Text Quotes
I do not hesitate to read... All good books in translations. What is really best in any book is translatable - any real insight or broad human sentiment (Good Book Quotes)
I'm a pretty decent writer. It comes easy to me. I don't agonize over sentences. I write like I talk. I try to make them good books (Good Book Quotes)
A person who publishes a book willfully appears before the populace with his pants down. If it is a good book nothing can hurt him. If it is a bad book nothing can help him (Good Book Quotes)
A good book deserves an active reading. The activity of reading does not stop with the work of understanding what a book says. It must be completed by the work of criticism, the work of judging. The undemanding reader fails to satisfy this requirement, probably even more than he fails to analyze and interpret. He not only makes no effort to understand; he also dismisses a book simply by putting it aside and forgetting it. Worse than faintly praising it, he damns it by giving it no critical consideration whatever (Good Book Quotes)
The reading of all good books is indeed like a conversation with the noblest men of past centuries who were the authors of them, nay a carefully studied conversation, in which they reveal to us none but the best of their thoughts (Good Book Quotes)
No good book or good thing of any kind shows it best face at first. No the most common quality of in a true work of art that has excellence and depth, is that at first sight it produces a certain disappointment (Good Book Quotes)
In a good bookroom you feel in some mysterious way that you are absorbing the wisdom contained in all the books through your skin, without even opening them (Good Book Quotes)
Reading is the royal road to intellectual eminence... Truly good books are more than mines to those who can understand them. They are the breathings of the great souls of past times. Genius is not embalmed in them, but lives in them perpetually (Good Book Quotes)
All good books are alike in that they are truer than if they had really happened and after you are finished reading one you will feel that all that happened to you and afterwards it all belongs to you: the good and the bad, the ecstasy, the remorse and sorrow, the people and the places and how the weather was. If you can get so that you can give that to people, then you are a writer (Good Book Quotes)
Some things don’t last forever, but some things do. Like a good song, or a good book, or a good memory you can take out and unfold in your darkest times, pressing down on the corners and peering in close, hoping you still recognize the person you see there (Good Book Quotes)
The man who doesn’t read good books has no advantage over the man who can’t read them. It is said that leaders are readers. However if they read trashy magazines for the majority of their time and they never run with the information that they glean from resourceful books, then they may as well have not taken any time to read at all. It is easier to stay out than get out (Good Book Quotes)
If you want to write something completely unique, you will probably fail or at best write something without redeeming value. The mind works in certain patterns: the mind organizes facts in story form; it is your commonality with that body of human thought that makes a good book, not its estrangement from the common values that humans share (Good Book Quotes)
The art of not reading is a very important one. It consists in not taking an interest in whatever may be engaging the attention of the general public at any particular time. When some political or ecclesiastical pamphlet, or novel, or poem is making a great commotion, you should remember that he who writes for fools always finds a large public. A precondition for reading good books is not reading bad ones: for life is short (Good Book Quotes)
Turn off your radio. Put away your daily paper. Read one review of events a week and spend some time reading good books. They tell too of days of striving and of strife. They are of other centuries and also of our own. They make us realize that all times are perilous, that men live in a dangerous world, in peril constantly of losing or maiming soul and body. We get some sense of perspective reading such books. Renewed courage and faith and even joy to live (Good Book Quotes)
A good book is the precious lifeblood of a master spirit, embalmed and treasured up on purpose to a life beyond life (Good Book Quotes)
In the case of good books, the point is not to see how many of them you can get through, but how many can get through to you (Good Book Quotes)
No one ever committed suicide while reading a good book, but many have tried while trying to write one (Good Book Quotes)
The road to ignorance is paved with good editions. Only the illiterate can afford to buy good books now (Good Book Quotes)
He who kills a man kills a reasonable creature, but he who destroys a good book kills reason itself (Good Book Quotes)
Just the knowledge that a good book is awaiting one at the end of a long day makes that day happier (Good Book Quotes)
There’s nothing to match curling up with a good book when there’s a repair job to be done around the house (Good Book Quotes)
Learn to love good books. There are treasures in books that all the money in the world cannot buy, but the poorest laborer can have for nothing (Good Book Quotes)
A good writer is not necessarily a good book critic. No more so than a good drunk is automatically a good bartender (Good Book Quotes)
If a book really wants the patronage of a great name, it is a bad book; and if it be a good book, it wants it not (Good Book Quotes)
There are people who say they want to write novels. They think, ‘I’ll learn my craft on the romance novel.’ If you don’t love the genre, it’s going to show, and it’s not going to be a good book (Good Book Quotes)
There are writers who say they have no social responsibility except to write a good book, but that doesn’t satisfy me (Good Book Quotes)
I don’t believe in the kind of magic in my books. But I do believe something very magical can happen when you read a good book (Good Book Quotes)
Children know perfectly well that unicorns aren’t real, but they also know that books about unicorns, if they are good books, are true books (Good Book Quotes)
There are good books which are only for adults. There are no good books which are only for children (Good Book Quotes)
If it’s a good book, anyone will read it. I’m totally unashamed about still reading things I loved in my childhood (Good Book Quotes)
