Reading Quotes

I think of reading like a balanced diet; if your sentences are too baggy, too baroque, cut back on fatty Foster Wallace, say, and pick up Kafka as roughage Picture Quote #1

It’s not in my nature to chop people’s heads off, per se, or rob a bank or any crazy thing I’ve done on screen. I’m just comfortable reading a book or spending time with my wife and my daughter or watching the fight on TV with the fellas Picture Quote #1

I read the Bible when I was 12 while studying for my bar mitzvah. I was also reading a lot of Dilbert comics at the time, and I guess the two kind of got fused in my mind. I’ve always imagined God as an irrational, distractible boss. It’s my best explanation for our planet Picture Quote #1

Whether in music or in fiction, the most basic thing is rhythm. Your style needs to have good, natural, steady rhythm, or people won’t keep reading your work Picture Quote #1

I think what has happened to our basketball team, we’ve been badly distracted. They’re not reading too many positive things in the paper Picture Quote #1

I picked up ‘The Hunger Games’ thinking it was written at my regressed reading level. I’ve spent hours reading it, and I’m not even halfway through. Our bass player, whose name is also Nate, ended up reading all three novels and loved them Picture Quote #1

Much of my reading time over the last decade and a half has been spent reading aloud to my children. Those children’s bedtime rituals of supper, bath, stories, and sleep have been a staple of my life and some of the best, most special times I can remember Picture Quote #1

Reading fiction is important. It is a vital means of imagining a life other than our own, which in turn makes us more empathetic beings Picture Quote #1

My girlfriend always laughs during sex - no matter what she’s reading Picture Quote #1

She was plain and far from skinny or petite. As for parties...she’d rather be alone in a corner somewhere reading. She hated being nice to people she didn’t like because her father wanted contributions. She hated being fake. All she wanted was to be herself Picture Quote #1

Writing reminds you that you’re never alone. Writing and reading is to be optimistic Picture Quote #1

Reading at meals is considered rude in polite society, but if you expect to succeed as a writer, rudeness should be the second-to-least of your concerns. The least of all should be polite society and what it expects Picture Quote #1

My daughter will be reading about Pat Buchanan in a history book someday, and I am hanging out fist-bumping with him and joking with him Picture Quote #1

I’m 24, so I’ll go out and, yeah, have a few drinks and dance - I love to dance - and have a good time, but I like to do other things, too. I like going to the beach and reading and hiking Picture Quote #1

One of my earliest memories is of seeing my mother in her beach chair, reading a book under an umbrella by the water’s edge while my sisters and I played beside her. Of all the life lessons she taught me, that is one of my favorites: to take time at a place I love, restore my spirit with books and the beach Picture Quote #1

I never understood the concept of a fluffy summer read. For me, summer reading means beaches, long train rides and layovers in foreign airports. All of which call for escaping into really long books Picture Quote #1

I still carry the residue of the pressure I felt as a child to read and appreciate the right books. Growing up, I never allowed myself to read beach reading. I was always plowing through Ford Madox Ford’s ‘Good Solider’ or something I wasn’t equipped to understand Picture Quote #1

People are always telling me that they’ve seen people reading my books on the subway, or the beach, or whenever Picture Quote #1

Inviting children as gospel learners to act and not merely be acted upon builds on reading and talking about the Book of Mormon and bearing testimony spontaneously in the home Picture Quote #1

I grew up poor in crappy situations... various crappy situations. What kept me sane was reading and music. I had so many different literary tastes growing up, be it fiction like Stephen King or Piers Anthony or non-fiction like reading Hunter S. Thompson essays or reading the Beats. I was a huge fan of the Beat movement Picture Quote #1

Foreign-language books are sometimes more beautiful when you can’t tell what’s being said. It’s like you ruin it by reading Picture Quote #1

To feel most beautifully alive means to be reading something beautiful, ready always to apprehend in the flow of language the sudden flash of poetry Picture Quote #1

It blew my mind, reading Swing Time, that I could take any sentence in the book, and it was one of the most beautiful sentences written in English Picture Quote #1

The importance of reading, for me, is that it allows you to dream. Reading not only educates, but is relaxing and allows you to feed your imagination - creating beautiful pictures from carefully chosen words Picture Quote #1

I was in awe sometimes listening to Mick Taylor . Everything was there in his playing - the melodic touch, a beautiful sustain and a way of reading a song Picture Quote #1

When I was a little boy, I was reading Dante and I was saying to myself ‘Bravo, Dante, Bravo.’ It’s so beautiful, the music, the sound, the meaning. I felt like calling him by phone, like a friend Picture Quote #1

I had the impression from reading English literature that British women were great beauties, and I only had seen Julie Christie, and she was gorgeous and sexy. I don’t know whether it was just my taste, but when I got to London, I went two years without seeing a truly attractive woman. A lot of near misses Picture Quote #1

I remember him reading ‘Sleeping Beauty,’ and he would play the score by Tchaikovsky as he read it. We’d also read ‘Winnie the Pooh,’ and, you know, those probably that he most often read me were ‘Beatrix Potter’ books, ‘The Tale of Jemima Puddle-Duck’ and ‘The Tale of Mrs. Tiggy-Winkle.’ I still have at least 15 of them Picture Quote #1

I read usually in the morning, in my kitchen at breakfast - a short reading time, usually poetry. I read in bed every night. I usually get in bed pretty early with a book, and I read until I can’t prop my eyes open anymore - sometimes rather late Picture Quote #1
