Read Quotes

She’d like to model or maybe act or star in a magazine. Before she signs any big contracts, she better learn how to read Picture Quote #1

There is no form of prose more difficult to understand and more tedious to read than the average scientific paper Picture Quote #1

I knew how to read a contract by 10 years old, but I didn’t know what it meant for somebody to come in and tell me they loved me and kiss me goodnight. That’s a problem Picture Quote #1

Aeroplane journeys give me quiet time to read and sleep; it’s like being unplugged from the earth Picture Quote #1

I had a mother I could only seem to please with verbal accomplishments of some sort or another. She read constantly, so I read constantly. If I used words that might have seemed surprising at a young age, she would recognize that and it would please her Picture Quote #1

Obviously, in journalism, you’re confined to what happens. And the tendency to embellish, to mythologize, it’s in us. It makes things more interesting, a closer call. But journalism taught me how to write a sentence that would make someone want to read the next one Picture Quote #1

I always tend to see, right after reading the script, the character and how I want to play it. I guess that’s sort of most of the work, preparing for the role, but almost the creation of the character seems to go on as I read through the script Picture Quote #1

I read everything. I’ve always got a book on the go and I’m really nerdy about it, I get through books and don’t remember anything about them afterwards. But I read all sorts, from classic to contemporary Picture Quote #1

To read a character I’m not sympathizing with is generally quite a good, attractive proposition because I’ve got somewhere to go, I’ve got work to do, to try to understand why they behave like they behave, to relate entirely and understand them and to be completely emotionally connected. That is much more fun 99 percent of the time Picture Quote #1

I don’t read music, which is a shame, actually, and I shouldn’t even speak of it because it’s embarrassing, but it’s true Picture Quote #1

The more I read my poems, the more I find out about them. I still read them with the same passion I felt when I wrote them as a young man Picture Quote #1

When it comes to memoir, we want to catch the author in a lie. When we read fiction, we want to catch the author telling the truth Picture Quote #1

I like straightforward names for my characters. When I get too symbolic with names or places, I start feeling like the characters and the story are less read, and I lose interest Picture Quote #1

We don’t genuinely need more literary geniuses. One can only read so many books in a lifetime Picture Quote #1

It’s a rare thing when you read a role and have this immediate ownership over it, you have this take and this connection, and it’s not even that you feel that you’re gonna do a good job, it’s that you feel like you’ve found it. It fits, it’s natural; it’s like putting on a good shoe or something Picture Quote #1

He never ever learned to read or write so well, but he could play his guitar like he was ringing a bell Picture Quote #1

I no longer buy papers or tabloids or magazines or read blogs. I used to. But it was just filling up my day with hatred Picture Quote #1

In my own life, I think legends of supernatural, mythic things are really just a manifestation of the collective unconscious. So I don’t really get freaked out. I mean certainly, you read about things people did to each other in the pursuit of some mystical or occult goal, and it’s horrifying. But that’s just human nature Picture Quote #1

When I go home, the last thing I want to do is read about the popular lore of vampires Picture Quote #1

I would be far more critical than any reviewer could be of my own work. So I simply don’t read them Picture Quote #1

Young gentlemen, who are to display their knowledge to the world, should have every motive of emulation, should be formed into regular classes, should read and dispute together, should have all the honors, and, if one may say so, the pomp of learning set before them, to call up their ardor. It is their business, and they should apply to it as such Picture Quote #1

I’m against people reading statements. When you read statement, I automatically take it as though you can’t talk, and it’s not real Picture Quote #1

While I love to read contemporary fiction, I’m not drawn to writing it. Perhaps it’s because the former journalist in me is too inhibited by the press of reality; when I think about writing of my own time I always think about nonfiction narratives. Or perhaps it’s just that I find the present too confounding Picture Quote #1

I’m a great believer that the most important years are the sort of early years but the preschool years and then into the first and second grades. If you get a good base in the first and second grade and you can read, you can do anything Picture Quote #1

No, I had not read any other comedian’s book. Not that I don’t enjoy other comedians; I’m just not a reader Picture Quote #1

My suggestion to newspapers everywhere is to give the public a reason to read them again. So here’s an idea: get on a big story with widespread public appeal, devote your best resources to it, say a quiet prayer, and swing for the fences Picture Quote #1

I’m such a fangirl when it comes to other writers. I read 250 books a year, and I’m always talking up books by other authors Picture Quote #1

Having your book edited is like watching your cat being operated on. It’s uncomfortable and someone is probably going to get hurt. Most likely the cat. But in the end, things work out for the best and your cat is better it. And then your cat gets released in hardcover, and you have to read all of his reviews Picture Quote #1

What really grabs me is when a reader writes to express her personal story and how a book helped her situation, or her acceptance of a situation she can’t change. I read some sad cases in my snail and electronic mail. I respond to all I can, affirming that they are the true heroes of life because they are fighting through adversity and surviving Picture Quote #1

I’ve never read a young adult novel, though. I’m sure I would love it, but I’ve never read one Picture Quote #1
