Best Quotes about Books - reading

1.
How many a man has dated a new era in his life from the reading of a book! The book exists for us, perchance, that will explain our miracles and reveal new ones. The at present unutterable things we may find somewhere uttered.
Thoreau, Henry David

2.
The books that everybody admires are those that nobody reads.
France, Anatole

3.
The only books that influence us are those for which we are ready, and which have gone a little farther down our particular path than we have yet got ourselves.
Forster, Edward M.

4.
One always tends to overpraise a long book, because one has got through it.
Forster, Edward M.

5.
I suggest that the only books that influence us are those for which we are ready, and which have gone a little further down our particular path than we have yet got ourselves.
Forster, Edward M.

6.
He has only half learned the art of reading who has not added to it the more refined art of skipping and skimming.
Balfour, Arthur James

7.
There is a set of religious, or rather moral, writings which teach that virtue is the certain road to happiness, and vice to misery in this world. A very wholesome and comfortable doctrine, and to which we have but one objection, namely, that it is not true.
Fielding, Henry

8.
He that loves a book will never want a faithful friend, a wholesome counselor, a cheerful companion, an effectual comforter. By study, by reading, by thinking, one may innocently divert and pleasantly entertain himself, as in all weathers, as in all fortunes.
Barrow

9.
Everything you need for better future and success has already been written. And guess what? All you have to do is go to the library.
Rohn, Jim

10.
'Tis pleasant, sure, to see one's name in print; A book's a book, although there's nothing in it.
Byron, Lord

11.
The best effect of any book, is that it excites the reader to self-activity.
Carlyle, Thomas

12.
The unread story is not a story; it is little black marks on wood pulp. The reader, reading it, makes it live: a live thing, a story.
Guin, Ursula K. Le

13.
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

14.
Books and marriage go ill together.
Moliere

15.
Until it is kindled by a spirit as flamingly alive as the one which gave it birth a book is dead to us. Words divested of their magic are but dead hieroglyphs.
Miller, Henry

16.
My early and invincible love of reading I would not exchange for all the riches of India.
Gibbon, Edward

17.
You can either read something many times in order to be assured that you got it all, or else you can define your purpose and use techniques which will assure that you have met it and gotten what you need.
Kump, Peter

18.
The worst readers are those who behave like plundering troops: they take away a few things they can use, dirty and confound the remainder, and revile the whole.
Nietzsche, Friedrich

19.
The multitude of books is a great evil. There is no limit to this fever for writing.
Luther, Martin

20.
The Bible remained for me a book of books, still divine -- but divine in the sense that all great books are divine which teach men how to live righteously.
Keith, Sir Arthur

21.
From the moment I picked your book up until I laid it down I was convulsed with laughter. Some day I intend reading it.
Marx, Groucho

22.
A good book, in the language of the book-sellers, is a salable one; in that of the curious, a scarce one; in that of men of sense, a useful and instructive one.
Chambers, Oswald

23.
You should read books like you take medicine, by advice, and not by advertisement.
Ruskin, John

24.
Readers are less and less seen as mere non-writers, the subhuman other or flawed derivative of the author; the lack of a pen is no longer a shameful mark of secondary status but a positively enabling space, just as within every writer can be seen to lurk, as a repressed but contaminating antithesis, a reader.
Eagleton, Terry

25.
There are books so alive that you're always afraid that while you weren't reading, the book has gone and changed, has shifted like a river; while you went on living, it went on living too, and like a river moved on and moved away. No one has stepped twice into the same river. But did anyone ever step twice into the same book?
Tsvetaeva, Marina

26.
Every man is a volume if you know how to read him.
Channing, William Ellery

27.
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

28.
Until I feared I would lose it, I never loved to read. One does not love breathing.
Lee, Harper

29.
Books are not men and yet they stay alive.
Benet, Stephen Vincent

30.
You will find most books worth reading are worth reading twice.
Morely, John

31.
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

32.
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

33.
All the known world, excepting only savage nations, is governed by books.
Voltaire

34.
Books are those faithful mirrors that reflect to our mind the minds of sages and heroes.
Gibbon, Edward

35.
Today a reader, tomorrow a leader.
Fusselman, W.

36.
A conventional good read is usually a bad read, a relaxing bath in what we know already. A true good read is surely an act of innovative creation in which we, the readers, become conspirators.
Bradbury, Malcolm

37.
Reading the Scriptures is an uplifting experience.

38.
I feel a kind of reverence for the first books of young authors. There is so much aspiration in them, so much audacious hope and trembling fear, so much of the heart's history, that all errors and shortcomings are for a while lost sight of in the amiable self assertion of youth.
Longfellow, Henry Wadsworth

39.
Books are not absolutely dead things, but do contain a certain potency of life in them, to be as active as the soul whose progeny they are; they preserve, as in a vial, the purest efficacy and extraction of the living intellect that bred them.
Milton, John

40.
Very young children eat their books, literally devouring their contents. This is one reason for the scarcity of first editions of Alice in Wonderland and other favorites of the nursery.
Rosenbach, A. S. W.

41.
I heard his library burned down and both books were destroyed -- and one of them hadn't even been colored in yet.
Dawkins, John

42.
When the book comes out it may hurt you -- but in order for me to do it, it had to hurt me first. I can only tell you about yourself as much as I can face about myself.
Baldwin, James

43.
The book you don't read won't help.
Rohn, Jim

44.
Read, read, read. Read everything-- trash, classics, good and bad, and see how they do it. Just like a carpenter who works as an apprentice and studies the master. Read! You'll absorb it. Then write. If it is good, you'll find out. If it's not, throw it out the window.
Faulkner, William

45.
Beware you be not swallowed up in books! An ounce of love is worth a pound of knowledge.
Wesley, John

46.
Does there, I wonder, exist a being who has read all, or approximately all, that the person of average culture is supposed to have read, and that not to have read is a social sin? If such a being does exist, surely he is an old, a very old man.
Bennett, Arnold

47.
Early in the morning, at break of day, in all the freshness and dawn of one's strength, to read a book --I call that vicious!
Nietzsche, Friedrich

48.
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

49.
Books are the best of things if well used; if abused, among the worst. They are good for nothing but to inspire. I had better never see a book than be warped by its attraction clean out of my own orbit, and made a satellite instead of a system.
Emerson, Ralph Waldo

50.
A book is a part of life, a manifestation of life, just as much as a tree or a horse or a star. It obeys its own rhythms, its own laws, whether it be a novel, a play, or a diary. The deep, hidden rhythm of life is always there -- that of the pulse, the heart beat.
Miller, Henry
