Best Quotes about Books
Be careful about reading health books. You may die of a misprint.
Mark Twain
The love of learning, the sequestered nooks, And all the sweet serenity of books.
Henry Wadsworth Longfellow
I've never known any trouble that an hour's reading didn't assuage.
Charles De Secondat
This book fills a much-needed gap.
Moses Hadas
This is my favorite book in all the world, though I have never read it.
William Goldman
A good novel tells us the truth about its hero; but a bad novel tells us the truth about its author.
G. K. Chesterton
I think it is good that books still exist, but they do make me sleepy.
Frank Zappa
This paperback is very interesting, but I find it will never replace a hardcover book - it makes a very poor doorstop.
Alfred Hitchcock
I have read your book and much like it.
Moses Hadas
Reading is to the mind what exercise is to the body.
Sir Richard Steele
Outside of a dog, a book is man's best friend. Inside of a dog it's too dark to read.
Groucho Marx
Life-transforming ideas have always come to me through books.
Bell Hooks
There is a great deal of difference between an eager man who wants to read a book and the tired man who wants a book to read.
G. K. Chesterton
When I step into this library, I cannot understand why I ever step out of it.
Marie de Sevigne
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.
W. Somerset Maugham
A truly great book should be read in youth, again in maturity and once more in old age, as a fine building should be seen by morning light, at noon and by moonlight.
Robertson Davies
Live always in the best company when you read.
Sydney Smith
From the moment I picked up your book until I laid it down, I was convulsed with laughter. Some day I intend reading it.
Groucho Marx
Wear the old coat and buy the new book.
Austin Phelps
Oh for a book and a shady nook...
John Wilson
There's a certain kind of conversation you have from time to time at parties in New York about a new book. The word "banal" sometimes rears its by-now banal head; you say "underedited," I say "derivative." The conversation goes around and around various literary criticisms, and by the time it moves on one thing is clear: No one read the book; we just read the reviews.
Anna Quindlen
Reading this book is like waiting for the first shoe to drop.
Ralph Novak
Books are the quietest and most constant of friends; they are the most accessible and wisest of counsellors, and the most patient of teachers.
Charles W. Eliot
Reading well is one of the great pleasures that solitude can afford you.
Harold Bloom
The only obligation to which in advance we may hold a novel, without incurring the accusation of being arbitrary, is that it be interesting.
Henry James
When I am attacked by gloomy thoughts, nothing helps me so much as running to my books. They quickly absorb me and banish the clouds from my mind.
Michel de Montaigne
Read at least one book a month. This is self-serving, obviously. It's a proven fact that people who read buy more books than people who don't read. In truth, I wish you'd read ten books a month, or at least buy that many.
Randy Pausch
Books to the ceiling, Books to the sky, My pile of books is a mile high. How I love them! How I need them! I'll have a long beard by the time I read them.
Arnold Lobel
Thank you for sending me a copy of your book. I'll waste no time reading it.
Moses Hadas
Books...are like lobster shells, we surround ourselves with'em, then we grow out of'em and leave'em behind, as evidence of our earlier stages of development.
Dorothy L. Sayers
Properly, we should read for power. Man reading should be man intensely alive. The book should be a ball of light in one's hand.
Ezra Pound
Reading is sometimes an ingenious device for avoiding thought.
Sir Arthur Helps
Never read a book through merely because you have begun it.
John Witherspoon
Do give books - religious or otherwise - for Christmas. They're never fattening, seldom sinful, and permanently personal.
Lenore Hershey
It was a book to kill time for those who like it better dead.
Dame Rose Macaulay
Woe be to him that reads but one book.
George Herbert
Some books are undeservedly forgotten; none are undeservedly remembered.
W. H. Auden
The multitude of books is making us ignorant.
Voltaire
Read not to contradict and confute, nor to find talk and discourse, but to weigh and consider.
Sir Francis Bacon
To be a book-collector is to combine the worst characteristics of a dope fiend with those of a miser.
Robertson Davies
Be as careful of the books you read, as of the company you keep; for your habits and character will be as much influenced by the former as by the latter.
Paxton Hood
In the highest civilization, the book is still the highest delight. He who has once known its satisfactions is provided with a resource against calamity.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Fahrenheit 451 is one of those books that is about how amazing books are and how amazing the people who write books are. Writers love writing books like this, and for some reason, we let them get away with it.
Josh Lieb
I declare after all there is no enjoyment like reading! How much sooner one tires of anything than of a book! When I have a house of my own, I shall be miserable if I have not an excellent library.
Jane Austen
Resolve to edge in a little reading every day, if it is but a single sentence. If you gain fifteen minutes a day, it will make itself felt at the end of the year.
Horace Mann
You can cover a great deal of country in books.
Andrew Lang
There is no mistaking a real book when one meets it. It is like falling in love.
Christopher Morley
A room without books is like a body without a soul.
Cicero
Knowing I lov'd my books, he furnish'd me From mine own library with volumes that I prize above my dukedom.
William Shakespeare
A book is a version of the world. If you do not like it, ignore it; or offer your own version in return.
Salman Rushdie
