Motivational Quotes
Books - reading
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.

Best Quotes about Books - reading
There is creative reading as well as creative writing.
Emerson, Ralph Waldo
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
The chief knowledge that a man gets from reading books is the knowledge that very few of them are worth reading.
Mencken, H. L.
I read the newspaper avidly. It is my one form of continuous fiction.
Bevan, Aneurin
No man understands a deep book until he has seen and lived at least part of its contents.
Pound, Ezra
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
The novel can't compete with cars, the movies, television, and liquor. A guy who's had a good feed and tanked up on good wine gives his old lady a kiss after supper and his day is over. Finished.
Celine, Louis-Ferdinand
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
A house without books is like a room without windows. No man has a right to bring up his children without surrounding them with books, if he has the means to buy them. It is a wrong to his family. Children learn to read by being in the presence of books. The love of knowledge comes with reading and grows upon it. And the love of knowledge, in a young mind, is almost always a warrant against the inferior excitement of passions and vices.
Mann, Horace
Books are the blessed chloroform of the mind.
Chambers, Robert
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.
To use books rightly, is to go to them for help; to appeal to them when our own knowledge and power fail; to be led by them into wider sight and purer conception than our own, and to receive from them the united sentence of the judges and councils of all time, against our solitary and unstable opinions.
Ruskin, John
The real risks for any artist are taken in pushing the work to the limits of what is possible, in the attempt to increase the sum of what it is possible to think. Books become good when they go to this edge and risk falling over it --when they endanger the artist by reason of what he has, or has not, artistically dared.
Rushdie, Salman
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
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
Our high respect for a well read person is praise enough for literature.
Emerson, Ralph Waldo
Books succeed, and lives fail.
Browning, Elizabeth Barrett
The books that everybody admires are those that nobody reads.
France, Anatole
The successful Accelerated Reader is able to read larger than normal blocks or bites of the printed page with each eye stop. He has accepted, without reservation, the philosophy that the most important benefit of reading is the gaining of information, ideas, mental picture and entertainment-not the fretting over words. He has come to the realization that words in and of themselves are for the most part insignificant.
Cutler, Wade E.
A book worth reading is worth buying.
Ruskin, John
There are people who read too much: bibliobibuli. I know some who are constantly drunk on books, as other men are drunk on whiskey or religion. They wander through this most diverting and stimulating of worlds in a haze, seeing nothing and hearing nothing.
Mencken, H. L.
This will never be a civilized country until we expend more money for books than we do for chewing gum.
Hubbard, Elbert
To read too many books is harmful.
Zedong, Mao
This book is not to be tossed lightly aside, but to be hurled with great force.
Parker, Dorothy
Read nothing that you do not care to remember, and remember nothing you do not mean to use.
Blackie, Professor
All the best stories in the world are but one story in reality -- the story of escape. It is the only thing which interests us all and at all times, how to escape.
Benson, Arthur Christopher
I used to walk to school with my nose buried in a book.
Coolio
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
Readers are plentiful: thinkers are rare.
Martineau, Harriet
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
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
A book that is shut is but a block.
Fuller, Thomas
We should be as careful of the books we read, as of the company we keep. The dead very often have more power than the living.
Edwards, Tryon
Books are not men and yet they stay alive.
Benet, Stephen Vincent
The world of books is the most remarkable creation of man nothing else that he builds ever lasts monuments fall; nations perish; civilization grow old and die out; new races build others. But in the world of books are volumes that have seen this happen again and again and yet live on. Still young, still as fresh as the day they were written, still telling men's hearts, of the hearts of men centuries dead.
Day, Clarence
With one day's reading a man may have the key in his hands.
Pound, Ezra
When I am dead, I hope it may be said: His sins were scarlet, but his books were read.
Belloc, Hilaire
The multitude of books is a great evil. There is no limit to this fever for writing.
Luther, Martin
A book is like a man -- clever and dull, brave and cowardly, beautiful and ugly. For every flowering thought there will be a page like a wet and mangy mongrel, and for every looping flight a tap on the wing and a reminder that wax cannot hold the feathers firm too near the sun.
Steinbeck, John
Beware of the person of one book.
Aquinas, St. Thomas
This is not a book. This is libel, slander, defamation of character. This is not a book, in the ordinary sense of the word. No, this is a prolonged insult, a gob of spit in the face of Art, a kick in the pants to God, Man, Destiny, Time, Love, Beauty... what you will. I am going to sing for you, a little off key perhaps, but I will sing.
Miller, Henry
No tears in the writer, no tears in the reader.
Frost, Robert
A library is thought in cold storage.
Samuel, Herbert
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
I feel like I'm drowning. Every night, I'm carrying home loads of things to read but I'm too exhausted. I keep clipping things and Xeroxing them and planning to read them eventually, but I just end up throwing it all away and feeling guilty.
Levine, Ghita
Reading is equivalent to thinking with someone else's head instead of with one's own.
Schopenhauer, Arthur
Books are the bees which carry the quickening pollen from one to another mind.
Lowell, James Russell
The classics are only primitive literature. They belong to the same class as primitive machinery and primitive music and primitive medicine.
Leacock, Stephen B.
Who kills a man kills a reasonable creature, God's image, but thee who destroys a good book, kills reason itself.
Milton, John
A good title is the title of a successful book.
Chandler, Raymond
