Booked Quotes (page 105)

Karl Popper quote: "No book can ever be finished. While working on it we learn..."
No book can ever be finished. While working on it we learn just enough to find it immature the moment we turn away from it Karl Popper
Every day I ran to that book like it was a bottle of whiskey and crawled inside because it was a world that I had at least some control over, and slowly, in time, it began to take shape. Craig Ferguson
Christopher Hitchens quote: "Everybody does have a book in them, but in most cases that's..."
Everybody does have a book in them, but in most cases that's where it should stay. Christopher Hitchens
Stories never really end...even if the books like to pretend they do. Stories always go on. They don't end on the last page, any more than they begin on the first page. Cornelia Funke
Henry Wadsworth Longfellow quote: "The love of learning, the sequestered nooks, And all the sweet..."
The love of learning, the sequestered nooks, And all the sweet serenity of books Henry Wadsworth Longfellow
You know, it's hard work to write a book. I can't tell you how many times I really get going on an idea, then my quill breaks. Or I spill ink all over my writing tunic. Ellen DeGeneres
It has often been said there’s so much to be read, you never can cram all those words in your head. So the writer who breeds more words than he needs is making a chore for the reader who reads. That's why my belief is the briefer the brief is, the greater the sigh of the reader's relief is. And that's why your books have such power and strength. You publish with shorth! (Shorth is better than length.) Dr. Seuss
Yet this book is to prove that no matter how you travel, how 'successful' your tour, or foreshortened, you always learn something and learn to change your thoughts. Jack Kerouac
Superhero movies and comic books teach a lesson that runs directly counter to the culture-of-violence idea: guns are for bad guys too cowardly to fight like men. Stephen King
And is there any reason, we ask as we shut the book, why the perspective that a plain earthenware pot exacts should not satisfy us as completely, once we grasp it, as man himself in all his sublimity standing against a background of broken mountains and tumbling oceans with stars flaming in the sky? Virginia Woolf
Carl Sagan quote: "A book is proof that humans are capable of working magic."
A book is proof that humans are capable of working magic. Carl Sagan
The first dog I ever had was called Prince. I called him after the Black Prince. You know, the fellow who...''Massacred all the women and children in Limoges.''I don't remember that.''The history books gloss it over. Graham Greene
J. P. Donleavy quote: "When I'm dead, I hope it may be said: his sins were scarlet,..."
When I'm dead, I hope it may be said: his sins were scarlet, but his books were read. J. P. Donleavy
Every couple of years or so, when Daniel Clowes releases a new book, one can almost sense the rectal contraction across the collective seat of our humble profession. Chris Ware
In New York I'd go to the movies three or four times a week. Here I've upped it to six or seven, mainly because I'm too lazy to do anything else. Fortunately, going to the movies seems to suddenly qualify as an intellectual accomplishment, on a par with reading a book or devoting time to serious thought. It's not that the movies have gotten any more strenuous, it's just that a lot of people are as lazy as I am, and together we've agreed to lower the bar. David Sedaris
