Reading For Pleasure Quotes

The clerisy are those who read for pleasure, but not for idleness; who read for pastime but not to kill time; who love books, but do not live by books. Robertson Davies
As a child, I read science fiction, but from the very beginnings of my reading for pleasure, I read a lot of non-fictional history, particularly historical biography. Norman Spinrad
I try to read for pleasure whenever I can - it's a great way just to shut it off for a while so your brain doesn't get fried. Hillary Clinton
Nora Roberts quote: "I don't believe for one moment you can write well what you..."
I don't believe for one moment you can write well what you wouldn't read for pleasure. Nora Roberts
Fiction is a sort of inter-human magic, allowing you to travel into a scene and feel it tingle on your skin, see it in your mind’s eye and smell it with your mind’s nose! But forming these images from the printed page is a skill you have to develop when you’re fairly young, I think, or else it’s very difficult to read for pleasure later on. Barbara Kingsolver
Margaret Atwood quote: "I read for pleasure and that is the moment I learn the most."
I read for pleasure and that is the moment I learn the most. Margaret Atwood
I merely say that all reading for pleasure is escape, whether it be Greek, mathematics, astronomy, Benedetto Croce, or The Diary of the Forgotten Man. To say otherwise is to be an intellectual snob, and a juvenile at the art of living. Raymond Chandler
Alan Bennett quote: "One reads for pleasure...it is not a public duty."
One reads for pleasure...it is not a public duty. Alan Bennett
Nora Roberts quote: "You can't write well what you don't read for pleasure. If it..."
You can't write well what you don't read for pleasure. If it doesn't entertain you, it's not going to entertain anyone else. Nora Roberts
It is impossible to read for pleasure from something to which you are both father and mother, born in such travail that the writer despises the thing that enslaved him. Jim Bishop
Reading was my escape and my comfort, my consolation, my stimulant of choice: reading for the pure pleasure of it, for the beautiful stillness that surrounds you when you hear an author’s words reverberating in your head Paul Auster

Why do you read then?' Partly for pleasure, because it's a habit and I'm just as uncomfortable if I don't read as if I don't smoke, and partly to know myself. When I read a book I seem to read it with my eyes only, but now and then I come across a passage, perhaps only a phrase, which has a meaning for me, and it becomes part of me; I've got out of the book all that's any use to me and I can't get anything more if I read it a dozen times. ... W. Somerset Maugham
It distresses me that parents insist that their children read or make them read. The best way for children to treasure reading is to see the adults in their lives reading for their own pleasure. Kate DiCamillo
We do not read in order to turn great works of fiction into simplistic replicas of our own realities, we read for the pure, sensual, and unadulterated pleasure of reading. And if we do so, our reward is the discovery of the many hidden layers within these works that do not merely reflect reality but reveal a spectrum of truths, thus intrinsically going against the grain of totalitarian mindsets. Azar Nafisi
