Reading Quotes

To become a lifelong reader, one has to do a lot of varied and interesting reading Picture Quote #1

Still reading but learning a lot about true education and the process of guiding our children in their educational pursuits Picture Quote #1

It was long before I got at the maxim, that in reading an old mathematician you will not read his riddle unless you plough with his heifer; you must see with his light, if you want to know how much he saw Picture Quote #1

Sometimes, in the course of my hopeless quest, I would pick up and dip into one of the ordinary books that lay strewn around the castle. Whenever I did, it seemed so insipid and insubstantial that I flew into a rage and hurled it at the wall after reading the first few sentences. I was spoilt for any other form of literature, and the mental torment I endured was comparable to the agony of unrequited love compounded by the withdrawal symptoms associated with a severe addiction Picture Quote #1

You can’t build a vocabulary without reading. You can’t meet friends if you... stay at home by yourself all the time. In the same way, you can’t build up a vocabulary if you never meet any new words. And to meet them you must read. The more you read the better Picture Quote #1

Accurate reading on a wide range of subjects makes the scholar; careful selection of the better makes the saint Picture Quote #1

Reading the morning newspaper is the realist’s morning. One orients one’s attitude toward the either by or by what the world is. The former gives as much security as the latter, in that one knows how one stands Picture Quote #1

If every head of state and every government official spent an hour a day reading poetry we’d live in a much more humane and decent world Picture Quote #1

A lot of people worry much too much about what their children are reading... If a child picks up a book and reads something she has a question about, if she can go to her parents, great. Or else they will read right over it. It won’t mean a thing. They are very good, I think, at monitoring what makes them feel uncomfortable. If something makes them feel uncomfortable they will put it down Picture Quote #1

Reading is the basic springboard for learning. And books provide the liftoff. They are the great equalizer, opening up new worlds to everyone Picture Quote #1

Poets, on the face of it, have either got to be easier or to write their own notes; readers have either got to take more trouble over reading or cease to regard notes as pretentious and a sign of bad poetry Picture Quote #1

One of the things that is interesting about reading conspiracy theory is that much of what folks think is conspiracy is really many people acting in concert to make or protect their money Picture Quote #1

People have been reading photography as a true document, at the same time they are now getting suspicious. I am basically an honest person, so I let the camera capture whatever it captures whether you believe it or not is up to you; it’s not my responsibility, blame my camera, not me Picture Quote #1

It seems to me that most people are interested in reading about characters who are richer than they are Picture Quote #1

I know as a child, I was really interested in becoming a manga artist, to create my own stories and illustrate them and present something that people would be interested in reading and looking at as well Picture Quote #1

I used to draw cartoons. I’d just show them to some of my friends, expecting that they were going to appreciate them, that they were going to enjoy reading them Picture Quote #1

Reading is like breathing in and writing is like breathing out, and storytelling is what links both: it is the soul of literacy. The most powerful tool that we have to strengthen literacy is often the most underused and overlooked, and that is a child’s own stories Picture Quote #1

Reading in a sound booth seems very strange. Everyone has a process they are comfortable with; this was uncomfortable for me Picture Quote #1

When you go visiting countries, you start reading the history of the place and you start getting into the culture, and then you have to leave. In my experience, all countries have hidden treasures Picture Quote #1

I tend not to think about the reading public at all, or the business, when I’m writing Picture Quote #1

Reading with my children is incredibly important to me and a wonderful way to spend time together as a family, exploring magical worlds through books and stories Picture Quote #1

Reading and writing is so important, and it’s something I am really keen to promote. It’s something that can be a bit lost these days with so much else going on Picture Quote #1

Contrary to all those times you’ve heard a writer confess at a reading that he writes fiction because he is a pathological liar, fiction writing is all about telling the truth Picture Quote #1

I loved to read, still do, and it seemed that the writing was a result of the love of books and reading and libraries Picture Quote #1

I’m a failed poet. Reading poetry helps me to see the world differently, and I try to infuse my prose with figurative language, which goes against the trend in fiction Picture Quote #1

I never remain passive in the process of reading: while I read I am engaged in a constant creative activity, which leads me to remember not so much the actual matter of the book as the thoughts evoked in my mind by it, directly or indirectly Picture Quote #1

The success of the poem is determined not by how much the poet felt in writing it, but by how much the reader feels in reading it Picture Quote #1

Wisdom is not what comes from reading great books. When it comes to understanding life, experiential learning is the only worthwhile kind, everything else is hearsay Picture Quote #1

Going out at night and having a fabulous social life takes a lot out of you, and I don’t know if I have that much to give, honestly. I would rather give that time to my kids or spend that time reading a book or watching a film. I am selfish and lazy Picture Quote #1

Essayists, like poets, are born and not made, and for one worth remembering, the world is confronted with a hundred not worth reading. Your true essayist is, in a literary sense, the friend of everybody Picture Quote #1
