Books And Reading Quotes (page 10)

I hope you read some fine books and kiss someone who thinks you're wonderful, and don't forget to make some art; write or draw or build or sing or live as only you can. Neil Gaiman
John Steinbeck quote: "Let’s get it over and the door closed shut on it! Let’s close..."
Let’s get it over and the door closed shut on it! Let’s close it like a book and go on reading! New chapter, new life. John Steinbeck
How strange to read of a place in a book, and then stand on it, listen to the birds sing, and spit on the cobbles if you want. Barbara Kingsolver
When the mind is braced by labor and invention, the page of whatever book we read becomes luminous with manifold allusion. Every sentence is doubly significant, and the sense of our author is as broad as the world. Ralph Waldo Emerson
David Baldacci quote: "Why can't people just sit and read books and be nice to each..."
Why can't people just sit and read books and be nice to each other? David Baldacci
Your criticism sounds to me as if you have read too many critical books and are too smart in an artificial, destructive, and very limited way. Flannery O'Connor
[W]hat I like best is staying home and reading. Being rich is not about how many homes you own. It’s the freedom to pick up any book you want without looking at the price and wondering whether you can afford it. John Waters
Richard Brautigan quote: "I drank coffee and read old books and waited for the year to end."
I drank coffee and read old books and waited for the year to end. Richard Brautigan
Despite his first, the study of English literature seemed in retrospect an absorbing parlor game, and reading books and having opinions about them, the desirable adjunct to a civilized existence. But it was not the core, whatever Dr. Leavis said in his lectures. Ian Mcewan
But the cinephile is … a neurotic! (That’s not a pejorative term.) The Bronte sisters were neurotic, and it’s because they were neurotic that they read all those books and became writers. The famous French advertising slogan that says, “When you love life, you go to the movies,” it’s false! It’s exactly the opposite: when you don’t love life, or when life doesn’t give you satisfaction, you go to the movies. Francois Truffaut
For life is practically a battle. To all intents and purposes a battle. Except for a few lucky fellows who can read books, and so avoid the realities. E. M. Forster
When my head is in the typewriter the last thing on my mind is some imaginary reader. I don’t have an audience; I have a set of standards. But when I think of my work out in the world, written and published, I like to imagine it’s being read by some stranger somewhere who doesn’t have anyone around him to talk to about books and writing—maybe a would-be writer, maybe a little lonely, who depends on a certain kind of writing to make him feel more comfortable in the world. Don DeLillo
Kate Mosse quote: "Free and fair access to books - to reading - is a right and..."
Free and fair access to books - to reading - is a right and one we should fight for. Kate Mosse
I've loved science fiction ever since I was a little kid, mainly from looking at the covers of science-fiction magazines and books, and I've read quite extensively as an adult. Matt Groening
Gale Gordon quote: "My wife and I love to read. We're going to have to move out to..."
My wife and I love to read. We're going to have to move out to make room for the books! And we have our dogs. Gale Gordon
