Why We Read Quotes

I recently read that Arnold Schwarzenegger collects Hummers. Now we know why Maria’s face is frozen in that puckered position Picture Quote #1

We live in times that are in many ways ambiguous. Maybe that’s why kids want precision in what they read - they don’t like that moral ambiguity Picture Quote #1

Legal documents have mistrust written all over them. It’s unfortunate, but the human DNA is so tuned to kind of taking you for granted that we tend to protect ourselves legally. That’s why I don’t read them as, if I read them, I will go soft. To me, the human relationship is far more important than the professional bond I share with anyone Picture Quote #1

Boring heroines are, in my opinion, the most common romance mistake. We loathe hanging out with women who define themselves purely through their relationships... why would we want to read about them? Picture Quote #1

I think the biggest thing that I have to do is to remind people that poetry is there for us to turn to not only to remind us that we’re not alone - for example, if we are grieving the loss of someone - but also to help us celebrate our joys. That’s why so many people I know who’ve gotten married will have a poem read at the wedding Picture Quote #1

I’ve always enjoyed that kind of thing - thinking about the production of narrative and why it is that when we read a novel, we don’t notice the fact that someone who might be very close-mouthed or tight-lipped is perfectly willing to tell us a story in 600 or 700 pages Picture Quote #1

I have a good Muslim friend who comes over to my house. Good guy; reads the Qur’an in Arabic. He comes over to my house and we talk about faith and we talk about things we have in common, but I can’t shy away from the differences that we have. So I talk about why I’m not a Muslim and about the evidence that exists that show Christianity is true Picture Quote #1

I believe that we should only read those books that bite and sting us. If a book does not rouse us with a blow then why read it? Picture Quote #1

What we prefer to read is sort of like sexual preference, you like what you like. Most of the time you have no clue why Picture Quote #1

We all have a lot of people inside us, yet we get to live only one life. Fiction lets us slip into someone else’s skin, so to speak. That’s why we read novels, and also why we write them–to experience more life Picture Quote #1

Maybe this is why we read, and why in moments of darkness we return to books: to find words for what we already know Picture Quote #1

That’s why we read fiction, isn’t it? To remind us that whatever we suffer, we’re not the only ones? Picture Quote #1
