Most books today seemed to have been written overnight from books read the day before. Nicolas Chamfort
Moby Dick - that book is so amazing. I just realized that it starts with two characters meeting in bed; that's how my book begins, too, but I hadn't noticed the parallel before, two characters forced to share a bed, reluctantly. Michael Chabon
You know, he would go and look at different funny books because he wanted his character to be different and make different faces. I saw a funny book in his room and it looked like the same character he was playing. It was about a duck. Bubba Smith

I'm an artist too. Jimmy Carter

A book is simply the container of an idea like a bottle; what is inside the book is what matters. Angela Carter

Abraham Lincoln quote: "The things I want to know are in books; my best friend is the..."
The things I want to know are in books; my best friend is the man who'll get me a book I ain't read. Abraham Lincoln
I don't think of my books as being biographies. I never had any interest in doing a book just to write the life of a great man. I had zero interest in that. My interest is in power. How power works. Robert Caro
As a kid I was fascinated with sports, and I loved sports more than anything else. The first books I read were about sports, like books about Baseball Joe, as one baseball hero was called. Robert Jay Lifton
