, and you write your heart out, after all that, maybe no one will publish it, and if they publish it, maybe no one will read it. That is the hard truth, that is what it means to be a writer Picture Quote #1

A lot of people think that if they learn to read music they are gonna lose their feel or their groove or something. It’s the stupidest thing I have ever heard Picture Quote #1

We’re losing social skills, the human interaction skills, how to read a person’s mood, to read their body language, how to be patient until the moment is right to make or press a point. Too much exclusive use of electronic information dehumanises what is a very, very important part of community life and living together Picture Quote #1

Our busy age does not always have time to read, but it always has time to look Picture Quote #1

There are only two reasons for buying a book, after all. Either we intend to read it, in which case most of us find a printed version preferable, or we don’t intend to read it, in which case a printed version is absolutely essential Picture Quote #1

A tip for generalists who try to read economic research papers: If you get to a section that’s incomprehensible, don’t give up. Just skip to the next section Picture Quote #1

How much there is I want to do! I always feel that I haven’t time to accomplish what I wish. I want to read much. I wanted to write a great deal. I want to make money Picture Quote #1

The truth is that every book we read, like every person we meet, has the capacity to change our lives. And though we can be sure our children will meet people, we must, must create, these days, their chance to meet books Picture Quote #1

A translator is essentially a reader and we all read differently, except that a translator’s reading remains in unchanging print Picture Quote #1

Read the classics one hour every day, drunk or sober. Reading the classics gives one a feeling of confidence. It familiarizes one with the vagaries of life. It shows one that there are really no new plots Picture Quote #1

What’s interesting about songs where the writer is genuinely in love with words is that it’s easy to read the lyrics like a poem Picture Quote #1

At what price do we get our news? The role of economics in defining the nature of contemporary journalism has never been better explained. A valuable, important book for those of us who watch, read, or listen to the news Picture Quote #1

I think you can tell when you meet someone whether they read novels. There’s some hollowness if they don’t Picture Quote #1

The best thing about conceptual poetry is that it doesn’t need to be read. You don’t have to read it. As a matter of fact, you can write books, and you don’t even have to read them. My books, for example, are unreadable. All you need to know is the concept behind them. Here’s every word I spoke for a week. Here’s a year’s worth of weather reports... and without ever having to read these things, you understand them Picture Quote #1

The books that matter to me... are those that galvanize something inside me. I read books to read myself Picture Quote #1

If a writer is honest, if what is at stake for him can seem to matter to his readers, then his work may be read. But a writer will work anyway, as I do, and as I have, in part to explore this terra incognita, this dangerous ground I seem to need to risk Picture Quote #1

Don’t believe everything you hear, don’t believe everything you read and only believe half of what you see Picture Quote #1

To read in bed is to draw around us invisible, noiseless curtains. Then at last we are in a room of our own and are ready to burrow back, back to that private life of the imagination we all led as a child and to whose secret satisfactions so many of us have mislaid the key Picture Quote #1

I can read people, and if the other person doesn’t want to say anything, I’m fine with that. People say things when it’s time to say them Picture Quote #1

Sometimes I feel like I am an old person trapped in a young person’s body. I’m boring. I go to movies. I read. That’s about it Picture Quote #1

Some of the most gifted people I’ve ever met or read about are homosexual. How can you knock it? Picture Quote #1

I haven’t read a newspaper in 20 years. I don’t look at the computer or anything. You have to have a filter on what you let in Picture Quote #1

When you read a book as a child, it becomes a part of your identity in a way that no other reading in your whole life does Picture Quote #1

When I was about 7 years old, I had been labeled dyslexic. I’d try to concentrate on what I was reading, then I’d get to the end of the page and have very little memory of anything I’d read. I would go blank, feel anxious, nervous, bored, frustrated, dumb. I would get angry. My legs would actually hurt when I was studying. My head ached. All through school and well into my career, I felt like I had a secret. When I’d go to a new school, I wouldn’t want the other kids to know about my learning disability, but then I’d be sent off to remedial reading Picture Quote #1

I never did like the idea of sitting on newspapers. I did it once, and all the headlines came off on my white pants. On the level! It actually happened. Nobody bought a paper that day. They just followed me around over town and read the news on the seat of my pants Picture Quote #1

I’d go somewhere where no one spoke. I would take a stack of books up to my hips, and I’d read nonstop. And I’d be reading naked Picture Quote #1

Women have always collected things and saved and recycled them because leftovers yielded nourishment in new forms. The decorative functional objects women made often spoke in a secret language, bore a covert imagery. When we read these images in needlework, in paintings, in quilts, rugs and scrapbooks, we sometimes find a cry for help, sometimes an allusion to a secret political alignment, sometimes a moving symbol about the relationships between men and women Picture Quote #1

I never read the scripts at all carefully and never wanted to know what was going on, because I felt that being a benevolent alien, that’s the way it should be Picture Quote #1
