Motivational Quotes
Books - reading
I know every book of mine by its smell, and I have but to put my nose between the pages to be reminded of all sorts of things.

Best Quotes about Books - reading
Don't just read the easy stuff. You may be entertained by it, but you will never grow from it.
Rohn, Jim
Books had instant replay long before televised sports.
Williams, Bert
The good parts of a book may be only something a writer is lucky enough to overhear or it may be the wreck of his whole damn life --and one is as good as the other.
Hemingway, Ernest
Much reading is an oppression of the mind, and extinguishes the natural candle, which is the reason of so many senseless scholars in the world.
Penn, William
For a good book has this quality, that it is not merely a petrifaction of its author, but that once it has been tossed behind, like Deucalion's little stone, it acquires a separate and vivid life of its own.
Lejeune, Caroline
He had read much, if one considers his long life; but his contemplation was much more than his reading. He was wont to say that if he had read as much as other men he should have known no more than other men.
Aubrey, John
Surviving and thriving as a professional today demands two new approaches to the written word. First, it requires a new approach to orchestrating information, by skillfully choosing what to read and what to ignore. Second, it requires a new approach to integrating information, by reading faster and with greater comprehension.
Calano, Jimmy
I love to lose myself in other men's minds. When I am not walking, I am reading. I cannot sit and think; books think for me.
Lamb, Charles
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
The newest books are those that never grow old.
Jackson, George Holbrook
The books one reads in childhood, and perhaps most of all the bad and good bad books, create in one's mind a sort of false map of the world, a series of fabulous countries into which one can retreat at odd moments throughout the rest of life, and which in some cases can survive a visit to the real countries which they are supposed to represent.
Orwell, George
You will be the same person in five as you are today except for the people you meet and the books you read.
Jones, Charles ''Tremendous''
A good book is the very essence of a good man. His virtues survive in it, while the foibles and faults of his actual life are forgotten. All the goodly company of the excellent and great sit around my table, or look down on me from yonder shelves, waiting patiently to answer my questions and enrich me with their wisdom. A precious book is a foretaste of immortality.
Cuyler, Theodore L.
A good title is the title of a successful book.
Chandler, Raymond
It does not follow because many books are written by persons born in America that there exists an American literature. Books which imitate or represent the thoughts and life of Europe do not constitute an American literature. Before such can exist, an original idea must animate this nation and fresh currents of life must call into life fresh thoughts along the shore.
Fuller, Margaret
A bibliophile of little means is likely to suffer often. Books don't slip from his hands but fly past him through the air, high as birds, high as prices.
Neruda, Pablo
Books succeed, and lives fail.
Browning, Elizabeth Barrett
Everything in the world exists to end up in a book.
Mallarme, Stephane
I would sooner read a timetable or a catalog than nothing at all.
Maugham, W. Somerset
Books to judicious compilers, are useful; to particular arts and professions, they are absolutely necessary; to men of real science, they are tools: but more are tools to them.
Johnson
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
Once we have learned to read, meaning of words can somehow register without consciousness.
Marcel, Anthony
I am a part of everything that I have read.
Kieran, John
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.
Books and marriage go ill together.
Moliere
Books are the bees which carry the quickening pollen from one to another mind.
Lowell, James Russell
There is creative reading as well as creative writing.
Emerson, Ralph Waldo
Books that you carry to the fire, and hold readily in your hand, are most useful after all.
Johnson, Samuel
If I have not read a book before, it is, for all intents and purposes, new to me whether it was printed yesterday or three hundred years ago.
Hazlitt, William
You will find most books worth reading are worth reading twice.
Morely, John
What is a diary as a rule? A document useful to the person who keeps it. Dull to the contemporary who reads it and invaluable to the student, centuries afterwards, who treasures it.
Terry, Helen
People are much more willing to lend you books than bookcases.
Twain, Mark
Nine-tenths of the existing books are nonsense and the clever books are the refutation of that nonsense.
Disraeli, Benjamin
There are worse crimes than burning books. One of them is not reading them.
Brodsky, Joseph
Every man is a volume if you know how to read him.
Channing, William Ellery
Some books leave us free and some books make us free.
Emerson, Ralph Waldo
What we become depends on what we read after all the professors have finished with us. The greatest university of all is the collection of books.
Carlyle, Thomas
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
The book to read is not the one which thinks for you, but the one which makes you think. No book in the world equals the Bible for that.
Mccosh
Book love... is your pass to the greatest, the purest, and the most perfect pleasure that God has prepared for His creatures.
Trollope, Anthony
Old books that have ceased to be of service should no more be abandoned than should old friends who have ceased to give pleasure.
Worsthorne, Sir Peregrine
The words of my book nothing, the drift of it everything.
Whitman, Walt
Digressions, incontestably, are the sunshine; they are the life, the soul of reading! Take them out of this book, for instance, --you might as well take the book along with them; --one cold external winter would reign in every page of it; restore them to the writer; --he steps forth like a bridegroom, --bids All-hail; brings in variety, and forbids the appetite to fail.
Sterne, Laurence
The lessons taught in great books are misleading. The commerce in life is rarely so simple and never so just.
Brookner, Anita
When you reread a classic, you do not see more in the book than you did before; you see more in you than there was before.
Fadiman, Clifton
The book salesman should be honored because he brings to our attention, as a rule, the very books we need most and neglect most.
Crane, Frank
Read nothing that you do not care to remember, and remember nothing you do not mean to use.
Blackie, Professor
You will, I am sure, agree with me that... if page 534 only finds us in the second chapter, the length of the first one must have been really intolerable.
Doyle, Sir Arthur Conan
The book you don't read won't help.
Rohn, Jim
Books give not wisdom where none was before. But where some is, there reading makes it more.
Harington, John
