Every book has a soul, the soul of the person who wrote it and the soul of those who read it and dream about it Picture Quote #1

When I buy a new book, I always read the last page first, that way in case I die before I finish, I know how it ends. That, my friend, is a dark side Picture Quote #1

It’s hard to be wrongfully accused, but it’s worse when the people looking down on you are clods who have never read a book or traveled more than twenty miles from the place they were born Picture Quote #1

Writing a book has about it some of the anxiety of telling a joke and having to wait several years to know whether or not it was funny Picture Quote #1

... the desert, where there is the communal book of moonlight. We were among the rumour of wells. In the palace of winds Picture Quote #1

One kind of good book should leave you asking: how did the author know that about me? Picture Quote #1

A plate of apples, an open fire, and a jolly good book are a fair substitute for heaven Picture Quote #1

God knows what possessed me, but having that science book in my hand propelled me to immediate action. So I hit her with it Picture Quote #1

Reading a good book in silence is like eating chocolate for the rest of your life and never getting fat Picture Quote #1

If I finish a book a week, I will read only a few thousand books in my lifetime, about a tenth of a percent of the contents of the greatest libraries of our time. The trick is to know which books to read Picture Quote #1

When you read the book you see that these guys aren’t holding any punches. They’re straightforward. They’re honest. They’re giving you their honest opinion Picture Quote #1

There are many people who reach their conclusions about life like schoolboys: they cheat their master by copying the answer out of a book without having worked the sum out for themselves Picture Quote #1

You’re not a human till you’re in my phone book. There. My hat is now in the political ring Picture Quote #1

I get a thick book full of death, destruction, strife, and chaos. That’s what I take with my morning tea Picture Quote #1

I would advise you to read with a pen in your hand and enter in a little book short hints of what you feel that is common or that may be useful; for this will be the best method of imprinting such portcullis in your memory Picture Quote #1

Over the holidays, and even during filming, I realized that I actually like my body, even if it’s not perfect according to the book. I just feel sexy. For the first time, I don’t want to get rid of the curves. I just want to tone it up. My body is comfortable, and it’s not unhealthy, so I’m going to rock with it Picture Quote #1

Writing a book is an adventure. To begin with it is a toy and an amusement. Then it becomes a mistress, then it becomes a master, then it becomes a tyrant. The last phase is that just as you are about to be reconciled to your servitude, you kill the monster and fling him to the public Picture Quote #1

I think every professor and writer is in some way an exhibitionist because his or her normal activity is a theatrical one. When you give a lesson the situation is the same as writing a book. You have to capture the attention, the complicity of your audience Picture Quote #1

For most people, what is so painful about reading is that you read something and you don’t have anybody to share it with. In part what the book club opens up is that people can read a book and then have someone else to talk about it with. Then they see that a book can lead to the pleasure of conversation, that the solitary act of reading can actually be a part of the path to communion and community Picture Quote #1
