Read Quotes

There are three things you need to be a good writer: you need to read a lot, you need to write a lot, and you need a lot of feedback Picture Quote #1

That’s the thing about a great book. Every time you read it, it’s different, because you’re different. You’ve changed since the last time you picked it up, things have happened to you Picture Quote #1

Rather than regret for what I have written, I feel regret for what I shall never be able to read Picture Quote #1

When you read, don’t just consider what the author thinks, consider what you think Picture Quote #1

One can take a neon tube and simply paint it black on the front. So it would read as a black letter or a line, but it would also read as neon because there would be light coming from behind that black letter Picture Quote #1

Every writer I admire is my teacher. If you look at it, and if you care to read carefully enough and to read and reread a text, you teach yourself something about craft Picture Quote #1

Education is not simply to learn to read and write. It’s emancipation. It makes you free Picture Quote #1

Students read for tests and because their parents ask them to, but I think it’s very important to tell children that you can read for fun, too, and to understand human spirit. It builds empathy Picture Quote #1

A book is a book only when it is read; otherwise it is a bundle of gathered sheets of soiled paper Picture Quote #1

Thank you industrialization. Thank you steel mill. Thank you power station. And thank you chemical processing industry that gave us time to read books Picture Quote #1

How does a weaker minority dominate a physically superior majority? In my research I learned that this is accomplished by destroying the slave’s mind. More effective than whips and guns was the simple act of outlawing the teaching of slaves to read and to write Picture Quote #1

Humor is the oxygen of children’s literature. There’s a lot of competition for children’s time, but even kids who hate to read want to read a funny book Picture Quote #1

Make sure your characters are worth spending ten hours with. That’s how long it takes to read a book. Reading a book is like being trapped in a room for ten hours with those characters. Think of your main characters as dinner guests. Would your friends want to spend ten hours with the characters you’ve created? Your characters can be loveable, or they can be evil, but they’d better be compelling. If not, your reader will be bored and leave Picture Quote #1

I learned to write from authors. I didn’t know any, but I read their books Picture Quote #1

Animals can always read your vibration, and if you are intent on empowering your life, they will often gift you by making special melodies of sound to balance your chakras and tune up your body Picture Quote #1

If I had a dollar for every time I couldn’t sleep, I could buy a billion locks and finally read a book in peace Picture Quote #1

The time to read is any time: no apparatus, no appointment of time and place, is necessary Picture Quote #1

The fruit we wish to pick tomorrow lies hidden in the seed of today. The goals we are to read and the problems we are to solve tomorrow depend upon today’s diligence, hope and faith, today’s conviction of the almightiness of good Picture Quote #1

You find actually over the years that you get attributed with a lot of things you didn’t do and you don’t get reported on a lot of things you did do and I must say, when I read some of these things I wonder where the journalists get them from. They generally speak to somebody who’s spoken to somebody who was down the back of a pub who heard the barman say, and gradually finds its way into magazines or articles but no, that’s not the case Picture Quote #1

Nothing beats love. Love is the greatest healing power there is; nothing else comes close. Not ancient cures, modern medicines and technologies, or all the interesting books we read or the wise things we say and think. Love has a transformational power Picture Quote #1

My whole thing is that I want to explore why you read books, what’s the purpose of reading, and maybe that it’s not that cool to hate something just because it’s popular Picture Quote #1

If I don’t like someone and I start reading their stuff, it seems like my brain will just automatically start criticizing everything that’s there. It’s really hard to read a book without having all this outside information telling you what to think about it Picture Quote #1

My love life is nobody’s business... if I give it to 40 million people to read, what do I have left when I go home? I’m protective of my personal life that way Picture Quote #1

My mother would read aloud to my father and me in the evening. She read mainly travel books Picture Quote #1

I have many creative outlets. I sing, I like music, I like art, I paint, I draw. I like buying art. I read a lot, too. I love books. And I’m working on a clothing line, too Picture Quote #1

In early life I had felt a strong desire to devote myself to the experimental study of nature; and, happening to see a glass containing some camphor, portions of which had been caused to condense in very beautiful crystals on the illuminated side, I was induced to read everything I could obtain respecting the chemical and mechanical influences of light, adhesion, and capillary attraction Picture Quote #1

Two kinds of reading can be distinguished. I call them reading like a reader and reading like a writer... when you read like a reader, you identify with the characters in the story. The story is what you learn about. When you read like a writer, you identify with the author and learn about writing Picture Quote #1

Reading and writing don’t inevitably go together. You can read without learning a thing about writing, grammar, or spelling, although, you certainly can’t learn anything about writing, grammar, or spelling unless you read Picture Quote #1

Everyone should read, we say, but we act as if only those with special talent should write Picture Quote #1

I keep thinking of the gifts of my own upbringing, which I once took for granted: I can read any book I choose and comprehend it. I can write a complete sentence and punctuate it correctly. If I need help, I can call on judges, attorneys, educators, ministers. I wonder what I would be like if I had grown up without such protections and supports. What cracks would have turned up in my character? Picture Quote #1
