Booked Quotes (page 63)

To read a book, to think it over, and to write out notes is a useful exercise; a book which will not repay some hard thought is not worth publishing. Maria Mitchell
I wrote a book called The Taste of New Wine because I couldn't find a book that talked about the reality of the situation and how we were dishonest and afraid. Keith Miller
What's funny about that is when I was writing Twilight just for myself and not thinking of it as a book, I was not thinking about publishing, and yet at the same time I was casting it in my head. Because when I read books, I see them very visually. Stephenie Meyer
For my wrap present, Colin Farrell gave me a first edition book. I got so involved with this character and I was so sad when the movie was over that when I got home and I tried to read the book I got really emotional and I started crying. Salma Hayek
I was aware that there is an expectation that writers inevitably falter at this stage, that they fail to live up to the promise of their first successful book, that the next book never pleases the way the prior one did. It simply increased my sense of being challenged. David Guterson
Every ceremony or rite has a value if it is performed without alteration. A ceremony is a book in which a great deal is written. Anyone who understands can read it. One rite often contains more than a hundred books. G. I. Gurdjieff
'Blind Curve,' the book I'm working on now, sprang from a crazy incident that happened to me last year while on my book tour.

Except in my story, the hero doesn't get off as easily as I did. Andrew Gross
John Grisham quote: "I'm not itching to sue Amazon or Wal-Mart... they sell a lot..."
I'm not itching to sue Amazon or Wal-Mart... they sell a lot of books. But the future is very uncertain with books. John Grisham
I always do book signings with the same blue pen. That way, if I add a personalised message to a book I've already signed, it'll be in the same colour as my signature. John Grisham
Gunter Grass quote: "Even bad books are books and therefore sacred."
Even bad books are books and therefore sacred. Gunter Grass
I don't want to write formula. I don't want to crank these books out like sausages. Every book is different, which takes a hell of a lot of ingenuity on my part. Sue Grafton
Seth Godin quote: "If you're going to buy a real book, a paper book, there better..."
If you're going to buy a real book, a paper book, there better be a good reason. Perhaps scarcity is one of those reasons. Seth Godin
They have this big book called the "DSM-IV," you know, that is supposedly written about crazy people, but I think it is a book that is written by crazy people! William Glasser
In a Glasser Quality School there is no such thing as a closed book test. Students are told to get out their notes and open their books. There is no such thing as being forbidden to ask the teacher or another student for help. William Glasser
Bill Gates quote: "I read a lot of obscure books and it is nice to open a book."
I read a lot of obscure books and it is nice to open a book. Bill Gates
