Reading Quotes

The regret on our side is, they used to say years ago, we are reading about you in science class. Now they say, we are reading about you in history class Picture Quote #1

Reading is a pleasure of the mind, which means that it is a little like a sport: your eagerness and knowledge and quickness count for something. The fun of reading is not that something is told to you, but that you stretch your mind. Your own imagination works along with the authors, or even goes beyond his, yields the same or different conclusions, and your ideas develop as you understand his Picture Quote #1

I love academics, theory and all that. I love and admire that and try to do as much reading as I can 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 don’t like reading scripts very much. I like it better for someone to just explain to me what it is about this story 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

Writing is a way of life. I do it because it’s a way of experiencing the world, and trying to come to terms with it and understand it and express it and engage with it. And to me it’s a natural extension of reading Picture Quote #1

The golden rule when reading the menu is, if you cannot pronounce it, you cannot afford it Picture Quote #1

The gossip might make better reading, but the simple fact of the matter is that it isn’t true Picture Quote #1

Pace yourself in your reading. A little bit every day really adds up. If you read during sporadic reading jags, the fits and starts will not get you anywhere close to the amount of reading you will need to do. It is far better to walk a mile a day than to run five miles every other month. Make time for reading, and make a daily habit of it, even if it is a relatively small daily habit Picture Quote #1

There are little things that get on my nerves, like people who have reading material in their powder room. When you go in someone’s house, and next to the toilet they have a huge basket of magazines, I find that repellent. I recommend against straining while reading Picture Quote #1

And if I really can see the future, then what does it mean? Is there any sense in our lives if everything is already out there, just waiting to happen? For if that were so, then life would be a horrible monster indeed, with no chance of escape from fate, from destiny. It would be like reading a book, but reading it backwards, from the final chapter down to chapter one, so that the end is already known to you Picture Quote #1

My idea of a productive day, as both a child and an adult, was reading for hours and staring out the window Picture Quote #1

We were taught instead of just reading about life we needed to go out and live it Picture Quote #1

The book, that stubbornly unelectric artifact of pure typography, possesses resources conducive to the flourishing of the soul. A thoughtful reading of the printed text orients one to a world of order, meaning, and the possibility of knowing truth Picture Quote #1

There are two motives for reading a book; one, that you enjoy it; the other, that you can boast about it Picture Quote #1

And the process of reading is such a private one. I once came into a room where a friend of mine was reading one of my books, and he clicked his tongue impatiently and shooed me off Picture Quote #1

The art of reading is the art of adopting the pace the author has set. Some books are fast and some are slow, but no book can be understood if it is taken at the wrong speed Picture Quote #1

When I write a book, I put everything I have into it; so the more I have, the more the books become. Some people get freaked out by them: mostly the people who believe, mistakenly, that fantasy is about escaping reality. To them I say: If you have a problem with reality, you should be spending more time dealing with your life, and less time reading popcorn fantasy Picture Quote #1

I believe in choosing the hardest book imaginable. I believe in reading up on what others have to say about this difficult book, and then making up my own mind Picture Quote #1

Reading is a pleasure, but to finish reading, to come to the blank space at the end, is also a pleasure Picture Quote #1

Studying goes deeper than mere reading. There are surface nuggets to be gathered but the best of the gold is underneath, and it takes time and labor to secure it Picture Quote #1

I escaped the torture of my childhood home by reading. To this day it is still one of my greatest pleasures Picture Quote #1

I find the only thing that really stands up, better than gambling, better than booze, better than women, is reading Picture Quote #1

The joy of reading with our children doesn’t stop as they, and we, get older; it simply changes Picture Quote #1

Reading is dreaming. Reading is entering a world of imagination shared between reader and author. Reading is getting beyond the words to the story or meaning underneath Picture Quote #1

Happiness is baking cookies. Happiness is giving them away. And serving them, and eating them, talking about them, reading and writing about them, thinking about them, and sharing them with you Picture Quote #1

I hope people are reading my work in the future. I hope I have done more than frightened a couple of generations. I hope I’ve inspired a few people one way or another Picture Quote #1

By establishing reading societies, and subscription libraries, and taking these under our direction, and supplying them through our labors, we may turn the public mind which way we will Picture Quote #1
