Text Quotes
Reading books is like your own emotional and wishful life that you could see yourself living  (Reading Quotes) Books of quotations ... afford me one of the most undemanding but satisfying forms of reading pleasure.  (Reading Quotes) In my high-minded and naive way, I believed the only books worth reading were the classics  (Reading Quotes) I don’t want to review books any more. It cuts in too much on my reading.  (Reading Quotes) One trouble with developing speed reading skills is that by the time you realize a book is boring you’ve already finished it.  (Reading Quotes) My mother had been an English teacher in India before she came to the U.K., and she taught me to read early on - not only in English, but in Hindi, too. My teachers didn’t like the fact that I was reading more quickly than they were teaching, and as a consequence, I would sometimes get bored in class.  (Reading Quotes) Looks aren’t a big thing to me. I keep reading these articles in fan magazines about me, and I don’t even know who they’re talking about. It’s boring.  (Reading Quotes) I don’t like reading music. It’s like learning a language. You can’t read music proficiently overnight. It takes time, it’s boring work.  (Reading Quotes) I love reading about the supernatural, and time-slip novels, and the mistress of both is Barbara Erskine.  (Reading Quotes) My childhood dream was to study mechanical engineering. After reading ‘The Mysterious Island’ - which I read 25 times as a boy - I thought that was the best thing a person could do. The engineer in the book knows mechanics and physics, and he creates a whole way of life on the island out of nothing. I wanted to be like that.  (Reading Quotes) In terms of brain development, musical performance is every bit as important educationally as reading or writing.  (Reading Quotes) Reading to children at night, responding to their smiles with a smile, returning their vocalizations with one of your own, touching them, holding them - all of these further a child’s brain development and future potential, even in the earliest months.  (Reading Quotes) Ninety percent of the research comes first. I mostly blunder around reading stuff and talking to smart people until an idea batters or oozes its way through to my narrative brain.  (Reading Quotes) Only a consistent, ongoing, deep experience can make a lasting media brand: one that has a commitment from a core community and the respect of a larger reading public.  (Reading Quotes) My entire education in music was in reading interviews with bands like Stereolab and finding out about Brazilian music or a Romanian composer. You expose yourself to what people you look up to admire.  (Reading Quotes) My mum was a children’s librarian, so I spent a lot of time in the library. My reading life, because of my mum’s work, was evenly split between American, Canadian, Australian and British authors.  (Reading Quotes) I saw my first Broadway show when I was 10 years old. I saw ‘Big: The Musical’ and I remember going out to dinner with my mom afterward and reading the souvenir program like crazy!  (Reading Quotes) Being gay, the last time I looked, had nothing to do with reading a balance book, fixing a broken bone or changing a spark plug.  (Reading Quotes) I just can’t imagine my life without Dostoevsky and The Brothers Karamazov. I can spin off of that and talk about Crime and Punishment and Tolstoy. I could talk about other novels, but for me it’s Dostoevsky. His sheer size and grandeur, his sacramentality, his ecclesiology, and his sense of the human predicament are as powerful as it gets. Can’t imagine not reading the Russians.  (Reading Quotes) I love doing normal things - movies, shopping, going out with friends, writing, reading, taking hot bubble baths - that’s a big one for relaxation. I also love to go to art and history museums.  (Reading Quotes) I am a huge fan of world-building. I love doing it in my own books, and I love reading it done well.  (Reading Quotes) On a very personal level, I have fond memories of spending a lot of time in the Library of Congress working on my collection of poems ‘Native Guard.’ I was there over a summer doing research in the archives and then writing in the reading room at the Jefferson building.  (Reading Quotes) Indiana Jones: Archaeology is the search for fact... not truth. If it’s truth you’re looking for, Dr. Tyree’s philosophy class is right down the hall. ... So forget any ideas you’ve got about lost cities, exotic travel, and digging up the world. We do not follow maps to buried treasure, and X never, ever marks the spot. Seventy percent of all archaeology is done in the library. Research. Reading.  (Reading Quotes) You don’t have to burn books to destroy a culture. Just get people to stop reading them.  (Reading Quotes) The problem in our country isn’t with books being banned, but with people no longer reading. Look at the magazines, the newspapers around us - it’s all junk, all trash, tidbits of news. The average TV ad has 120 images a minute. Everything just falls off your mind. ... You don’t have to burn books to destroy a culture. Just get people to stop reading them.  (Reading Quotes) To try and stand outside the marriage, I’d say we have complementary capabilities. I do the hustling and the business. I do more script reading. I handle contracts.  (Reading Quotes) The journey that ‘In Praise of Slowness’ has made since publication shows how far this message resonates. The book has been translated into more than 30 languages. It appears on reading lists from business schools to yoga retreats. Rabbis, priests and imams have quoted from it in their sermons.  (Reading Quotes) Right now I’m reading every fashion magazine I can find. As a shoe designer, I feel it’s my responsibility to learn as much as I can about the business, past and present.  (Reading Quotes) We can’t deny that films have a bigger reach. After the popularity of the ‘Slumdog Millionaire,’ a lot of people started reading Vikas Swarup’s ‘Q and A’. From a business sense, films are a good tool to increase the number of readers.  (Reading Quotes) If the parents are too busy to read, it’s a safe bet the children will feel the same way. Set aside time for family reading each night. It doesn’t matter so much what the kids read, as long as you provide them space for reading and a sense that it is a valuable part of your daily routine.  (Reading Quotes)
