Read Quotes (page 50)

There is no shortage of good days. It is good lives that are hard to come by. A life of good days lived in the senses is not enough. The life of sensation is the life of greed; it requires more and more. The life of the spirit requires less and less; time is ample and its passage sweet. Who would call a day spent reading a good day? But a life spent reading -- that is a good life. Annie Dillard
It is strange that there should be so little reading in the world, and so much writing. People in general do not willingly read, if they can have any thing else to amuse them. Samuel Johnson
Jim Rohn quote: "Those who will not read are no better off than those who..."
Those who will not read are no better off than those who cannot read. Jim Rohn
I once received a letter from an old lady in California who informed me that when the tired reader comes home at night, he wishes to read something that will lift up his heart. And it seems her heart had not been lifted up by anything of mine she had read. I think that if her heart had been in the right place, it would have been lifted up. Flannery O'Connor
[When] he's here, he's always reading. He says books stop time. I myself think he's crazy...Don't tell anyone, but when he reads something that he likes he gets real happy, turns on the music, and dances by himself, or with a broom sometimes. Mark Helprin
Ok now--I don't read "all the time." Remember, that these ratings are over quite a while. I'll try to put in some comments over what I've been reading lately. I like Vince Flynn's spy/thrillers. Also, check out Umberto Eco's one "On Beauty"--not the precise title, but great art/comments. Also, Sophie's World if you like a pretty unusual story with philosophy mixed in. Umberto Eco
I'm not ashamed of any of my papers at all and I'm rather sick of snobs that tell us that they're bad papers, snobs who only read papers that no one else wants. I doubt if they read many papers at all. Rupert Murdoch
It is a common temptation of Satan to make us give up the reading of the Word and prayer when our enjoyment is gone; as if it were of no use to read the Scriptures when we do not enjoy them, and as if it were no use to pray when we have no spirit of prayer. George Muller
George Muller quote: "The less we read the Word of God, the less we desire to read..."
The less we read the Word of God, the less we desire to read it, and the less we pray, the less we desire to pray. George Muller
For whatever reason, people, including very well-educated people or people otherwise interested in reading, do not read poetry. Paul Muldoon
All prizes have a role, if they are run with integrity and with a clear focus on reading and quality writing. I don't think any of them is necessary, but they all play an incredibly important role in building a body of literature, in introducing new authors to new readers, and extending reading. Kate Mosse
My landlady, who is only a tailor's widow, reads her Milton; and tells me, that her late husband first fell in love with her on this very account: because she read Milton with such proper emphasis. Karl Philipp Moritz
Rick Moody quote: "I'm trying to read more dead people because I keep having to..."
I'm trying to read more dead people because I keep having to read stuff for juries and so forth. Rick Moody
Dwight L. Moody quote: "Where one man reads the Bible, a hundred read you and me."
Where one man reads the Bible, a hundred read you and me. Dwight L. Moody
I have only ever read one book in my life, and that is White Fang. It's so frightfully good I've never bothered to read another. Nancy Mitford
