Shelves Quotes

I like to have a person’s knowledge comprehend more than one class of topics, one row of shelves. I like a person who likes to see a fine barn as well as a good tragedy Picture Quote #1

Come indoors then, and open the books on your library shelves. For you have a library and a good one. A working library, a living library; a library where nothing is chained down and nothing is locked up; a library where the songs of the singers rise naturally from the lives of the livers Picture Quote #1

Years later he’d stood in the charred ruins of a library where blackened books lay in pools of water. Shelves tipped over. Some rage at the lies arranged in their thousands row on row. He picked up one of the books and thumbed through the heavy bloated pages. He’d not have thought the value of the smallest thing predicated on a world to come. It surprised him. That the space which these things occupied was itself an expectation Picture Quote #1

The stories that unfold in the space of a writer’s study, the objects chosen to watch over a desk, the books selected to sit on the shelves, all weave a web of echoes and reflections of meanings and affections, that lend a visitor the illusion that something of the owner of this space lives on between these walls, even if the owner is no more Picture Quote #1

She surrounded herself with books at work and at home. Her living space was a testament to her first and abiding love with shelves jammed with books tables crowded with them. She saw them not only as knowledge entertainment comfort even sanity but as a kind of artful decoration Picture Quote #1

I am convinced that the greatest legacy we can leave our children are happy memories: those precious moments so much like pebbles on the beach that are plucked from the white sand and placed in tiny boxes that lay undisturbed on tall shelves until one day they spill out and time repeats itself, with joy and sweet sadness, in the child now an adult Picture Quote #1

... If those only wrote, who were sure of being read, we should have fewer authors; and the shelves of libraries would not groan beneath the weight of dusty tomes more voluminous than luminous Picture Quote #1

Ice shelves in general have episodic carvings and there can be large icebergs breaking off - I’m talking 100km or 200km long - every 10 or 20 or 50 years Picture Quote #1

If the shelves are dusty and the pots don’t shine, it’s because I have better things to do with my time Picture Quote #1

Most - and I mean maybe 99% or more - graphic novels are simply fat comicbooks. The term is a bogus, cocked-up concept some marketing whizkid conceived to get comics on the shelves of bookstores Picture Quote #1

It takes me about a week and a half to read the typical book. I don’t know how many ten-day spans I have left. Eventually the unread books on my shelves will have to be abandoned, or they will join me on the pyre. The book I’m about to purchase may be among them. We all buy books we won’t live to read Picture Quote #1

The Love Dare for Parents really came from an ongoing response from people who went through the couple’s book asking us to do the same for children. It’s been a long time coming after a couple years doing this. But we’re excited that it’s now hitting shelves. We learned a lot going through the process of writing it, so we can’t wait to see what happens Picture Quote #1

The shelves of many evangelicals are full of books that point out the flaws in evolution, discuss it only as a theory, and almost imply that there’s a conspiracy here to avoid the fact that evolution is actually flawed. All of those books, unfortunately, are based upon conclusions that no reasonable biologist would now accept Picture Quote #1

At my first library job, I worked with a woman named Sheila Brownstein, who was The Reader’s Advisor. She was a short, bosomy Englishwoman who accosted people at the shelves and asked if they wanted advice on what to read, and if the answer was yes, she asked what writers they already loved and then suggested somebody new Picture Quote #1

Libraries have a PR problem - or at least that’s what they call it when no one under the age of 40 walks through the door. To bring in a younger crowd, the paper pushers have turned to tech to bring in the public. DVDs, CDs and, yes, even videogames are hitting the shelves of your local library Picture Quote #1

I love walking into a bookstore. It’s like all my friends are sitting on shelves, waving their pages at me Picture Quote #1

I can remember that on the shelves at home, there were these books by Thomas Wolfe. ‘Look Homeward Angel’ and ‘Of Time and the River.’ ‘Of Time and the River’ had just come out when I was aware of his name. My parents had a hard time convincing me that he was no kin whatsoever. My attitude was, ‘Well, what’s he doing on the shelf, then?’ Picture Quote #1

The summer of 1976 was so hot that bars of chocolate melted on the shelves before confectioners could sell them Picture Quote #1

I decided to build a studio in my house. We built it in my basement kitchen. I had the drummer up by the fish tank. I was in the toilet singing. The bass player was out by the shelves in the living room, and the guitarist was on the couch by the telly Picture Quote #1

No matter how beautiful and loved a cover may be, the jury on it remains uncommitted until the book has been in the world for a while. Perhaps bookstore buyers will be indifferent. Perhaps it will be lost on store shelves. Perhaps there’s another book or two out there using the same or a similar photo Picture Quote #1

Growing up, I lived in a house without art: no picture books on the shelves, no visits to museums, no posters on the bedroom wall Picture Quote #1

You coming?She hesitated, weighing her options. Risk running back down the flaming aisles to find another exit? Or trust the guy who’d been stalking her all afternoon?The fire spread to the nearby shelves. The heat was growing unbearable.You cut me deep, he saidYou’d actually choose a fiery death over the prospect of my company. I have to admit, that stings a bit Picture Quote #1

Being tall is very good for reaching high shelves and seeing in a crowd. Sadly, it has also given me the inability to dance. There’s too much of me to look neat, which is most disappointing Picture Quote #1

There will be birthdays in the next twelve months; books keep well; they’re easy to wrap: buy those books now. Buy replacements for any books looking raggedy on your shelves Picture Quote #1

I love seeing my book on shelves and getting letters from people who liked the book. I love telling stories and having other people tell stories to me Picture Quote #1

If you’re going to have a book published in China, that means that you’re going to be subject to in-house censorship at the publisher, and then also, of course, the government has an apparatus that is in charge of making sure that ideas that are considered disruptive or overly critical, that those don’t get onto bookstore shelves Picture Quote #1

I love the Web, but the basis of my work is going through the physical books. When you go to the library, you see other books around on the shelves that you never knew existed. You can flip through a book and see the whole outline of it Picture Quote #1

I work in a small study on the top floor of a brownstone in Brooklyn - it’s about 75 square feet, 11 taken up by book shelves along one wall Picture Quote #1

One of the pleasures of staying with friends is that you get to browse their shelves. I always arrive with a book, but I almost never read it. It would be like sitting at their dinner table and opening a packet of sandwiches Picture Quote #1

I feel as if when you love a book it becomes a part of you whether you have it on your shelves or not Picture Quote #1
