Anne Lamott quote: "For some of us, good books and beautiful writing are our..."
For some of us, good books and beautiful writing are our ultimate solace, even more comforting than exquisite food. Anne Lamott
There is nothing nicer than nodding off while reading. Going fast asleep and then being woken by the crash of the book on the floor, then saying to yourself, well it doesn't matter much. An admirable feeling. A. J. P. Taylor
Dear Mia, What can I say? I don't know all that much about romance novels, but I think you must be the Stephen King of the genre. Your book is hot. Thanks for letting me read it. Anyone who doesn't want to publish it is a fool. Anyway, since I know it's your birthday, and I also know you never remember to back anything up, here's a little something I made for you. It would be a shame if Ransom My Heart got lost before it ever saw the light of day because your hard drive crashed. See you... Meg Cabot
It looked like the sort of book described in library catalogues as "slightly foxed", although it would be more honest to admit that it looked as though it had beed badgered, wolved and possibly beared as well.-- Ah, but has it been hedgehogged? Terry Prachett
Henry Fielding quote: "We are as liable to be corrupted by books as we are by..."
We are as liable to be corrupted by books as we are by companions. Henry Fielding
I grew up in the midst of poverty but every black kid that I knew could read and write. We have to talk about the fact that we cannot educate for critical consciousness if we have a group of people who cannot access Fanon, Cabral, or Audre Lorde because they can’t read or write. How did Malcolm X radicalize his consciousness? He did it through books. If you deprive working-class and poor black people of access to reading and writing, you are making them that much farther removed from being a... Bell Hooks
Oprah Winfrey quote: "Some women have a weakness for shoes... I can go barefoot if..."
Some women have a weakness for shoes... I can go barefoot if necessary. I have a weakness for books. Oprah Winfrey
Louis L'Amour quote: "A book is less important for what it says than for what it..."
A book is less important for what it says than for what it makes you think. Louis L'Amour
I have never read anything quite like Mark Haddon's funny and agonizingly honest book, or encountered a narrator more vivid and memorable. I advise you to buy two copies; you won't want to lend yours out. Arthur Golden
When I was five I learned to read. Books were a miracle to me - white pages, black ink, and new worlds and different friends in each one. To this day, I relish the feeling of cracking a binding for the first time, the anticipation of where I'll go and whom I'll meet inside. Jennifer Weiner
It's and odd thing, but however much an oficionado one may be of mysteries in book form, when they pop up in real life they seldom fail to give one the pip. P. G. Wodehouse
One generation after another falls like honeybees upon this memorable forest, rifle its sweets, pack themselves with vital memories, and when the theft is consummated depart again into life richer, but poorer also. The forest, indeed, they have possessed, from that day forward it is theirs dissolubly, and they will never return to walk in it at night in the fondest of their dreams, and use it forever in their books and pictures. Robert Louis Stevenson
In It's Only Temporary, Evan Handler confronts the ambiguities of life backward, forward, and in between. With hilarious honesty he reflects on the realization that we can start over again. It's Only Temporary is a heartfelt book for all of us who are getting younger and older at the same time. Amy Tan
Jack Kerouac quote: "I'm writing this book because we're all going to die."
I'm writing this book because we're all going to die. Jack Kerouac
So up I got in anger, And took a book I had, And put a ribbon on my hair. To please a passing lad. And, "One thing there's no getting by --I've been a wicked girl," said I; But if I can't be sorry, why, I might as well be glad! Edna St. Vincent Millay
