Here's the thing: the act of reading changes your life, sometimes in large ways, sometimes in small ways, but every book you read asks you to move outside of yourself and your own experience to consider the lives of others. So I can't identify a particular book that altered my life, but I do know that the act of reading has pushed me to engage more deeply with the world (real and imagined), and I'm grateful for that. ~ Ethan Rutherford
Book Brahmin quotes by Ethan Rutherford
The United States can't keep a completely open system if the rest of the world is less open. The United States may have to take a leaf out of the book of Japan, China, and Germany, and have protectionism inside the system. ~ Robert Mundell
Book Brahmin quotes by Robert Mundell
We're at a point nowhere it has to change. We have characters that are not alive that are alive in the book. We have characters that never appeared in the book. We have a lot of events that didn't quite happen the same way in the book. But there's so much in the book, stuff we've passed in the timeline that I really thought was awesome, that I really wanted to get to. ~ Scott M. Gimple
Book Brahmin quotes by Scott M. Gimple
When you put a book together and arrange it, there's a lot of anxiety and turmoil about what order the poems should be in. ~ Billy Collins
Book Brahmin quotes by Billy Collins
Lissa and I had been friends ever since kindergarten, when our teacher had paired us up together for writing lessons. Forcing five-year-olds to spell Vasilisa Dragomir and Rosemarie Hathaway was beyond cruel, and we'd - or rather, I'd - responded appropriately. I'd chucked my book at out teacher and called her a fascist bastard. I hadn't known what those words meant, but I'd known how to hit a moving target.
Lissa and I had been inseparable ever since. ~ Richelle Mead
Book Brahmin quotes by Richelle Mead
Never force yourself to read a book that you do not enjoy. There are so many good books in the world that it is foolish to waste time on one that does not give you pleasure. ~ Atwood H. Townsend
Book Brahmin quotes by Atwood H. Townsend
Re-introducing Aquaman and getting him to a place like that and then ultimately having him headline a Justice League storyline that crosses over between his book and Justice League really is the culmination of where we've been going with the character since the beginning. His role in this will change the Justice League storyline, it will change him, and it will send them both in new directions. ~ Geoff Johns
Book Brahmin quotes by Geoff Johns
Darkness is a defining characteristic of Rotters. But it's worthy to remember that darkness is just that - it's dark - and what is being concealed in the dark is not just the horrible and fearsome, it's also the inspirational and moving. Horror means nothing without happiness; dark means nothing without light. Rotters may make you feel scared, but hopefully it will also make you simply feel. It's that kind of book, or at least I hope it is. ~ Daniel Kraus
Book Brahmin quotes by Daniel Kraus
I often find that a novel, even a well-written and compelling novel, can become a blur to me soon after I've finished reading it. I recollect perfectly the feeling of reading it, the mood I occupied, but I am less sure about the narrative details. It is almost as if the book were, as Wittgenstein said of his propositions, a ladder to be climbed and then discarded after it has served its purpose. ~ Sven Birkerts
Book Brahmin quotes by Sven Birkerts
Winterson has her own unmistakeable voice, tuned to express her obsessional preoccupation with sexual passion raised to the power of revealed religion. ( ... ) The whole book is a kind of chant. It is a playful addition to the Winterson oeuvre. Yet it is not a slight work so much as, homonymically, a work of sleight- - a word for which the Shorter OED gives six definitions, ranging from trickery to wisdom, all of which apply to The.PowerBook. ~ Victoria Glendinning
Book Brahmin quotes by Victoria Glendinning
I'm not entirely sure what a historical novel absolutely has to be, but you don't want a reader who loves a very traditional historical novel to go in with the expectation that this is going to deliver the same kind of reading experience. I think what's contemporary about my book has something to do with how condensed things are. ~ Danielle Dutton
Book Brahmin quotes by Danielle Dutton
There's a lot of loneliness in a book tour. A lot of grilled cheese sandwiches alone in your hotel at night. ~ Margaret Stohl
Book Brahmin quotes by Margaret Stohl
I propose to construct a new chart for navigating, on which I shall delineate all the sea and lands of the Ocean in their proper positions under their bearings; and further, I propose to prepare a book, and to put down all as it were in a picture, by latitude from the equator, and western longitude. ~ Christopher Columbus
Book Brahmin quotes by Christopher Columbus
Biggest lie ever: 'I'm only going to buy one book... ~ Anonymous
Book Brahmin quotes by Anonymous
But once a place had been discovered and cataloged and mapped, it was diminished, just another dusty fact in a book, sapped of mystery. ~ Ransom Riggs
Book Brahmin quotes by Ransom Riggs
To many book professionals, Amazon is a ruthless predator. The company claims to want a more literate world - and it came along when the book world was in distress, offering a vital new source of sales. ~ George Packer
Book Brahmin quotes by George Packer
Since each child reads only about six hundred books in the course of childhood, each book should nourish them in some way - with new ideas, insight, humor, or vocabulary. ~ Joan Aiken
Book Brahmin quotes by Joan Aiken
We slip into a dream, forgetting the room we're sitting in, forgetting it's lunchtime or time to go to work. We recreate, with minor and for the most part unimportant changes, the vivid and continuous dream the writer worked out in his mind (revising and revising until he got it right) and captured in language so that other human beings, whenever they feel like it, may open his book and dream that dream again. ~ John Gardner
Book Brahmin quotes by John Gardner
Oh, shame to men! devil with devil damn'd Firm concord holds, men only disagree Of creatures rational. ~ John Milton
Book Brahmin quotes by John Milton
I was inspired to write Countdown 'til Daddy Comes Home when I searched for books to help my 4 year daughter cope with her father deploying to Afghanistan and found nothing that quite fit our situation. My book is not only a great story for kids it has real suggestions for parents on how to keep you family connected during deployments or frequent business travel. ~ Kristin Ayyar
Book Brahmin quotes by Kristin Ayyar
I'm just surprised you can understand it. Is it the picture book edition? ~ Jus Accardo
Book Brahmin quotes by Jus Accardo
The first step in liquidating a people,' said Hubl, 'is to erase its memory. Destroy its books, its culture, its history. Then have somebody write new books, manufacture a new culture, invent a new history. Before long the nation will begin to forget what it is and what it was. The world around it will forget even faster. ~ Milan Kundera
Book Brahmin quotes by Milan Kundera
It's like, you write a book, you want it to be well received, you want it to be at the top of the bestsellers list, but you have limited control over what happens. You can hire a publicist, you can do every interview, you can be prepared, but you have very little control over the marketplace. So you put it out there without attachment, so it has its own life. Everything is like that. ~ Dan Harris
Book Brahmin quotes by Dan Harris
As the hours crept by, the afternoon sunlight bleached all the books on the shelves to pale, gilded versions of themselves and warmed the paper and ink inside the covers so that the smell of unread words hung in the air. ~ Maggie Stiefvater
Book Brahmin quotes by Maggie Stiefvater
When you start writing a picture book, you have to write a manuscript that has enough language to prompt the illustrator to get his or her gears running, but then you end up having to cut it out because you don't want any of the language to be redundant to the pictures that are being drawn. ~ Daniel Handler
Book Brahmin quotes by Daniel Handler
Because I'm such a creative person, and I've always got my nose in a book, I suppose it was only a matter of time before non-fiction turned into fiction again. But I never consciously set out to become a writer and I never thought I'd be doing the things I'm doing today. ~ Paul Kane
Book Brahmin quotes by Paul Kane
It's just...sometimes he says or does something so random it's like he's a life-form from another planet who's failing at blending into life on earth but trying like really hard, and you just have to share it with other people. ~ Emma Mills
Book Brahmin quotes by Emma   Mills
It is said that an eighteenth-century bishop who read Jonathan Swift's novel Gulliver's Travels threw the book into the fire, indignantly declaring that he didn't believe a word of it. He obviously thought that the story was meant to be true, but suspected that it was invented. Which, of course, is just what it is. The bishop was dismissing the fiction because he thought it was fiction. ~ Terry Eagleton
Book Brahmin quotes by Terry Eagleton
Christ is the norm, the criterion, the purpose, and the meaning of the book. The book points to Christ; Christ does not point to the book. We are not the People of the Book; we are the People with the Book. The Gospel of John does not say, "God so loved the world that he gave us" a book (3:16). The Revelation of John does not say that we are saved "by the ink of the Lamb" (12:11). For over a hundred years Christians have asked WWJD? (What Would Jesus Do?) and not WWBS? (What Would the Bible Say?). If Christ is the norm of the gospel, then he is also the norm of the New Testament, and of the entire Christian Bible. That, of course, is why we are called Christ-ians and not Bible-ians. ~ John Dominic Crossan
Book Brahmin quotes by John Dominic Crossan
What I've done for the last ten years is develop high profile entertainment properties for animation, so it's kind of funny to be able to create my own book to already know how I'd want to develop it for animation and live action. ~ Eric Wight
Book Brahmin quotes by Eric Wight
I had reason to be wary of Rowan Gresham.

Crazy doesn't always look crazy.

Sometimes it looks like the most handsome and refined gentleman ever encountered in one's short life. ~ Jen Crane
Book Brahmin quotes by Jen Crane
One of the things I love about writing is the way you can use what you know and what you've experienced, without actually writing about yourself. I've given many of my experiences and perceptions to many of the characters in the book, but none of them is me. ~ Kate Grenville
Book Brahmin quotes by Kate Grenville
My favorite sports novel is End Zone by Delillo. It's such a great looking book too, the black cover with the football player on it. It's just a fantastic little book. ~ Chad Harbach
