Reread Quotes

When you reread a classic you do not see more in the book than you did before; you see more in you than was there before Picture Quote #1

Lists of books we reread and books we can’t finish tell more about us than about the relative worth of the books themselves Picture Quote #1

When you reread a classic, you do not see more in the book than you did before; you see more in you than there was before Picture Quote #1

I recently reread an article of mine written in 1964, and I think it is still valid. There is not much difference. Many of the items on the agenda 37 years ago are still there Picture Quote #1

What a lot we lost when we stopped writing letters. You can’t reread a phone call Picture Quote #1

That I am your heart’s secret fills me with song. I wish I could sing of you here in my cage. You are my heart’s hidden poem. I reread you, memorize you every moment we’re apart Picture Quote #1

Reread, rewrite, reread, rewrite. If it still doesn’t work, throw it away. It’s a nice feeling, and you don’t want to be cluttered with the corpses of poems and stories which have everything in them except the life they need Picture Quote #1

I’m no prophet, but I’m guessing that comic books will always be strong. I don’t think anything can really beat the pure fun and pleasure of holding a magazine in your hand, reading the story on paper, being able to roll it up and put it in your pocket, reread again later, show it to a friend, carry it with you, toss it on a shelf, collect them, have a lot of magazines lined up and read them again as a series. I think young people have always loved that. I think they always will Picture Quote #1

I’ve had many more thousands of books in my possession than my shelves at home would indicate. At one time, I tried to keep them all, but that quest soon became impossible; I now only keep the ones I’m sure I’m going to reread, the ones I’m definitely going to read before I die, and the ones I can’t bear to part with because of an aesthetic or emotional attachment Picture Quote #1

A good book... leaves you wanting to reread the book. A great book compels you to reread your own soul Picture Quote #1

Every writer I admire is my teacher. If you look at it, and if you care to read carefully enough and to read and reread a text, you teach yourself something about craft Picture Quote #1

She doesn’t know I cry for the changing times. That just as I reread favourite books, some small part of me hoping for a different ending, I find myself hoping against hope that the war will never come. That this time, somehow, it will leave us be Picture Quote #1

I rarely feel the desire to reread a scene the day before the shooting. Sometimes I arrive at the place where the work is to be done and I do not even know what I am going to shoot. This is the system I prefer: to arrive at the moment when shooting is about to begin, absolutely unprepared, virgin. I often ask to be left alone on the spot for fifteen minutes or half an hour and I let my thoughts wander freely Picture Quote #1

You’ll never regret writing any letter out of love. However, it’s a good idea to reread anything you’ve written in anger Picture Quote #1

Usually when I read something, first of all I’m looking for the story and then when I reread it, I’m sort of checking every part of it to see if every scene is necessary Picture Quote #1

Write a list of ways that you have benefited from being married to your spouse. Then write a list of your spouse’s positive patterns and qualities. Keep adding to the lists and reread them frequently Picture Quote #1

After you have written a thing and you reread it, there is always the temptation to fix it up, to improve it, to remove its poison, blunt its sting Picture Quote #1

I never reread a text until I have finished the first draft. Otherwise it’s too discouraging Picture Quote #1

I can no more reread my own books than I can watch old home movies or look at snapshots of myself as a child. I wind up sitting on the floor, paralyzed by grief and nostalgia Picture Quote #1

When I go back and reread the stuff, I’m always floored by how deeply personal and revealing it actually is Picture Quote #1

When you reread your journal you find out that your newest discovery is something you already found out five years ago Picture Quote #1

There’s a paradox in rereading. You read the first time for rediscovery: an encounter with the confirming emotions. But you reread for discovery: you go to the known to figure out the workings of the unknown, the why of the familiar how Picture Quote #1

Curiously enough, one cannot read a book; one can only reread it. A good reader, a major reader, and active and creative reader is a rereader Picture Quote #1
