Best Quotes about Books - reading
One always tends to overpraise a long book, because one has got through it.
Forster, Edward M.
Everything in this book may be wrong. [The Savior's Manual]
Bach, Richard
Next, in importance to books are their titles.
Davies, Paul
A vacuum of ideas affects people differently than a vacuum of air, otherwise readers of books would be constantly collapsing.
Lichtenberg, Georg C.
Some books leave us free and some books make us free.
Emerson, Ralph Waldo
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
When I get a little money, I buy books; and if any is left I buy food and clothes.
Erasmus, Desiderius
The unread story is not a story; it is little black marks on wood pulp. The reader, reading it, makes it live: a live thing, a story.
Guin, Ursula K. Le
Nine-tenths of the existing books are nonsense and the clever books are the refutation of that nonsense.
Disraeli, Benjamin
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
The age of the book is almost gone.
Steiner, George
In science read the newest works, in literature read the oldest.
Bulwer-Lytton, Edward G.
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
What is reading, but silent conversation.
Landor, Walter Savage
A big leather-bound volume makes an ideal razor strap. A thin book is useful to stick under a table with a broken caster to steady it. A large, flat atlas can be used to cover a window with a broken pane. And a thick, old-fashioned heavy book with a clasp is the finest thing in the world to throw at a noisy cat.
Twain, Mark
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 world may be full of fourth-rate writers but it's also full of fourth-rate readers.
Barstow, Stan
Next to acquiring good friends, the best acquisition is that of good books.
Colton, Charles Caleb
The printing press is either the greatest blessing or the greatest curse of modern times, sometimes one forgets which it is.
Barrie, Sir James M.
In any situation, ask yourself: What strengths do I possess that can contribute towards accomplishing something in this situation? Then follow through.
A book worth reading is worth buying.
Ruskin, John
One sheds one's sicknesses in books -- repeats and presents again one's emotions, to be master of them.
Lawrence, D. H.
The classics are only primitive literature. They belong to the same class as primitive machinery and primitive music and primitive medicine.
Leacock, Stephen B.
I am what libraries and librarians have made me, with little assistance from a professor of Greek and poets.
Sandwell, B. K.
What is important is not to be able to read rapidly, but to be able to decide what not to read.
Mccay, James T.
A multitude of books distracts the mind.
Socrates
A conventional good read is usually a bad read, a relaxing bath in what we know already. A true good read is surely an act of innovative creation in which we, the readers, become conspirators.
Bradbury, Malcolm
Read as you taste fruit or savor wine, or enjoy friendship, love or life.
Jackson, Holbrook
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
The newest books are those that never grow old.
Jackson, George Holbrook
The flood of print has turned reading into a process of gulping rather than savoring
Chappell, Warren
Begin to read a book that will help you move toward your dream.
Brown, Les
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
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
I suggest that the only books that influence us are those for which we are ready, and which have gone a little further down our particular path than we have yet got ourselves.
Forster, Edward M.
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
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.
Thy books should, like thy friends, not many be, yet such wherein men may thy judgment see.
Wycherley, William
Reading is to the mind what exercise is to the body. It is wholesome and bracing for the mind to have its faculties kept on the stretch.
Steele, Sir Richard
To read too many books is harmful.
Zedong, Mao
A book is a mirror: If an ass peers into it, you can't expect an apostle to look out.
Lichtenberg, Georg C.
A novel points out that the world consists entirely of exceptions.
Carey, Joyce
To read well, that is, to read true books in a true spirit, is a noble exercise, and one that will task the reader more than any other exercise which the customs of the day esteem. It requires a training such as the athletes underwent, the steady intention almost of the whole life to this object.
Thoreau, Henry David
Somewhere, everywhere, now hidden, now apparent in what ever is written down, is the form of a human being. If we seek to know him, are we idly occupied?
Woolf, Virginia
A library is thought in cold storage.
Samuel, Herbert
The multitude of books is a great evil. There is no limit to this fever for writing.
Luther, Martin
She could give herself up to the written word as naturally as a good dancer to music or a fine swimmer to water. The only difficulty was that after finishing the last sentence she was left with a feeling at once hollow and uncomfortably full. Exactly like indigestion.
Rhys, Jean
You are wise, witty and wonderful, but you spend too much time reading this sort of stuff.
Critchfield, Jim
Until I feared I would lose it, I never loved to read. One does not love breathing.
Lee, Harper
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
