Best Quotes about Books - reading

1.
The Brahmins say that in their books there are many predictions of times in which it will rain. But press those books as strongly as you can, you can not get out of them a drop of water. So you can not get out of all the books that contain the best precepts the smallest good deed.
Tolstoy, Count Leo

2.
To buy books would be a good thing if we also could buy the time to read them.
Schopenhauer, Arthur

3.
Miss a meal if you have to, but don't miss a book.
Rohn, Jim

4.
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.

5.
I am not a speed reader. I am a speed understander.
Asimov, Isaac

6.
A bad book is as much of a labor to write as a good one; it comes as sincerely from the author's soul.
Huxley, Aldous

7.
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

Rohn, Jim

9.
My early and invincible love of reading I would not exchange for all the riches of India.
Gibbon, Edward

10.
Don't ask me who's influenced me. A lion is made up of the lambs he's digested, and I've been reading all my life.
Seferis, Giorgos

11.
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

12.
There are worse crimes than burning books. One of them is not reading them.
Brodsky, Joseph

13.
A novel points out that the world consists entirely of exceptions.
Carey, Joyce

14.
Any book that helps a child to form a habit of reading, to make reading one of his deep and continuing needs, is good for him.
McKenna, Richard

15.
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

16.
Reading is equivalent to thinking with someone else's head instead of with one's own.
Schopenhauer, Arthur

17.
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

18.
Books constitute capital. A library book lasts as long as a house, for hundreds of years. It is not, then, an article of mere consumption but fairly of capital, and often in the case of professional men, setting out in life, it is their only capital.
Jefferson, Thomas

19.
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

20.
Happy is he who has laid up in his youth, and held fast in all fortune, a genuine and passionate love for reading.
Choate, Rufus

21.
No entertainment is so cheap as reading, nor is any pleasure so lasting.
Montagu, Lady Mary Wortley

22.
I am what libraries and librarians have made me, with little assistance from a professor of Greek and poets.
Sandwell, B. K.

23.
Books are the bees which carry the quickening pollen from one to another mind.
Lowell, James Russell

24.
I always like to look on the optimistic side of life, but I am realistic enough to know that life is a complex matter.
Disney, Walt

25.
It is from books that wise people derive consolation in the troubles of life.
Hugo, Victor

26.
Next to acquiring good friends, the best acquisition is that of good books.
Colton, Charles Caleb

27.
Tradition is but a meteor, which, if it once falls, cannot be rekindled. Memory, once interrupted, is not to be recalled. But written learning is a fixed luminary, which, after the cloud that had hidden it has passed away, is again bright in its proper station. So books are faithful repositories, which may be awhile neglected or forgotten, but when opened again, will again impart instruction.
Johnson

28.
Old books, you know well, are books of the world's youth, and new books are the fruits of its age.
Holmes, Oliver Wendell

29.
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

30.
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

31.
A library is thought in cold storage.
Samuel, Herbert

32.
A successful book cannot afford to be more than ten percent new.
Mcluhan, Marshall

33.
A book that is shut is but a block.
Fuller, Thomas

34.
A book might be written on the injustice of the just.
Hope, Anthony

35.
The world may be full of fourth-rate writers but it's also full of fourth-rate readers.
Barstow, Stan

36.
I don't think any good book is based on factual experience. Bad books are about things the writer already knew before he wrote them.
Fuentes, Carlos

37.
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

38.
People are much more willing to lend you books than bookcases.
Twain, Mark

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

In the case of good books, the point is not how many of them you can get through, but rather how many can get through to you.

The reason that fiction is more interesting than any other form of literature, to those who really like to study people, is that in fiction the author can really tell the truth without humiliating himself.
Roosevelt, Eleanor

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

The oldest books are still only just out to those who have not read them.
Butler, Samuel

50.
Read Homer once, and you can read no more. For all books else appear so mean, and so poor. Verse will seem prose; but still persist to read, and Homer will be all the books you need.
Buckingham, Duke of
