Best Quotes about Books - reading

1.
Books are lighthouses erected in the great sea of time.
Whipple, Edwin P.

2.
Books are divided into two classes, the books of the hour and the books of all time.
Ruskin, John

3.
I am what libraries and librarians have made me, with little assistance from a professor of Greek and poets.
Sandwell, B. K.

4.
Reading a book is like re-writing it for yourself. You bring to a novel, anything you read, all your experience of the world. You bring your history and you read it in your own terms.
Carter, Angela

5.
Except a living man there is nothing more wonderful than a book! a message to us from the dead -- from human souls we never saw, who lived, perhaps, thousands of miles away. And yet these, in those little sheets of paper, speak to us, arouse us, terrify us, teach us, comfort us, open their hearts to us as brothers.
Kingsley, Charles

6.
Everywhere I have sought rest and not found it, except sitting in a corner by myself with a little book.
Kempis, Thomas

I always begin at the left with the opening word of the sentence and read toward the right and I recommend this method.
Thurber, James

True, Herbert

The reading of all good books is like a conversation with all the finest men of past centuries.
Descartes, Rene

10.
Here, my dear Lucy, hide these books. Quick, quick! Fling Peregrine Pickle under the toilette --throw Roderick Random into the closet --put The Innocent Adultery into The Whole Duty of Man; thrust Lord Aimworth under the sofa! cram Ovid behind the bolster; there --put The Man of Feeling into your pocket. Now for them.
Sheridan, Richard Brinsley

11.
A man ought to read just as his inclination leads him; for what he reads as a task will do him little good.
Johnson, Samuel

12.
There is no such thing as a moral book or an immoral book. Books are well written or badly written. That is all.
Wilde, Oscar

13.
'Tis pleasant, sure, to see one's name in print; A book's a book, although there's nothing in it.
Byron, Lord

14.
Books are the blessed chloroform of the mind.
Chambers, Robert

15.
The books we think we ought to read are poky, dull, and dry; The books that we would like to read we are ashamed to buy; The books that people talk about we never can recall; And the books that people give us, oh, they're the worst of all.
Wells, Carolyn

16.
Books are not men and yet they stay alive.
Benet, Stephen Vincent

17.
Thank you for sending me a copy of your book -- I'll waste no time reading it.
Hadas, Moses

18.
Most books, like their authors, are born to die; of only a few books can it be said that death has no dominion over them; they live, and their influence lives forever.
Swartz, J.

19.
Books in a large university library system: 2, 000,000. Books in an average large city library: 1 0,000. Average number of books in a chain bookstore: 30, 000. Books in an average neighborhood branch library: 20, 000.
Horowitz, Lois

Those who do not read are no better off than those who cannot read.

24.
Fiction reveals truth that reality obscures.
West, Jessamyn

25.
Book love... is your pass to the greatest, the purest, and the most perfect pleasure that God has prepared for His creatures.
Trollope, Anthony

26.
The age of the book is almost gone.
Steiner, George

27.
Reading the Scriptures is an uplifting experience.

28.
A book is a mirror: If an ass peers into it, you can't expect an apostle to look out.
Lichtenberg, Georg C.

29.
We are too civil to books. For a few golden sentences we will turn over and actually read a volume of four or five hundred pages.
Emerson, Ralph Waldo

If a book comes from the heart it will contrive to reach other hearts. All art and author craft are of small account to that.
Carlyle, Thomas

36.
The books that the world calls immoral are the books that show the world its own shame.
Wilde, Oscar

37.
A bad book is the worse that it cannot repent. It has not been the devil's policy to keep the masses of mankind in ignorance; but finding that they will read, he is doing all in his power to poison their books.
Kirk, E.N.

38.
Education... has produced a vast population able to read but unable to distinguish what is worth reading, an easy prey to sensations and cheap appeals.
Trevelyan, G. M.

You will find most books worth reading are worth reading twice.
Morely, John

40.
Don't just read the easy stuff. You may be entertained by it, but you will never grow from it.
Rohn, Jim

41.
Old books, you know well, are books of the world's youth, and new books are the fruits of its age.
Holmes, Oliver Wendell

The books one has written in the past have two surprises in store: one couldn't write them again, and wouldn't want to.
Rostand, Jean

45.
In the dark colony of night, when I consider man's magnificent capacity for malice, madness, folly, envy, rage, and destructiveness, and I wonder whether we shall not end up as breakfast for newts and polyps, I seem to hear the muffled cries of all the words in all the books with covers closed.
Rosten, Leo
