Marguerite Young quote: "All the books I have written have been one book, from the..."
All the books I have written have been one book, from the beginning. Marguerite Young
A good writer cannot avoid having social consciousness. I don't mean this about small pieces of writing, but about a big book. If it's a big book, there has to be more than one undertow. Marguerite Young
One, I have a wonderful publisher, Black Sparrow Press; as long as they exist, they will keep me in print. And they claim they sell very respectable numbers of my books, so I guess, and it's true, every place I go, my books are in libraries and on bookshelves. Diane Wakoski
I read numerous books - loads in fact - and, as I always do when recording a historical project, immersed myself into the subject matter. I spent many hours at Henry's old homes, such as Hampton Court, and visiting the Tower of London. I read no other books during that period. Rick Wakeman
Larry Hagman quote: "I didn't write the book to sell the book, but to tell my..."
I didn't write the book to sell the book, but to tell my experiences. Larry Hagman

Mark Haddon quote: "Reading is a conversation. All books talk. But a good book..."
Reading is a conversation. All books talk. But a good book listens as well. Mark Haddon
Children simply don't make the distinction; a book is either good or bad. And some of the books they think are good are very, very bad indeed. Mark Haddon
Most adults, unlike most children, understand the difference between a book that will hold them spellbound for a rainy Sunday afternoon and a book that will put them in touch with a part of themselves they didn't even know existed. Mark Haddon
There's something about each of my books that I'm really proud of, and there's something about each of my books that I cringe over. Margaret Haddix
I know that I am very popular in Holland, in fact I have visited Amsterdam several times to publicize my books. I have a great publisher in Holland and they have published all of my books in Dutch. Jackie Collins
I have written 20 books, and each one is like having a baby. Writing is not easy; some people want to write books but just can't put a story together. I can put together a story that interests both me and my readers. Jackie Collins
The odd thing about being a writer is you do tend to lose yourself in your books. Sometimes it seems like real life is flickering by and you're hardly a part of it. You remember the events in your books better than you remember the events that actually took place when you were writing them. George R. R. Martin
Brian P. Cleary quote: "These are books that want to be read out loud. These are books..."
These are books that want to be read out loud. These are books kids share with each other, and I think that's important. Brian P. Cleary
A house without books is like a room without windows. No man has a right to bring up his children without surrounding them with books, if he has the means to buy them. Horace Mann
