Reading Quotes

I'm concentrating on staying healthy, having peace, being happy, remembering what is important, taking in nature and animals, spending time reading, trying to understand the universe, where science and the spiritual meet Picture Quote #1

As the true object of education is not to render the pupil the mere copy of his preceptor, it is rather to be rejoiced in, than lamented, that various reading should lead him into new trains of thinking Picture Quote #1

I don't particularly dislike any kind of person that might be reading my stuff. They like it and that's cool, but I don't do the work for any kind of group in particular, except for hobos, who just plain kick ass and light up my life Picture Quote #1

I really think that reading is just as important as writing when you're trying to be a writer. Because it's the only apprenticeship we have. It's the only way of learning how to write a story Picture Quote #1

If one cannot enjoy reading a book over and over again, there is no use in reading it at all Picture Quote #1

If you want to fight the evil you see in finance and industry, get to work reading the corporate filings, see if there has been fraud, and where you find it, report it to the SEC or write about it or blog about it Picture Quote #1

My greatest strength as a child, I realize now, was my imagination. While every other kid was reading and writing, I had seven whole hours a day to practice my imagination. When do you get that space in your life, ever? Picture Quote #1

If anything, we older people yearn for a peaceful world even more than young people do. We are the ones who lost friends or relatives in some war. We are the ones who have lived a lifetime of seeing and reading about human suffering Picture Quote #1

My alma mater was books, a good library. I could spend the rest of my life reading, just satisfying my curiosity Picture Quote #1

Properly, we should read for power. Man reading should be man intensely alive. The book should be a ball of light in one's hand Picture Quote #1

My horizon on humanity is enlarged by reading the writers of poems, seeing a painting, listening to some music, some opera, which has nothing at all to do with a volatile human condition or struggle or whatever. It enriches me as a human being Picture Quote #1

When I start to write, words have become physical presence. It was to see if I could bring that private world to life that found it's first expression through reading. I really dislike the romantic notion of the artist Picture Quote #1

Every time there's a revolution, it comes from somebody reading a book about revolution. David Walker wrote a book and Nat Turner did his thing Picture Quote #1

One must be rich in thought and character to owe nothing to books, though preparation is necessary to profitable reading; and the less reading is better than more; book struck men are of all readers least wise, however knowing or learned Picture Quote #1

A capacity, and taste, for reading, gives access to whatever has already been discovered by others. It is the key, or one of the keys, to the already solved problems. And not only so. It gives a relish, and facility, for successfully pursuing the unsolved ones Picture Quote #1

Besides the actual reading in class of many poems, I would suggest you do two things: first, while teaching everything you can and keeping free of it, teach that poetry is a mode of discourse that differs from logical exposition Picture Quote #1

People cannot stand the saddest truth I know about the very nature of reading and writing imaginative literature, which is that poetry does not teach us how to talk to other people: it teaches us how to talk to ourselves. What I'm desperately trying to do is to get students to talk to themselves, and not someone else Picture Quote #1

I sent the World Well Lost to one editor who rejected it on sight, and then wrote a letter to every other editor in the field warning them against the story, and urging them to reject it on sight without reading it Picture Quote #1

I sort of try to read the books when they come out impartially and not make up my mind, but the fact is when I was reading the sixth, 'Harry Potter and the Half - Blood Prince', there were bits in there where I was going, 'God, I would love to do that because it's so good' Picture Quote #1

All I know for certain is that reading is of the most intense importance to me; if I were not able to read, to revisit old favorites and experiment with names new to me, I would be starved - probably too starved to go on writing myself Picture Quote #1

There is a note in the front of the volume saying that no public reading may be given without first getting the author's permission. It ought to be made much more difficult to do than that Picture Quote #1

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

The reading of all good books is like a conversation with the finest minds of past centuries Picture Quote #1

There is nothing more distressing or tiresome than a writer standing in front of an audience and reading his work Picture Quote #1

I should as soon think of swimming across Charles River, when I wish to go to Boston, as of reading all my books in originals, when I have them rendered for me in my mother tongue Picture Quote #1

The library was open for one hour after school let out. I hid there, looking at art books and reading poetry Picture Quote #1

I used to live a very social life and never spend much solitary time looking at birds or reading Picture Quote #1

I should as soon think of swimming across the Charles River when I wish to go to Boston, as of reading all my books in originals, when I have them rendered for me in my mother tongue Picture Quote #1

I, too, dislike it: There are things that are important beyond all this fiddle. Reading it, however, with a perfect contempt for it, one discovers in it after all, a place for the genuine Picture Quote #1

I'm not altogether certain that a fundamentalism of necessity has to argue that it is the only reading of the human experience in order to stay alive Picture Quote #1
