Reading Quotes (page 37)

Miguel de Unamuno quote: "The less we read, the more harmful it is what we read."
The less we read, the more harmful it is what we read. Miguel de Unamuno
My books are a subject of much discussion. They pour from shelves onto tables, chairs and the floor, and Chaz observes that I haven’t read many of them and I never will. You just never know. One day I may — need is the word I use — to read Finnegans Wake, the Icelandic sagas, Churchill’s history of the Second World War, the complete Tintin in French, 47 novels by Simenon, and By Love Possessed. Roger Ebert
Distrust the book which reads too easily because such writing appeals more to the senses than to the intellect. Hard reading exercises the mind. John Phillips Marquand
Year followed struggling year for me, and all that time I read--I suppose few have ever read so. I began, as most young people do, by reading the books I enjoyed. But I found that narrowed my pleasure... Gene Wolfe
Larry McMurtry quote: "i'd hate to read all these books...that much reading could put..."
i'd hate to read all these books...that much reading could put your eyes out. Larry McMurtry
He wanted nothing, for the time being, except to understand .... Without advice, assistance or plan, he began reading an incongruous assortment of books; he would find some passage which he could not understand in one book, and he would get another on that subject .... There was no order in his reading; but there was order in what remained of it in his mind. Ayn Rand
Thomas Carlyle quote: "If time is precious, no book that will not improve by repeated..."
If time is precious, no book that will not improve by repeated readings deserves to be read at all. Thomas Carlyle
What one wrote playfully, another reads with tension and passion; what one wrote with tension and passion, another reads playfully. Paul Valery
George R. R. Martin quote: "A man who reads lives a thousand lives, a man who never reads..."
A man who reads lives a thousand lives, a man who never reads lives only one. George R. R. Martin
Only for today, I will devote ten minutes of my time to some good reading, remembering that just as food is necessary to the life of the body, so good reading is necessary to the life of the soul Pope John XXIII
I was an "Omnivore." Like a lot of people, I didn't know any better. Then I read a couple of books. One of them was called How Chickens Are Raped Before You Eat Them. Another was called Hotdogs and Fingertips. I also read The Cow Feces Dilemma as well as Barf, STDs and Veal. Demetri Martin
Horace quote: "What we read with pleasure we read again with pleasure."
What we read with pleasure we read again with pleasure. Horace
It is perhaps in reading a love story (or in writing one) that we can simultaneously partake of the ecstasy and agony of being in love without paying a crippling emotional price. I offer this book, then, as a cure for lovesickness and an antidote to adultery. Read these love stories in the safety of your single bed. Let everybody else suffer. Jeffrey Eugenides
You don't read it in the sense of reading a message; it doesn't work like that. What's happening is that the Shadows are responding to the attention you pay them. Philip Pullman
Symbols and emblems were everywhere. Buildings and pictures were designed to be read like books. Everything stood for something else; if you had the right dictionary, you could read Nature itself. It was hardly surprising to find philosophers using the symbolism of their time to interpret knowledge that came from a mysterious source. Philip Pullman
