Book Quotes

What a pity when editors review a woman’s book, that they so often fall into the error of reviewing the woman instead Picture Quote #1

My thought is, if you’re a book lover, you’re going to enjoy winning a book even if it’s not something you’d ordinarily pick up on your own. It’s a chance to expand your horizons a little Picture Quote #1

I’ve never been one of those people, who subscribe to this notion that the book is dead Picture Quote #1

There are some books in which every poem is a facet of the same thing. So the book is like a piece of music. And there are books of poems that I love so much that I carry them around with me Picture Quote #1

I feel very discouraged with the state of gay and lesbian publishing because I don’t feel like we’re really welcome in the mainstream and then you get ghettoized and put on some lesbian book club reading list where you don’t want to be either Picture Quote #1

I never think about a movie when I’m writing a book, because I think only two things could happen and both of them are bad. You write a lousy novel and a lousy film Picture Quote #1

Usually for me, the melodic structures come out in the water and the lyrical ideas could come from a book I’m reading Picture Quote #1

A lot of the ways that I like to approach comic books, or anything like that, is not just the book itself, but the fans of it, the readers, the world that exists around it as a cultural object Picture Quote #1

I think parents should know what their children are reading, and if they truly object, they should tell their kids why, rather than summarily removing a book from their possession Picture Quote #1

I think people direct good films when they feel personal to them, not because it’s a famous book or something. It has to something move over that and somehow become personal to the director Picture Quote #1

My reading practice is one reason I mostly don’t read electronically. Different books are in different rooms of my house, and one is in my backpack. Physical location tells me what book to read Picture Quote #1

When you write a book, you want to have fidelity to the character. Characters and their emotions guide the structure of the novel Picture Quote #1

I think every book is a reaction to everything you’re written before, and most immediately to the book you wrote just before Picture Quote #1

Whenever I set out in a new direction, whether it’s with a new band or being a frontman or writing a comic book or entering into movie scoring or anything like that, I wouldn’t say that I do it fearlessly Picture Quote #1

You write a book and it’s like putting a message in a bottle and throwing it in the ocean. You don’t know if it will ever reach any shores. And there, you see, sometimes it falls in the hands of the right person Picture Quote #1

I’m never ashamed to read a book twice or as many times as I want. We never expect to drink a glass of water just once in our lives. A book can be that essential, too Picture Quote #1

Some day some one will write a book about that frantic search of the creative worker for silence and freedom, not only from interruption but from the fear of interruption Picture Quote #1

Writing every book is like a purge; at the end of it one is empty... like a dry shell on the beach, waiting for the tide to come in again Picture Quote #1

Early publication can be a dubious blessing: we all know writers who would give anything not to have published their first book, and go about trying to buy up all existing copies Picture Quote #1

I suppose anyone who has ever written a travel book has had the experience of being accosted by a reader with blood in his eye and a lawsuit in his voice Picture Quote #1

And no book, and possibly no painting, when it is finished, is ever exactly like the first dream of it Picture Quote #1

The first person you should think of pleasing, in writing a book, is yourself. If you can amuse yourself for the length of time it takes to write a book, the publisher and the readers can and will come later Picture Quote #1

Each book is, in a sense, an argument with myself, and I would write it, whether it is ever published or not Picture Quote #1

If people don’t read, that’s their choice; a lifelong book habit may itself be some sort of affliction Picture Quote #1

There are many pages in the book, many kinds of lives we each can live, many ways to be rich, and even more to be poor Picture Quote #1

What with the reviews of critics, the sarcasms of one’s friends, the reproaches of one’s own taste, there’s precious little peace after publishing a book Picture Quote #1

My life has been saved over and over again by picking up a book in which someone captured the whole experience of being despised and not dying Picture Quote #1

My characters live inside my head for a long time before I actually start a book. They become so real to me, I talk about them at the dinner table as if they are real. Some people consider this weird. But my family understands Picture Quote #1

Could anyone fail to be depressed by a book he or she has published? Don’t we always outgrow them the moment the last page has been written? Picture Quote #1

It has no meaning, what do you use to write, the only thing that is important is: what do you write. A machine to write a book instead of a writer is not invented yet, and probably will never be Picture Quote #1
