Motivational Quotes
Books - reading
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.

Best Quotes about Books - reading
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
Books are lighthouses erected in the great sea of time.
Whipple, Edwin P.
When we read a story, we inhabit it. The covers of the book are like a roof and four walls. What is to happen next will take place within the four walls of the story. And this is possible because the story's voice makes everything its own.
Berger, John
Read as you taste fruit or savor wine, or enjoy friendship, love or life.
Jackson, Holbrook
The age of the book is almost gone.
Steiner, George
Books and marriage go ill together.
Moliere
No furniture is so charming as books.
Smith, Sydney
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.
A great book should leave you with many experiences and slightly exhausted at the end. You should live several lives while reading it.
Styron, William
Books are but waste paper unless we spend in action the wisdom we get from thought -- asleep. When we are weary of the living, we may repair to the dead, who have nothing of peevishness, pride, or design in their conversation.
Collier, Jeremy
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
Books are not men and yet they stay alive.
Benet, Stephen Vincent
God be thanked for books; they are the voices of the distant and the dead, and make us heirs of the spiritual life of past ages.
Channing, William Ellery
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
A novel points out that the world consists entirely of exceptions.
Carey, Joyce
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
The books that everybody admires are those that nobody reads.
France, Anatole
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
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
The books that the world calls immoral are the books that show the world its own shame.
Wilde, Oscar
The man who does not read books has no advantage over the man that can not read them.
Twain, Mark
A successful book cannot afford to be more than ten percent new.
Mcluhan, Marshall
Five daily newspapers arrive in my California driveway. The New York times and the Wall Street Journal are supplemented by three local papers. As for magazines, I read, or at least skim, Business Week, Forbes, The Economist, INC; Industry Week, Fortune. Other subscriptions include Sales and Marketing Management, Modern Health Care, Progressive Grocer, High Tech Business, and Slaon Management Review from MIT. I religiously read Business Tokyo, Asia Week, and Far Eastern Economic Review. I glance at Newsweek and Time ... but I devour the New Republic, Policy Review, Foreign Affairs, The Washington Monthly, and Public Interest. How about books? A dozen or more each month.
Peters, Thomas J.
Nine-tenths of the existing books are nonsense and the clever books are the refutation of that nonsense.
Disraeli, Benjamin
Many books require no thought from those who read them, and for a very simple reason: they made no such demand upon those who wrote them. Those works, therefore, are the most valuable, that set our thinking faculties in the fullest operation. understand them.
Clarendon
Books are the bees which carry the quickening pollen from one to another mind.
Lowell, James Russell
The lessons taught in great books are misleading. The commerce in life is rarely so simple and never so just.
Brookner, Anita
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
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
Read good, big important things.
Noonan, Peggy
Books had instant replay long before televised sports.
Williams, Bert
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
Every abridgement of a good book is a fool abridged.
Montaigne, Michel Eyquem De
Once we have learned to read, meaning of words can somehow register without consciousness.
Marcel, Anthony
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.
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
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
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
You should read books like you take medicine, by advice, and not by advertisement.
Ruskin, John
Books are standing counselors and preachers, always at hand, and always disinterested; having this advantage over oral instructors, that they are ready to repeat their lesson as often as we please.
Chambers, Oswald
Thank you for sending me a copy of your book -- I'll waste no time reading it.
Hadas, Moses
The power of a text is different when it is read from when it is copied out. Only the copied text thus commands the soul of him who is occupied with it, whereas the mere reader never discovers the new aspects of his inner self that are opened by the text, that road cut through the interior jungle forever closing behind it: because the reader follows the movement of his mind in the free flight of day-dreaming, whereas the copier submits it to command.
Benjamin, Walter
When you have mastered numbers, you will in fact no longer be reading numbers, any more than you read words when reading books You will be reading meanings.
Geneen, Harold S.
I divide all readers into two classes: those who read to remember and those who read to forget.
Phelps, William Lyon
With one day's reading a man may have the key in his hands.
Pound, Ezra
The things I want to know are in books; my best friend is the man who'll get me a book I ain't read.
Lincoln, Abraham
Footnotes are the finer-suckered surfaces that allow testicular paragraphs to hold fast to the wider reality of the library.
Baker, Nicholson
Books are those faithful mirrors that reflect to our mind the minds of sages and heroes.
Gibbon, Edward
Books succeed, and lives fail.
Browning, Elizabeth Barrett
A book might be written on the injustice of the just.
Hope, Anthony
