(Quote by - Jay Overton)
The true University of these days is a Collection of Books. (Quote by - Thomas Carlyle)

He it is Who shapes you in the wombs as He likes; there is no god but He, the Mighty, the Wise / He it is Who has revealed the Book to you; some of its verses are decisive, they are the basis of the Book, and others are allegorical; then as for those in whose hearts there is perversity they follow the part of it which is allegorical, seeking to mislead and seeking to give it (their own) interpretation. but none knows its interpretation except Allah, and those who are firmly rooted in knowledge say: We believe in it, it is all from our Lord; and none do mind except those having understanding.

The house is, in fact, something of a shrine to the passion that has consumed Corrigan's life, from her literature-saturated childhood in Sunnyside through her current career as a teacher and critic (in addition to her NPR gig, she pens a column on mysteries for The Washington Post and reviews for other publications, including Newsday). As she confesses in the just-published Leave Me Alone, I'm Reading: Finding and Losing Myself in Books .. When I'm in the company of others - even my nearest and dearest - there always comes a moment when I'd rather be reading a book. (Quote by - Random House)

Books are but waste paper unless we spend in action the wisdom we get from thought. (Quote by - Edward Bulwer-Lytton)
As good business people, we'd be silly not to tap into every fan of the book and hope they will become a fan of the movie. We don't believe we're making a Christian movie.

It is easier to buy books than to read them, and easier to read them than to absorb them. (Quote by - William Osler)
The reality is, just like with adult books, a big name makes for an easier booking. Any time you're booking an author for a four-and-a-half to five-minute segment, if you're dealing with someone who's done television or comes with a track record, they are a known quantity. They know they have to have a funny or a touching story. (Quote by - Kristin Matthews)
On the show that decided them getting signed by their first record company "Tre booked this show.. and he booked this show on a mountain top in Mendocino county. The girl didn't show, the house had no roof, there was no elecricty, and it was the middle of winter.. and this is our preformance for Look Out Records. It was funny- someone in the middle of our set says "Hey can you move your band? I need to get my car out of here.". (Quote by - Green Day)
There are books so alive that you're always afraid that while you weren't reading, the book has gone and changed, has shifted like a river; while you went on living, it went on living too, and like a river moved on and moved away. No one has stepped twice into the same river. But did anyone ever step twice into the same book?. (Quote by - Marina Tsvetaeva)
Books are good enough in their own way, but they are a poor substitute for life. (Quote by - Robert Louis Stevenson)
We do not belong to those who only get their thought from books, or at the prompting of books, -- it is our custom to think in the open air, walking, leaping, climbing, or dancing on lonesome mountains by preference, or close to the sea, where even the paths become thoughtful. (Quote by - Friedrich Nietzsche)
He who studies books alone will know how things ought to be, and he who studies men will know how they are. (Quote by - C. C. Colton)
While Ghost Rider .. Another 'Kev' series from Wildstorm, featuring Carlos Ezquerra's best art in years; a third Punisher special, 'The Tyger,' drawn by John Severin; 'Nick Fury in World War Two,' six issues by Darick Robertson; a four-issue 'JLA Classified' arc featuring Tommy Monaghan, effectively the lost Hitman story; a new book from Avatar called 'Wormwood,' starring the Antichrist (he gets a bad rap); 'Back to Brooklyn,' a crime book with Jimmy Palmiotti; a new creator-owned ongoing book with Darick Robertson, 'The Boys'; a western called 'Trail of Tears'-- a much darker, more brutal book than the one about to come out; and just started writing a new limited series for Axel [Alonso] at Marvel. Very pleased with it so far. Finally, of course, there's the regular 'Punisher' book, which is just about to start a new storyline, 'The Slavers.' Frank Castle, the character I was born to write. Who'da thunk it?. (Quote by - Garth Ennis)

Books, books, books! I had found the secret of a garret room Piled high with cases in my father's name; Piled high, packed large,--where, creeping in and out Among the giant fossils of my past, Like some small nimble mouse between the ribs Of a mastodon, I nibbled here and there At this or that box, pulling through the gap, In heats of terror, haste, victorious joy, The first book first. And how I felt it beat Under my pillow, in the morning's dark, An hour before the sun would let me read! My books! At last, because the time was ripe, I chanced upon the poets. (Quote by - Elizabeth Barrett Browning)
He buries his account of that fateful day some 250 pages into the book, choosing to explain how the quake occurred, why it happened and, most appropriately, warn people of its coming inevitability.

I'd be very happy. (Quote by - Simon Winchester)

Though he turned the pages with the sensuous joy of the book-lover, he did not know what he was reading, and one book after another dropped from his hand. Suddenly, among them, he lit on a small volume of verse which he had ordered because the name had attracted him: "The House of Life." He took it up, and found himself plunged in an atmosphere unlike any he had ever breathed in books; so warm, so rich, and yet so ineffebly tender, that it gave a new and haunting beauty to the most elementary of human passions. (Quote by - Edith Wharton)

We were just happy to get reviewed by the New York Times (on March 26). To be reviewed in the New York Times is probably the most prestigious book review you can get. Heavy book buyers read it. Now we learn that it will be an editor's choice in the New York Times. There are only about eight of those a week. Any serious writer can only hope they would be a New York Times editor's choice book. (Quote by - Dan Wetzel)

O followers of the Book! Why do you disbelieve in the communications of Allah while you witness (them)? / O followers of the Book! Why do you confound the truth with the falsehood and hide the truth while you know? / And a party of the followers of the Book say: Avow belief in that which has been revealed to those who believe, in the first part of the day, and disbelieve at the end of it, perhaps they go back on their religion.

On 'Recruit' it probably cost us $1 million to $1.5 million. (Quote by - Chuck Viane)
A big leather-bound volume makes an ideal razor strap. A thin book is useful to stick under a table with a broken caster to steady it.

(Quote by - Mark Twain)
Choose an author as you choose a friend. (Quote by - Sir Christopher Wren)
The Hilton Family of Hotels has made numerous enhancements to its websites that are better tailored to guests' specific needs, making it even more convenient for them to find the right hotel accommodations and services at the best value.

Much like he had an opportunity to work with Puzo and kind of evolve the book into a screenplay - which obviously required some modification to what Puzo had done - I just hope that he respects that we were targeting a different customer and we're trying to keep this fiction alive.

In regards to this great Book (the Bible), I have but to say it is the best gift God has given to man. All the good the Savior gave to the world was communicated through this Book. But for it we could not know right from wrong. All things most desirable for man's welfare, here and hereafter, are found portrayed in it. (Quote by - Bible)
I don't see how you can avoid the fact that the books are riddled with sadism, racism, sexism. In books, readers tend to skate over all these horrible ambiguities. The moment they're put on film, it's very difficult to duck them. (Quote by - Peter Hunt)
There are some books that refuse to be written. They stand their ground year after year and will not be persuaded.

And that's how the book grew. That is, I wrote that same story four times. None of them were right, but I had anguished so much that I could not throw any of it away and start over, so I printed it in the four sections.

That I was still trying to tell one story which moved me very much and each time I failed, but I had put so much anguish into it that I couldn't throw it away, like the mother that had four bad children, that she would have been better off if they all had been eliminated, But she couldn't relinquish any of them. And that's the reason I have the most tenderness for that book, because it failed four times. (Quote by - William Faulkner)

Let me say again that I have not read your book. And one of the reasons I didn't was because I wanted to do my own research.

(Quote by - Keith Beauchamp)
A library is thought in cold storage. (Quote by - Herbert Samuel)

I've tried to reduce profanity but I reduced so much profanity when writing the book that I'm afraid not much could come out. Perhaps we will have to consider it simply as a profane book and hope that the next book will be less profane or perhaps more sacred. (Quote by - Ernest Hemingway)
Now go, write it before them in a table, and note it in a book, that it may be for the time to come for ever and ever. (Quote by - Bible)

Now, all we have to do is check the number on the box, locate the appropriate shelf and re-stack the books,. (Quote by - Sharon Moore)
For books are more than books, they are the life, the very heart and core of ages past, the reason why men worked and died, the essence and quintessence of their lives. (Quote by - Amy Lowell)
Learning hath gained most by those books by which the printers have lost. (Quote by - Thomas Fuller)
If we finished our work, the teacher would say, 'Now don't read ahead.' But sometimes I hid the book I was reading behind my geography book and did read ahead. You can hide a lot behind a geography book. (Quote by - Beverly Cleary)
He himself has said you can follow the patterns and real events in his life by reading his books, which doesn't mean you can figure out his life by reading his books. Simply that the events in his life are the starting points for the books that he writes. But that's just the beginning. (Quote by - James Atlas)
The flood of print has turned reading into a process of gulping rather than savoring. (Quote by - Warren Chappell)
Until I feared I would lose it, I never loved to read. One does not love breathing. (Quote by - Harper Lee)

This book in particular helps them see that they can do anything. If you have a book you can do anything or go anywhere, including the moon. (Quote by - Mary Harvey)
Lists of books we reread and books we can't finish tell more about us than about the relative worth of the books themselves. (Quote by - Russell Banks)

One book at a time.. though I'm usually doing the research for others while I'm writing, but that sort of research is fairly desultory and I like to stick to the book being written - and writing a book concentrates the mind so the research is more productive. (Quote by - Bernard Cornwell)
Judge a book by its cover,If the cover is on fire the book is probably HOT. (Quote by - Rozzu Loz)

Books are not men and yet they stay alive. (Quote by - Stephen Vincent Benét)
You may have walked a million miles, made a million dollars and wrote a million books. Yet, those achievements are nothing compared to the greatest achievement of them all and that's producing and raising a family. (Quote by - Conroy Sewepagaham)
A small publishing house is sometimes the way to go. I wanted somebody who would publish my book and care about my book. I wanted somebody to know my book and always remember it, and I found one. They take an interest in what you do. If they are committed to accept your book, then they are committed to you. (Quote by - Regina Lewis)
The pleasure of reading is doubled when one lives with another who shares the same books. (Quote by - Katherine Mansfield)
At least two senators that I heard with my own ears cited this as a reason why they decided to vote to not allow a bipartisan majority to reauthorize the Patriot Act. Well, as it turns out the author of this article turned in a book three months ago and the paper, The New York Times, failed to reveal that the urgent story was tied to a book release and its sale by its author. (Quote by - John Cornyn)
The three practical rules, then, which I have to offer, are, --/ Never read a book that is not a year old./ Never read any but the famed books./ Never read any but what you like. (Quote by - Ralph Waldo Emerson)
During the course of that year, I'll probably have another book come out, .. I'll go on the road to promote it and do publicity. People think the life of a writer like me is easy. 'She writes those scandalous books and then she just lounges around.'. (Quote by - Jackie Collins)

Censorship ends in logical completeness when nobody is allowed to read any books except the books that nobody reads. (Quote by - George Bernard Shaw)
Outside of a dog, a man's best friend is a book. Inside of a dog, it's too dark to read. (Quote by - Groucho Marx)
Of all the ways of acquiring books, writing them oneself is regarded as the most praiseworthy method. Writers are really people who write books not because they are poor, but because they are dissatisfied with the books which they could buy but do not like. (Quote by - Walter Benjamin)
Books are the best of things if well used; if abused, among the worst. They are good for nothing but to inspire. I had better never see a book than be warped by its attraction clean out of my own orbit, and made a satellite instead of a system. (Quote by - Ralph Waldo Emerson)
I had been convinced that I should do the book because I was turning 40. Well, turning 40 doesn't mean that all of a sudden you know more than you did when you were 39 or 38, .. At the time, (canceling the book) was the hardest decision I had ever made. (Quote by - Oprah Winfrey)

Just the omission of Jane Austen's books alone would make a fairly good library out of a library that hadn't a book in it. (Quote by - Mark Twain)
The good of a book lies in its being read. A book is made up of signs that speak of other signs, which in their turn speak of things. Without an eye to read them, a book contains signs that produce no concepts; therefore it is dumb. (Quote by - Umberto Eco)

This is an important book on the shuttle. I hope that 20 or 30 years from now, people are still going to be referring to this book when they talk about the mission. (Quote by - Philip Chien)
In an atmosphere of liberty, one is as free to not open a book as to open it. Although simple in concept, that is not necessarily an easy condition to maintain. All of us can think of a book that we hope none of our children or any other children have taken off the shelf, .. But if I have the right to remove that book from the shelf -- that work I abhor -- then you also have exactly the same right and so does everyone else. And then we have no books left on the shelf for any of us. (Quote by - Katherine Paterson)
If I have not read a book before, it is, for all intents and purposes, new to me whether it was printed yesterday or three hundred years ago. (Quote by - William Hazlitt)
Like Dr. King I have a dream of my own, too, that the powerful message of this little book would be engraved on every human heart and will never be forgotten again. That you who read this book will feel as I do that these 120 pages .. should be required reading for all humanity. (Quote by - Oprah Winfrey)
I spent months digging through our archives looking for unique photos of Glacier National Park. With the help of former editor Brian Kennedy and Patsi Morton (Ruder's daughter) I was able to come up with a truly unique book. Some of these gems haven't seen print in 60 years. Some were never published at all. This book was a lot of fun to put together. About half of the photos in the book are from the Ruder era, which only makes sense, since Ruder, the founder of the Hungry Horse News owned the newspaper for more than half of its 60 years. (Quote by - Chris Peterson)
A great book-group book is more than just a great book. For (this list), we sought out 25 titles that encourage engagement, discussion and debate - though we certainly hope there's no significant bloodshed. (Quote by - Jerome Kramer)
The Bible remained for me a book of books, still divine - but divine in the sense that all great books are divine which teach men how to live righteously. (Quote by - Joseph Joubert)
Men do not understand books until they have a certain amount of life, or at any rate no man understands a deep book, until he has seen and lived at least part of its contents. (Quote by - Ezra Pound)
The sun will be in your book, if you ever think of sun. (Quote by - John Kiladius)
The Bible is a book that has been read more and examined less than any book that ever existed. (Quote by - Thomas Paine)
Old books that have ceased to be of service should no more be abandoned than should old friends who have ceased to give pleasure. (Quote by - Sir Peregrine Worsthorne)
When you buy a book, you have it forever. With these electronic books, you often are prevented from doing those things that you can do with regular books. What happens when my device breaks?.. Books aren't just words on a page. They are things you can trade, share and store for later. (Quote by - Gregory Newby)
That place that does contain My books, the best companions, is to me A glorious court, where hourly I converse With the old sages and philosophers; And sometimes, for variety, I confer With kings and emperors, and weigh their counsels; Calling their victories, if unjustly got, Unto a strict account, and, in my fancy, Deface their ill-placed statues. (Quote by - Francis Beaumont and John Fletcher)
Her book said that there's no reason why women are biologically disposed to be mothers all of their lives. Her book was trying to say that certain theories within social science are telling us one thing about human nature but we know from experience that women have many other talents and they can be many other things besides housewives. Her book was trying to defunct the experts of the time. (Quote by - Nancy Lutkehaus)
There are books on HTML, JavaScript, Java, ActiveX, and all sorts of other geeky subjects. But not only don't you need to understand these things in order to set up a Web site; you can read a dozen such books, and you still won't know everything you need to do. (Quote by - Peter Kent)
I was a great reader of fairy tales. I tried to read the entire fairy tale section of the library: Andrew Lang's Blue Fairy Book, Red Fairy Book, and so on, probably down to the Puce or Chartreuse fairy tales. (Quote by - Beverly Cleary)
I never wanted to do Harry Potter. I thought it should have stayed as a book. There are some books that should be made into movies and some that shouldn't. Harry Potter is 70% imagination. When the movie comes out, it's going to be such a stereotype for kids. When they think of Harry Potter, they're going to think of what is portrayed on screen. (Quote by - Haley Joel Osment)
You, O Books, are the golden vessels of the temple, the arms of the clerical militia with which the missiles of the most wicked are destroyed; fruitful olives, vines of Engaddi, fig-trees knowing no sterility; burning lamps to be ever held in the hand. (Quote by - Richard Aungervyle)
You want to get a heads up on maybe what some guy can do because you're going to be playing against him in a couple months. They don't necessarily have a book on us, but we certainly can have a book on them. (Quote by - Corey Chavous)
Don't ask me who's influenced me. A lion is made up of the lambs he's digested, and I've been reading all my life. (Quote by - Giorgos Seferis)
There are people already sharing eBooks out there, .. and they do it simply because they love books. You don't buy a second copy of a book, cut the spine off, lay each page on a scanner, run that .tif through an OCR (Optical Character Reader), hand edit the resulting output for errors and then post it online if you don't love the book. it can up to 80 hours to turn a printed novel into an eBook. I figure if someone out there is willing to put in 80 hours of work promoting my book, then I'd prefer they do it in a way that gives a better return to me. (Quote by - Cory Doctorow)
OLD, adj. In that stage of usefulness which is not inconsistent with general inefficiency, as an _old man_. Discredited by lapse of time and offensive to the popular taste, as an _old_ book. "Old books? The devil take them!" Goby said. "Fresh every day must be my books and bread." Nature herself approves the Goby rule And gives us every moment a fresh fool. (Quote by - Ambrose Bierce)
All books are divisible into two classes, the books of the hour, and the books of all time. (Quote by - John Ruskin)
Books in a large university library system: 2,000,000. Books in an average large city library: 10,000. Average number of books in a chain bookstore: 30,000. Books in an average neighborhood branch library: 20,000. (Quote by - Anthony Burgess)
The true reader is the one, who will carry the book nearly everywhere he goes, eager to finish it, but berieved when he does. (Quote by - raymond sant)
You'll be the same year after year except for the people you meet, the books you read, the films you watch, the places you travel, and the new things you do. (Quote by - Lorrin L. Lee)
Vanity would be the attempts at a higher tier. The simple steps of my soul will carry me in a heartbeat to a nicer residence than that of ministers, of presidents or kings and queens, by a simple test of imagination. I am thinking: should I go in..?! And if I get in, should I keep that object that speaks of the past?!.. A photo of the loved ones.. I was a child embracing the first page of the book of happiness – the warm hands of my parents. (Quote by - Mariana Fulger)
Books are the carriers of civilization. Without books, history is silent, literature dumb, science crippled, thought and speculation at a standstill. (Quote by - Barbara W. Tuchman)
The seller of the book keeps $2.26 to cover their costs to ship the book to the customer. If it costs them less than that -- and in a lot of cases it does -- then they keep what's left over. (Quote by - Drew Herdener)
Deep versed in books and shallow in himself. (Quote by - John Milton)
A 6-month-old is going to put a book in their mouth, which is fine ? this is why they make cardboard books!. (Quote by - Dr. Dahlia Hall)
I suppose every old scholar has had the experience of reading something in a book which was significant to him, but which he could never find again. Sure he is that he read it there, but no one else ever read it, nor can he find it again, though he buy the book and ransack every page. (Quote by - Ralph Waldo Emerson)
The aphorism in which I am the first master among Germans, are the forms of ''eternity''; my ambition is to say in ten sentences what everyone else says in a book -- what everyone else does not say in a book. (Quote by - Friedrich Nietzsche)
If a law were passed giving six months to every writer of a first book, only the good ones would do it. (Quote by - Bertrand Russell)

Laws die, Books never. (Quote by - Edward George Earle Lytton Bulwer)
The Brahmins say that in their books there are many predictions of times in which it will rain. But press those books as strongly as you can, you can not get out of them a drop of water. So you can not get out of all the books that contain the best precepts the smallest good deed. (Quote by - Henry David Thoreau)
Some of our students draw their own illustrations and others use photos or other pictures to illustrate their book. We have no guidelines that say a book has to be done a certain way. And no books are turned down; every book we received is published. (Quote by - Mark Martin)
Never lend books, for no one ever returns them; the only books I have in my library are books that other folks have lent to me. (Quote by - Anatole France)
If you're a freedom-to-read person, pulling a book like that one is not that different from any book that might have fake scholarship. No matter how wrong a book might be, people should have access to it. It's a slippery slope once you start removing books like that. (Quote by - Michael Gorman)
That is a good book which is opened with expectation, and closed with delight and profit. (Quote by - A. Bronson Alcott)
SCRAP-BOOK, n. A book that is commonly edited by a fool. Many persons of some small distinction compile scrap-books containing whatever they happen to read about themselves or employ others to collect. One of these egotists was addressed in the lines following, by Agamemnon Melancthon Peters: Dear Frank, that scrap-book where you boast You keep a record true Of every kind of peppered roast That's made of you; Wherein you paste the printed gibes That revel round your name, Thinking the laughter of the scribes Attests your fame; Where all the pictures you arrange That comic pencils trace -- Your funny figure and your strange Semitic face --Pray lend it me. Wit I have not, Nor art, but there I'll list The daily drubbings you'd have got Had God a fist. (Quote by - )
The books that the world calls immoral are books that show the world its own shame. (Quote by - Oscar Wilde)
This is the best book ever written by any man on the wrong side of a question of which he is profoundly ignorant. (Quote by - Thomas B. Macaulay)
Damn all expurgated books, the dirtiest book of all is the expurgated book. (Quote by - Walt Whitman)
I ask myself, is the book being digitized by someone else, or is there an earlier edition of the same book that's being digitized?. (Quote by - Elizabeth Black)
In 2002 we didn't have a new book, but our book sales still came in at $82 million, about 4 percent of our revenue on the back of the Harry Potter movies. With this new book, we expect a big jump in sales and revenue. (Quote by - Ray Manchuk)
We all love to read, and sometimes, everyone in the family reads the same book so we can talk about it. Stacy, Sarah and I all read the new Harry Potter book together the day it came out. We each had our own copy, and we all stayed up late to finish it. (Quote by - Doug King)
Michael and I, to this day, stumble into things, .. We wrote a book on Elvis Presley together in the 1980s that became New York Times and London Times best-sellers. It was released on the 10th anniversary of Elvis' death. Everyone said 'How savvy the Sterns are.' Do you think we knew the significance of the date of release for the book when we were writing it? Not even. (Quote by - Michael Stern)
And the Book shall be placed, then you will see the guilty fearing from what is in it, and they will say: Ah! woe to us! what a book is this! it does not omit a small one nor a great one, but numbers them (all); and what they had done they shall find present (there); and your Lord does not deal unjustly with anyone. (Quote by - quran)
I find your question bizarre, .. It would be along the line of saying that I shouldn't see a movie that involves an accident. My husband's read the book, my friends have read the book, you should read the book!. (Quote by - Jayson Williams)
I began thinking there should be an American phrase book, 'cause I've got an Italian phrase book, and an Arabic one.. now a British one. I think it'd be pretty good to have an American phrase book. (Quote by - Joe Strummer)
You have to write the book that wants to be written. And if the book will be too difficult for grown-ups, then you write it for children. (Quote by - Madeleine L'Engle)
What is reading, but silent conversation. (Quote by - Walter Savage Landor)
It seems if you write a book about something, there's going to be an investigation. It seems that has followed the publishing of the book. I don't think that's right. You didn't hear anything about this until the book was written. (Quote by - Steve Finley)
We get no good By being ungenerous, even to a book, And calculating profits--so much help By so much reading. It is rather when We gloriously forget ourselves, and plunge Soul-forward, headlong, into a book's profound, Impassioned for its beauty, and salt of truth-- 'Tis then we get the right good from a book. (Quote by - Elizabeth Barrett Browning)
When you have seasons like we're having, you have to win a couple of games like that. You don't win them all by the book, and this one wasn't certainly by the book that we would've liked. It certainly goes down in the record book as a win. That's the important thing. (Quote by - John Brady)
Has it been a success though, I ask. I don't know, .. I don't have another first novel that wasn't pushed electronically to compare it to. But the book itself is doing very well. Looking at other publishers, a good example is Baen Books , who do a lot of multi volume series of books. From experience, they know how much volume 13 should sell based on the sales of boook 12. So when volume 13 comes out, they bundled a CD-Rom with eBook versions of the first 12 books. They also hosted these eBooks online for free. When this happens, the sales of volume 13 were beyond expectation, and volumes 1 through 12 see a bump in sales as well. (Quote by - Cory Doctorow)
It fills a little niche; nobody's ever written about this before in this way because it's a book about a serious subject but told with such a respectful, light touch. It's one of those books you sit down and read start to finish because you can't put it down. And after you finish, you say 'My aunt would like this, and so would my great-grandmother and my sister.' And so people will buy one, and then come back and buy 10. (Quote by - Jane White)
Sir..You don't learn to drive from simply reading a book, so why do you persist in reading self-help books?. (Quote by - Rodney Lovell)
Any book that helps a child to form a habit of reading, to make reading one of his deep and continuing needs, is good for him. (Quote by - Richard McKenna)
A house is not a home unless it contains food and fire for the mind as well as the body. (Quote by - Margaret Fuller)
A room without books is like a body without a soul. (Quote by - Cicero)
The human mind is not capable of grasping the Universe. We are like a little child entering a huge library. The walls are covered to the ceilings with books in many different tongues. The child knows that someone must have written these books. It doe. (Quote by - Albert Einstein)
I think it's a great attempt to popularize the book business, and boy, do we need it. It's a good thing, as we try to expand our readers, to put the public into this. I think it's important to have the consumer not only buy the book, but confirm that this is the best book of the year. (Quote by - Jane Friedman)
They're very handsome books and teachers love using them. They have guides for anywhere from 5-7 lessons for the teacher to use in the class when she's teaching The Great Depression, or Reconstruction Era in the South, or Slavery in Pre-Civil War South, or World War II. For each of those 10 units we have a book, an accompanying edited videotape or DVD. In the book is a great deal of primary source material from the New York Historical Society's archives. (Quote by - Alan Levenstein)
I just put it on the site for anyone to enjoy. Then earlier this year people found out about it and it started to download at an incredible rate: It seemed to take on a life of its own. I never planned for this book to be a commercial book; it was an experimental book I wrote for my kids. I'm just thrilled people are enjoying it. If it means people get to know me as a writer, then that's great. (Quote by - Steve Bell)
This program will help users discover more books, publishers sell more books and authors to ultimately write more books. (Quote by - Adam Smith)
My mother used to take my brother and me to get any books we wanted, but they were second hand books published in the '30s and '40s. I liked scary books. (Quote by - Alejandro Amenabar)
In my twenties, it was so important for me to show people I had all these other books and these other sorts of writing in me, .. A lot of authors, if their first book is a success, they're terrified to write a second one. But in my case, since the first book wasn't considered a literary book, I was really determined to show people I could do other types of writing. (Quote by - Evelyn Lau)
I was a bad guy. If I was gonna write a book that was true, and I was gonna write a book that was honest, then I was gonna have to write about myself in very, very negative ways. (Quote by - James Frey)
It totally sounds like an advice book, .. but there's not a shred of advice in the entire book, which is good for any of your readers. It's a novel. It's a humor book. It's sort of a what-if scenario of what would happen if you took a B-movie actor, meaning me -- I take the lead role in the book -- and put him into a big Hollywood movie. The answer is that it's not good. It's a misadventure. I single-handedly take down a big Hollywood movie. (Quote by - Bruce Campbell)
The newest books are those that never grow old. (Quote by - Holbrook Jackson)
A book is the only immortality. (Quote by - Rufus Choate)
So, you see, it's a real chore for me to write a book review because it's like a contest. It's like I'm writing that book review for every bad book reviewer I've ever known and it's a way of saying [thrusts a middle finger into the air] this is how you ought to do it. I like to rub their noses in it. (Quote by - John Irving)
If I had my way books would not be written in English, but in an exceedingly difficult secret language that only skilled professional readers and story-tellers could interpret. Then people like you would have to go to public halls and pay good prices to hear the professionals decode and read the books aloud for you. This plan would have the advantage of scaring off all amateur authors, retired politicians, country doctors and I-Married-a-Midget writers who would not have the patience to learn the secret language. (Quote by - Robertson Davies)
The National Book Festival is a great way for families and friends to share the creative works of some of America's most-loved authors, .. Readers of all ages can listen to favorite writers speaking about their books, have books autographed, meet many storybook characters and enjoy a day on the National Mall. (Quote by - Laura Bush)
For I testify unto every man that heareth the words of the prophecy of this book, If any man shall add unto these things, God shall add unto him the plagues that are written in this book: / And if any man shall take away from the words of the book of this prophecy, God shall take away his part out of the book of life, and out of the holy city, and from the things which are written in this book. (Quote by - Bible)
Our goal is to collect as many donated books as possible for a designated delivery before Christmas. Our goal is 20,000 books, from picture books to adult relaxation. (Quote by - Greg Wright)
I don't judge these things by numbers. How many people read 'Paradise Lost' when it was published? Two hundred? Three? As long as there's one reader, the book is doing what a book does. Books are irreplaceable, because they're the only place in the universe where two strangers can meet on absolutely intimate terms. We need to tell stories as human beings. People are as hungry for that as they have ever been. (Quote by - Paul Auster)
The books that help you the most are those which make you think the most. (Quote by - Theodore Parker)
C-SPAN2 has a new Book TV show that features interviews with nonfiction authors, so it has turned a full-size bus into a fully contained television studio. They take it to big book events to let people know about their new show, and we're now one of the largest book sales in the Southeast, if not the nation. (Quote by - Cathy Clark)
As a librarian, I have seen a lot of books checked out of the library that I didn't think were very good, but people came back to return those same books and said that the book changed their lives. (Quote by - Courtney Lewis)
Fiction reveals truth that reality obscures. (Quote by - Jessamyn West)
Prior to the war, bookings for April travel were good. Since the war began, booking trends have been inconsistent, .. Uncertainties created by the war with Iraq render it impossible to predict future bookings and traffic. (Quote by - James Parker)
Books are the blessed chloroform of the mind. (Quote by - Robert Chambers)
Books had instant replay long before televised sports. (Quote by - Bert Williams)
It has become harder and harder to find books on a monthly basis that I feel absolutely compelled to share, .. I will continue featuring books on the 'Oprah Winfrey Show' when I feel they merit my heartfelt recommendation. (Quote by - Oprah Winfrey)
One of my rigid goals is to keep each book under 300 pages because I think so much nonfiction is literally weighty that people don't get through these books, .. If people don't finish your book, then they don't know what you're talking about. (Quote by - Thomas Cahill)
Books constitute capital. A library book lasts as long as a house, for hundreds of years. It is not, then, an article of mere consumption but fairly of capital, and often in the case of professional men, setting out in life, it is their only capital. (Quote by - Thomas Jefferson)
I usually order the books for our reading program at church, and I was intrigued when I saw the title of a book called Knitting into the Mystery . I ordered the book, and as soon as I read it I envisioned this new ministry. (Quote by - Shirley Letner)
Books give not wisdom where none was before. But where some is, there reading makes it more. (Quote by - John Harington)
It does not matter how many books you have, but how good the books are which you have. (Quote by - Seneca)
Books, books, books had found the secret of a garret-room piled high with cases in my father's name; Piled high, packed large, /where, creeping in and out among the giant fossils of my past, like some small nimble mouse between the ribs of a mastodon, I nibbled here and there at this or that box, pulling through the gap, in heats of terror, haste, victorious joy, the first book first. And how I felt it beat under my pillow, in the morning's dark. An hour before the sun would let me read! My books!. (Quote by - Elizabeth Barrett Browning)
And We have not made the wardens of the fire others than angels, and We have not made their number but as a trial for those who disbelieve, that those who have been given the book may be certain and those who believe may increase in faith, and those who have been given the book and the believers may not doubt, and that those in whose hearts is a disease and the unbelievers may say: What does Allah mean by this parable? Thus does Allah make err whom He pleases, and He guides whom He pleases, and none knows the hosts of your Lord but He Himself; and this is naught but a reminder to the mortals. (Quote by - quran)
The idea of One Book, One Community is to encourage participation by other organizations in the giving community. A mock trial seems like it would be a great tie-in to this book. (Quote by - Karen Sloan)
The printing press is either the greatest blessing or the greatest curse of modern times, sometimes one forgets which it is. (Quote by - Sir James M. Barrie)
If life is short, then how come most books reflect the opposite approach?. (Quote by - A.J. Chilson)
Although booking patterns remained strong through early August despite poor operating performance, booking levels have since fallen on the adverse publicity surrounding the cancellations that occurred in early August, .. While our operating performance has improved somewhat, the reduced booking levels continue, and as a result, revenues are not as strong as we had previously anticipated. (Quote by - Jim Goodwin)
Whenever you read a good book, it's like the author is right there, in the room talking to you, which is why I don't like to read good books. (Quote by - Jack Handy)
My education was the liberty I had to read indiscriminately and all the time, with my eyes hanging out. (Quote by - Dylan Thomas)
When you open a book you go places, where your mind runs wild and your dream can soar. (Quote by - Cory Matthew Falls)
The man who does not read good books has no advantage over the man who can't read them. (Quote by - Mark Twain)
Life is like a good book and the only people that know the ending aren't going to spoil it. (Quote by - Jeremy L. Hawkins)
Experience of life (not of books) is the only capital usable in such a book as you have attempted; one can make no judicious use of this capital while it is new. (Quote by - Mark Twain)
Writing books isn't a drastic departure from writing for the stage. I've always written in the long format, five, eight, 10-minute pieces rather than one-liners, so since writing books, the process hasn't changed much. A piece in my live routine can end up as part of one of my HBO specials, and it can also end up in one of the books. (Quote by - George Carlin)
The Compleat Angler is acknowledged to be one of the world's books. Only the trouble is that the world doesn't read its books, it borrows a detective story instead. (Quote by - Stephen Leacock)
It's really about readers getting in touch with books. Their interest may start with new technology, but we hope that, in the end, they go to a bookstore, buy a hardback or a paperback, and curl up with a book. (Quote by - Jeff Gomez)
I think the writing for this book is extraordinary. And that's why we call it 'Above and Beyond,' because it really is above and beyond what we expected. Writers like (Kurt) Vonnegut and Tim O'Brien waited years after their service to write their books. There's an immediacy and rawness to this book that makes it so compelling. (Quote by - Andrew Carroll)
I think I made a lot of mistakes in writing the book and promoting the book. (Quote by - James Frey)
Every man is a volume if you know how to read him. (Quote by - William Ellery Channing)
My philosophy in life grows everyday. Really a new day is a new page in my book of life, and well though days fly so quick, the pages in life stays forever and you can always turn back to the important elements of life and learn from your mistakes. (Quote by - Amir Riveroll)
My best friends are books, I can easily read them and take them wherever I go. (Quote by - Debra Roberts)
What guided Einstein was that, in his mid-twenties, he found the unknown intriguing. He felt compelled to comprehend what might have been intended for our universe by The Old One as he referred to his notion of God. We are in the position, .. of a little child entering a huge library, whose walls are covered to the ceiling with books in many different languages. The child knows that someone must have written those books. It does not know who or how. It does not understand the languages in which they are written. The child notes a definite plan in the arrangement of the books, a mysterious order, which it does not comprehend but only dimly suspects. (Quote by - Albert Einstein)
All books can be indecent books, though recent books are bolder. For filth, I'm glad to say, is in the mind of the beholder. When correctly viewed, everything is lewd. I could tell you things about Peter Pan, And the Wizard of OZ, there's a dirty old man!. (Quote by - )
Clearly, she's a very smart person. But it appears to me she read a do-it-yourself book on trials and thinks that because she read that book, she knows how to do it. It's like reading a do-it-yourself book on emergency surgery. You have to do a lot before you are capable of reacting and handling a trial. They're so chaotic, you never know what's going to happen. (Quote by - Steve Clark)
