Reader Quotes

The profit of books is according to the sensibility of the reader. The profoundest thought or passion sleeps as in a mine until an equal mind and heart finds and publishes it Picture Quote #1

Tis the good reader that makes the good book; a good head cannot read amiss: in every book he finds passages which seem confidences or asides hidden from all else and unmistakeably meant for his ear Picture Quote #1

While a book has got to be worthwhile from the point of view of the reader it's got to be worthwhile from the point of view of the writer as well Picture Quote #1

Good writing, and this is especially important in a subject such as economics, must also involve the reader in the matter at hand. It is not enough to explain. The images that are in the mind of the writer must be made to reappear in the mind of the reader, and it is the absence of this ability that causes much economic writing to be condemned, quite properly, as abstract Picture Quote #1

Are you a reader? If you aren't a reader, you might as well forget trying to be a writer Picture Quote #1

The catchword I use with my classes is: The authority of the writer always overcomes the skepticism of the reader Picture Quote #1

And if the reader has no taste for what he reads, all the time is wasted Picture Quote #1

Writing poetry makes you intensely conscious of how words sound, both aloud and inside the head of the reader. You learn the weight of words and how they sound to the ear Picture Quote #1

I surrendered to a world of my imagination, reenacting all those wonderful tales my father would read aloud to me. I became a very active reader, especially history and Shakespeare Picture Quote #1

Almost anything is too much. I am trying in my poems to have the reader be the experiencer. I do not want to be there. It is not even a walk we take together Picture Quote #1

The poem in which the reader does not feel himself or herself a participant is a lecture, listened to from an uncomfortable chair, in a stuffy room, inside a building Picture Quote #1

There was a time when the reader of an unexciting newspaper would remark, 'How dull is the world today!' Nowadays he says, 'What a dull newspaper!' Picture Quote #1

I'm very happy for whatever plaudits might come the way of my work, but I never ever sit down to write x with y in view - whether it's a reader, a prize or a sale Picture Quote #1

Books are something social - a writer speaking to a reader - so I think making the reading of a book the center of a social event, the meeting of a book club, is a brilliant idea Picture Quote #1

Green leaves on a dead tree is our epitaph - green leaves, dear reader, on a dead tree Picture Quote #1

The writer does the most good who gives his reader the most knowledge and takes from him the least time Picture Quote #1

As a reader I loathe introductions... Introductions inhibit pleasure, they kill the joy of anticipation, they frustrate curiosity Picture Quote #1

A reader is not supposed to be aware that someone’s written the story. He’s supposed to be completely immersed, submerged in the environment Picture Quote #1

I’m very aware how many distractions the reader has in life today, how many good reasons there are to put the book down Picture Quote #1

I do insist on making what I hope is sense so there’s always a coherent narrative or argument that the reader can follow Picture Quote #1

I’ve always been interested in gadgets and technology and I’ve always been a reader Picture Quote #1

The funny thing is, I’m not really a big reader, not a big fan of books in the first place Picture Quote #1

The relationship between reader and characters is very difficult. It is even more peculiar than the relationship between the writer and his characters Picture Quote #1
