Book Quotes

This is my final book. Any subsequent productions bearing my name will have been composed by a ghost Picture Quote #1

The book was at a reasonably high position on the New York Times... Before I was in the country. I thought it would be an interesting experiment to see if my presence here would push it up or down Picture Quote #1

In his book Modern Times, the historian Paul Johnson referred to Hitler, stalin, and Mussolini as the three devils of the twentieth century. Interestingly, nietzshean dogma influenced each of them Picture Quote #1

For the only true sequel is the one that flickers briefly into being in your mind, O my friend by the fireside, in the moments after you read the last paragraph and lay the book down Picture Quote #1

You know I used to be the back porch poet with my book of lines, always hoping knowing all the time, I'm probably never gonna find the perfect rhyme... For heavier things Picture Quote #1

I turned the page in Slaughterhouse Five, a forbidden book at Belmont because we were too young to read about soldiers swearing and bombs dropping and bodies blowing up and war sucking Picture Quote #1

The ideas I stand for are not mine. I borrowed them from Socrates. I swiped them from Chesterfield. I stole them from Jesus. and I put them in a book. If you don't like their rules, whose would you use? Picture Quote #1

For several days after my first book was published, I carried it about in my pocket and took surreptitious peeps at it to make sure the ink had not faded Picture Quote #1

When I'm working on a book, I constantly retype my own sentences. Every day I go back to page one and just retype what I have. It gets me into a rhythm Picture Quote #1

So the Comic Book Legal Defense Fund is out there preserving and fighting for, and sometimes winning and sometimes losing, the fight for First Amendment rights in comics and, more generally, for freedom of speech Picture Quote #1

Was ever book containing such vile matter so fairly bound? O, that deceit should dwell in such a gorgeous palace! Picture Quote #1

In many ways, it was much, much harder to get the first book contract. The hardest thing probably overall has been learning not to trust people, publicists and so forth, implicitly Picture Quote #1

Architecture has recorded the great ideas of the human race. Not only every religious symbol, but every human thought has its page in that vast book Picture Quote #1

What's funny about that is when I was writing Twilight just for myself and not thinking of it as a book, I was not thinking about publishing, and yet at the same time I was casting it in my head. Because when I read books, I see them very visually Picture Quote #1

Every reader finds himself. The writer's work is merely a kind of optical instrument that makes it possible for the reader to discern what, without this book, he would perhaps never have seen in himself Picture Quote #1

A broad margin of leisure is as beautiful in a man's life as in a book. Haste makes waste, no less in life than in housekeeping. Keep the time, observe the hours of the universe, not of the cars Picture Quote #1

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 Picture Quote #1

It is no great art to say something briefly when, like Tacitus, one has something to say; when one has nothing to say, however, and none the less writes a whole book and makes truth into a liar - that I call an achievement Picture Quote #1

I think that some books are more successful than others to certain readers. People who read my books for the humor, they're going to love one book. People who read my books for the mystery, they might not like that book quite as much Picture Quote #1

Since I can barely write two books a year the best solution seems to be co-author projects. My goal isn't to get another writer to clone me. It's more to produce a book that shares my vision of positive, fun entertainment Picture Quote #1

Each has his past shut in him like the leaves of a book known to him by heart and his friends can only read the title Picture Quote #1

This is an important book, the critic assumes, because it deals with war. This is an insignificant book because it deals with the feelings of women in a drawing room Picture Quote #1

It's amazing to see things that are suggested in the book fully developed and so brilliantly realized through the artistry of the designers Picture Quote #1

The books that help you most are those which make you think that most. The hardest way of learning is that of easy reading; but a great book that comes from a great thinker is a ship of thought, deep freighted with truth and beauty Picture Quote #1

The first thing I did when I sold my book was buy a new wedding ring for my wife and asked her to marry me all over again Picture Quote #1

A book is a fragile creature, it suffers the wear of time, it fears rodents, the elements and clumsy hands. So the librarian protects the books not only against mankind but also against nature and devotes his life to this war with the forces of oblivion Picture Quote #1

He hath never fed of the dainties that are bred in a book; he hath not eat paper, as it were; he hath not drunk ink; his intellect is not replenished Picture Quote #1

Moby Dick - that book is so amazing. I just realized that it starts with two characters meeting in bed; that's how my book begins, too, but I hadn't noticed the parallel before, two characters forced to share a bed, reluctantly Picture Quote #1

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 Picture Quote #1

A book has got smell. A new book smells great. An old book smells even better. An old book smells like ancient Egypt Picture Quote #1
