Reading Quotes

Most of the words you know and love and use every day are not words you learned by looking them up in a dictionary and reading a definition Picture Quote #1

The things worth writing about, and the things worth reading about, are the things that feel almost beyond description at the start and are, because of that, frightening Picture Quote #1

When I am reading for research and making notes, I use a cleverly designed curved lap-desk, and I sit up dutifully, mindful of ergonomics and suchlike concepts. When reading for pleasure, I take advantage of the ‘recline’ in recliner Picture Quote #1

It’s rare for me to read any fiction. I almost only read nonfiction. I don’t believe in guilty pleasures, I only believe in pleasures. People who call reading detective fiction or eating dessert a guilty pleasure make me want to puke Picture Quote #1

I started out in life as a poet; I was only writing poetry all through my 20s. It wasn’t until I was about 30 that I got serious about writing prose. While I was writing poems, I would often divert myself by reading detective novels; I liked them Picture Quote #1

You have to plan it [your devotion to God] every day. And, the best time to plan it is before your day begins. If you don’t plan it, your day will plan you. And so, I make a disciplined life of the study of the scriptures, reading the word every day Picture Quote #1

Because of social media, we have a lot of personal essays floating around; you see them on Facebook: everyone’s either reading them or writing them. Some of them are great; some of them are diary entries put forth as essays Picture Quote #1

Do you remember that kid that had sex with his high school teacher? I was reading online that he died today. He died from hi-fiveing Picture Quote #1

I remember reading a book set in the future, it was written in the 1870s projecting to 1920, and this time traveler said you couldn’t tell the difference between men and women. He saw what was coming Picture Quote #1

A good book is a good book, and there are a lot of different ways to approach writing or reading one Picture Quote #1

My reading practice is one reason I mostly don’t read electronically. Different books are in different rooms of my house, and one is in my backpack. Physical location tells me what book to read Picture Quote #1

The only time I felt I was different was when one of my friends said, ‘I hate reading’ and I stared at her like, ‘What kind of an alien creature are you?!’ Because it was so incomprehensible to me that someone could dislike reading! That really started my desire to help other children love reading and writing Picture Quote #1

When you’re reading from a different language that’s different from your own, it’s not the same as being fluent Picture Quote #1

My inspiration always comes from different places. Sometimes it’s a piece of music or being in nature or seeing a film or reading a magazine. I find inspiration everywhere Picture Quote #1

We’re obviously in a strange environment where practically anyone can set themselves up as a pundit of sorts. It’s all about sorting the wheat from the chaff, and I’m very interested in reading different points of view, and certainly different generations than my own that have such a very different world view Picture Quote #1

I went to something like six different schools before the age of 12, so I was always the new girl and had to make friends quickly. It was difficult at the start because I was very bookish - I was literally sat in the corner reading books, with no friends Picture Quote #1

Reading literature is a way of reaching back to something bigger and older and different, Picture Quote #1

Reading was such a formative part of my childhood (along with ‘Loony Tunes’), that it is difficult to pin point the most influential book. But, under an interrogation light I would probably have to say ‘Jane Eyre’ by Charlotte Bronte Picture Quote #1

I have trouble reading modern Hebrew. In the 1950s, I could read anything. I don’t know how much experience you’ve had with contemporary Hebrew. It’s quite difficult Picture Quote #1

When I am about to embark on a difficult journey, I comfort myself by reading the accounts of the great nineteenth-century travellers, men like Stanley, Burton, Speke, Burckhardt and Barth Picture Quote #1

My mom would always read a book to me at night from when I was three. Now, I can’t go to sleep without reading a book. At the same time, once I read, it’s difficult for me to go to sleep, as I have an overactive imagination and I start thinking Picture Quote #1

Maybe they’ll start making serialized movies. I watched the first couple seasons of 24’ and it’s really fun. I bought the DVD and watched it over a month or so and it’s great. It’s like reading a novel. It has a lot of possibilities that are more difficult to accomplish with a film Picture Quote #1

I quit flying myself last year and that was difficult for me because I enjoy it as much as playing golf. It was an adjustment sitting in the back of the plane, rather than at the controls, but I’ve grown accustomed to it and enjoy reading a book, doing some work or challenging my wife to a game of dominos Picture Quote #1

In a long story like ‘Weathercraft,’ it becomes kind of convoluted. It can become perhaps difficult to remember what led up to whatever point you’re at.

The menu should be part of the entertainment, part of the dining experience. It’s kind of like reading the ‘Playbill’ when you go to the theater. It should be an alluring and interactive document. Does it have burn marks on it from the candle? If you ever get a greasy menu with food stains on it, it’s time to run like hell Picture Quote #1

I’m not specifically attached to anything other than trying to, in my personal life, fight against where I see right wing thinking. Whether it be around my dinner table or on the street or somebody reading the New York Post Picture Quote #1

I’m a huge Dirty Dancing fan. I feel like I should be reading [William] Shakespeare, but I’m watching Baby not be in a corner Picture Quote #1

When I start to write, words have become physical presence. It was to see if I could bring that private world to life that found its first expression through reading. I really dislike the romantic notion of the artist Picture Quote #1

You are reading me; over the boundary of time and distance, I am touching you, not with my hands but with my love Picture Quote #1
