I like best to have one book in my hand, and a stack of others on the floor beside me, so as to know the supply of poppy and mandragora will not run out before the small hours.

Dorothy Parker

A book lying idle on a shelf is wasted ammunition. Like money, books must be kept in constant circulation... A book is not only a friend, it makes friends for you. When you have possessed a book with mind and spirit, you are enriched. But when you pass it on you are enriched threefold.

Henry Miller

Life is too short to read books that I'm not enjoying.

Melissa Marr

[I] read books because I love them, not because I think I should read them.

Simon Van Booy

You know that feeling,” she said, “when you are reading a book, and you know that it is going to be a tragedy; you can feel the cold and darkness coming, see the net drawing tight around the characters who live and breathe on the pages. But you are tied to the story as if being dragged behind a carriage and you cannot let go or turn the course aside.

Cassandra Clare

You're never alone when you're reading a book.

Susan Wiggs

You can’t enjoy art or books in a hurry.

E.A. Bucchianeri

You can’t enjoy art or books in a hurry.

E.A. Bucchianeri

Maybe reading was just a way to make her feel less alone, to keep her company. When you read something you are stopped, the moment is stayed, you can sometimes be there more fully than you can in your real life.

Helen Humphreys

If difficult times teach us the most important lessons, we should then learn to read difficult books.

Joyce Rachelle

If this were a novel, I'd stop reading right now. I'd throw it across the room.

Gabrielle Zevin

Small Actions Often Lead To Big Results

Rosette Mugidde Wamambe

Read a good book every day. Books help to educate the soul. The mere joy of learning something new will instill the will to live in you.

Sanchita Pandey

I read. The more you read, the more the world opens up to you... and the happier you are and more comforted you feel. It's up to you. No you is educated who cannot educate himself.

Mark Helprin

If a nation reads what is good with a good understanding, it gets a good understanding for a good nation building!

Ernest Agyemang Yeboah

It is equally important to learn from experience and from books.

Eraldo Banovac

He who doesn't see the essence of books shall surely be ruled by those who find and value the real essence of books.

Ernest Agyemang Yeboah

Real mystery - the very reason to read (and certainly write) any book - was to them a thing to dismantle, distill and mine out into rubble they could tyrannize into sorry but more permanent explanations; monuments to themselves, in other words. In my view all teachers should be required to stop teaching at age thirty-two and not allowed to resume until they're sixty-five, so that they can live their lives, not teach them away - live lives full of ambiguity and transience and regret and wonder, be asked to explain nothing in public until very near the end when they can't do anything else. Explaining is where we all get into trouble.

Richard Ford

Books whose topics I thoroughy depsise are accapteble because they often force the reader to think and to examine his own beliefs. In an age where most people are either blindly obedient or radical, exposing oneself to the ideas contained in even the most controversial of books is a good thing.

Tiffini Johnson

Editors can be stupid at times. They just ignore that author’s intention. I always try to read unabridged editions, so much is lost with cut versions of classic literature, even movies don’t make sense when they are edited too much. I love the longueurs of a book even if they seem pointless because you can get a peek into the author’s mind, a glimpse of their creative soul. I mean, how would people like it if editors came along and said to an artist, ‘Whoops, you left just a tad too much space around that lily pad there, lets crop that a bit, shall we?’. Monet would be ripping his hair out.

E.A. Bucchianeri

If the novel is dead, I'm a necrophiliac.

Tiffany Madison

Description is what makes the reader a sensory participant in the story. Good description is a learned skill,one of the prime reasons you cannot succeed unless you read a lot and write a lot. It's not just a question of how-to, you see; it's a question of how much to. Reading will help you answer how much, and only reams of writing will help you with the how. You can learn only by doing.

Stephen King

I love words. I crave descriptions that overwhelm my imagination with vivid detail. I dwell on phrases that make my heart thrum. I cherish expressions that pierce my emotions and force the tears to spill over. In essence, I long for a writer's soul sealed in ink on the page.

Richelle E. Goodrich

Keep reading! Keep travelling! Keep thinking! And finally you will be there, in the Land of Wisdom where the mind has the power of an eagle’s eye!

Mehmet Murat ildan

Before this generation lose the wisdom, one advice - read books.

Amit Kalantri

Deep layers of context are missed when cursorily reading for quantity at the expense of comprehension - only the vapid are impressed by those who try to squeeze as many books as possible into each passing month as if shoving one more oiled hot dog down the gullet in a food eating contest to prove accumulation superiority.

Wil Zeus

Ability, experience and books have solution for all the problems.

Amit Kalantri

Maybe this is why we read, and why in moments of darkness we return to books: to find words for what we already know.

Alberto Manguel

An entire life spent reading would have fulfilled my every desire; I already knew that at the age of seven. The texture of the world is painful, inadequate; unalterable, or so it seems to me. Really, I believe that an entire life spent reading would have suited me best. Such a life has not been granted me...

Michel Houellebecq
