Books - reading
Reading is equivalent to thinking with someone else's head instead of with one's own.

Best Quotes about Books - reading
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
A library is thought in cold storage.
Samuel, Herbert
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
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
Who kills a man kills a reasonable creature, God's image, but thee who destroys a good book, kills reason itself.
Milton, John
Reading the Scriptures is an uplifting experience.
It is books that teach us to refine our pleasures when young, and to recall them with satisfaction when we are old.
Hunt, Leigh
The books we read should be chosen with great care, that they may be, as an Egyptian king wrote over his library, The medicines of the soul.
Hood, Paxton
One always tends to overpraise a long book, because one has got through it.
Forster, Edward M.
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
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
A real book is not one that we read, but one that reads us.
Auden, W. H.
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
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
A successful book cannot afford to be more than ten percent new.
Mcluhan, Marshall
I would sooner read a timetable or a catalog than nothing at all.
Maugham, W. Somerset
I am a part of everything that I have read.
Kieran, John
To feel most beautifully alive means to be reading something beautiful, ready always to apprehend in the flow of language the sudden flash of poetry.
Bachelard, Gaston
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
Miss a meal if you have to, but don't miss a book.
Rohn, Jim
There are worse crimes than burning books. One of them is not reading them.
Brodsky, Joseph
One sheds one's sicknesses in books -- repeats and presents again one's emotions, to be master of them.
Lawrence, D. H.
A dose of poison can do its work but once. A bad book can go on poisoning minds for generations.
Murray, William
Next to acquiring good friends, the best acquisition is that of good books.
Colton, Charles Caleb
Beware of the person of one book.
Aquinas, St. Thomas
There is creative reading as well as creative writing.
Emerson, Ralph Waldo
The books that everybody admires are those that nobody reads.
France, Anatole
In science, read by preference the newest works. In literature, read the oldest. The classics are always modern.
Lytton, Lord Edward
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
Those who do not read are no better off than those who cannot read.
Read as you taste fruit or savor wine, or enjoy friendship, love or life.
Jackson, Holbrook
Prerequisite for rereadability in books: that they be forgettable.
Rostand, Jean
To sit alone in the lamplight with a book spread out before you hold intimate converse with men of unseen generations -- such is pleasure beyond compare.
Kenko, Yoshida
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
The constant habit of perusing devout books is so indispensable, that it has been termed the oil of the lamp of prayer. Too much reading, however, and too little meditation, may produce the effect of a lamp inverted; which is extinguished by the very excess of that ailment, whose property is to feed it.
More, Hannah
The pleasure of reading is doubled when one lives with another who shares the same books.
Mansfield, Katherine
There is no robber worse than a bad book.
Proverb, Italian
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
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
The most foolish kind of a book is a kind of leaky boat on the sea of wisdom; some of the wisdom will get in anyhow.
Holmes, Oliver Wendell
Of all the ways of acquiring books, writing them oneself is regarded as the most praiseworthy method. Writers are really people who write books not because they are poor, but because they are dissatisfied with the books which they could buy but do not like.
Benjamin, Walter
Books are lighthouses erected in the great sea of time.
Whipple, Edwin P.
After all manner of professors have done their best for us, the place we are to get knowledge is in books. The true university of these days is a collection of books.
Carlyle, Thomas
People are much more willing to lend you books than bookcases.
Twain, Mark
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
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.
With one day's reading a man may have the key in his hands.
Pound, Ezra
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.
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
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
