I've never been a collector - just a consumer - and these days unless a book is signed to me by another author, I don't normally have any qualms about passing it to a friend or donating it to the library. ~ Rick Riordan
Book Collectors quotes by Rick Riordan
I am obsessed with books.
I am a book collector. ~ Lailah Gifty Akita
Book Collectors quotes by Lailah Gifty Akita
A book collector is mad enough to begin with, Watson; but tempt him with some such bait as this Shakespeare quarto and he is bereft of all sanity. ~ Vincent Starrett
Book Collectors quotes by Vincent Starrett
Man wants what he cannot have, or what is difficult to procure, or what he must wade through the blood of other men to get. So with collectors. ~ Vincent Starrett
Book Collectors quotes by Vincent Starrett
Book-hunters are the most determined and interesting collectors in the world. I know of no passion to equal it. ~ Gelett Burgess
Book Collectors quotes by Gelett Burgess
It is possible that the most misunderstood man upon earth is the collector of books ... ~ Vincent Starrett
Book Collectors quotes by Vincent Starrett
Like all collectors, I exist in a perpetual state of want that bears no reasonable relationship to the quantity of unread books mounting up on my shelves. ~ Pamela Paul
Book Collectors quotes by Pamela Paul
So while I dedicated this book to myself, it's also dedicated to you. Male or female, young or old, if you're reading this book, then you're also that child reading by flashlight and dreaming of other worlds. Don't be scared of her, that inner Beauty, or her dreams. Let her out. She's you, and she's me, and she's magic.
There's no such thing as living happily ever after - there's only living. We make the choice to do it happily.
You are the Firebird. And above everything else, I'm most grateful for you. ~ Meagan Spooner
Book Collectors quotes by Meagan Spooner
When I receive a new novel from a hopeful publisher - "hoping that I like the book as much as he does" - I check first of all how much dialog there is, and if it looks too abundant or too sustained, I shut the book with a bang. ~ Vladimir Nabokov
Book Collectors quotes by Vladimir Nabokov
Many references have been made in this book to 'the reader,' who has been much in the news. It is now necessary to warn you that your concern for the reader must be pure: you must sympathize with the reader's plight (most readers are in trouble about half the time) but never seek to know the reader's wants. Your whole duty as a writer is to please and satisfy yourself, and the true writer always plays to an audience of one. Start sniffing the air, or glancing at the Trend Machine, and you are as good as dead, although you may make a nice living. ~ E.B. White
Book Collectors quotes by E.B. White
A young lady went into a bookstore and asked the clerk for Irving Stone's book, "Immoral Wife." The title is "Immortal Wife," the clerk replied. "I'll get it for you." Oh, please don't bother, If that's the correct name of the book, I don't think I'd care for it. I had something else in mind. ~ James Keller
Book Collectors quotes by James Keller
In order to pronounce a book bad it is not enough to discover that it elicits no good response from ourselves, for that might be our fault. ~ C.S. Lewis
Book Collectors quotes by C.S. Lewis
I have earned wages as a waitress, a nanny, a librarian, a personnel officer, an agricultural laborer, an advertising secretary, a typesetter, a proofreader, a mental-health-care provider, a substitute teacher, and a book reviewer. In and around the edges of all those jobs I have written poems, stories, and books, books, books. ~ Karen Hesse
Book Collectors quotes by Karen Hesse
This is a much more fitting interpretation of the book than its modern interpretation. ~ Robert Vaughan
Book Collectors quotes by Robert Vaughan
A book tour is not a good opportunity to let your mind wander. You have to pay attention, remember salespeople's and interviewers' names, succinctly summarize your book in a 'selling' way, and so on. ~ Ian Frazier
Book Collectors quotes by Ian Frazier
The thing about rigging is, you can learn it if you become a master rigger but there's no book on rigging. ~ Richard Serra
Book Collectors quotes by Richard Serra
There were books everywhere in my house. Books were very present. I just loved books. I never understood reading as anything but a pleasurable activity from a very young age. ~ Lisa Lucas
Book Collectors quotes by Lisa Lucas
I think there's a possibility that comic book movies are getting a tiny bit better on the one hand because they're no longer made by executives, who are, you know, ninety-year-old bald tailors with cigars, going, 'The kids love this!' ~ Joss Whedon
Book Collectors quotes by Joss Whedon
A war of ideas can no more be won without books than a naval war can be won without ships. Books, like ships, have the toughest armor, the longest cruising range, and mount the most powerful guns. ~ Franklin D. Roosevelt
Book Collectors quotes by Franklin D. Roosevelt
Close all the books
Open the Heart's book
Read out loud and clear
And then you shall BE the TRUTH
And you shall be a mighty kindness. ~ Gabriel Iqbal
Book Collectors quotes by Gabriel Iqbal
Her sister Lea had an ancient book of myths and legends, and there was all kinds of info in there - of course Lea had written that book herself, so how much could it be counted on for accuracy? For instance, under the heading of "Gods and Demigods," you could find entries for The Beatles, Pink Floyd, and Led Zeppelin. She'd also added a new "tribe" consisting of her favorite cartoon characters, naming them The Animatus. ~ Bethany K. Lovell
Book Collectors quotes by Bethany K. Lovell
My advice for aspiring writers is go to New York. And if you can't go to New York, go to the place that represents New York to you, where the standards for writing are high, there are other people who share your dreams, and where you can talk, talk, talk about your interests. Writing books begins in talking about it, like most human projects, and in being close to those who have already done what you propose to do. ~ Walter Kirn
Book Collectors quotes by Walter Kirn
We're living in a homogenized culture where everything is the same, and books are not a homogenized culture. They are extremely varied, and they're eccentric because they are the product of an individual mind. They are not, in any way, mediated. ~ Jeanette Winterson
Book Collectors quotes by Jeanette Winterson
There is no better teacher than history in determining the future... There are answers worth billions of dollars in 30$ history book. ~ Charles T. Munger
Book Collectors quotes by Charles T. Munger
I've been a children's book editor, a nanny, a camp counselor, a barista, a research lab assistant, and a movie theater ticket-taker. ~ Lisa Graff
Book Collectors quotes by Lisa Graff
Archie wasn't waiting for her at the attic. She didn't consider that. He was
probably giving her time to set and collect a trap, about a week or so as she guessed, a testing period. He couldn't trust her just yet, but she could tell that there was also more to it. He needed to distance himself, from her, because he was afraid to love her. That was it. Loving her was his flaw, weakness, and he could not have a weakness, not while at war. He wouldn't show up, not for some time. She knew that. The longer it would take for him to come back, the more he loved her. ~ Perie Wolford
Book Collectors quotes by Perie Wolford
Heaven from all creatures hides the book of Fate. ~ Alexander Pope
Book Collectors quotes by Alexander Pope
I just see in pop culture, music, visual art, books, etc., a real hunger for the new and different, and I think that's amazing. Satisfying this hunger is part of the responsibility of a creative person. ~ Porochista Khakpour
Book Collectors quotes by Porochista Khakpour
Buddha's Wife tells a fascinating story, little known in the west, about the woman whom Buddha left behind. Gabriel Constans focuses the reader's attention on the strong and complicated women who surrounded Buddha and makes us re-think the nature of spiritual life. ~ Chitra Banerjee Divakaruni
Book Collectors quotes by Chitra Banerjee Divakaruni
Book five of Dork Diaries is one of my favorite books it brings my thoughts deep into the book and think if you haven't read it you should you will probably fell just as I fell. ~ Rachel Renee Russell
Book Collectors quotes by Rachel Renee Russell
A book may be as great a thing as a battle. ~ Benjamin Disraeli
Book Collectors quotes by Benjamin Disraeli
To what level does your patriarchal blessing reach in your life? Can you recollect the time you received it and recover any of the spirit of the occasion? Do you in quiet moments ponder it? Does Karl G.Maeser's phrase, "paragraphs from the book of our possibilities" rest upon you with a sense of mission so that, as President Heber J.Grant exemplified, "you "dream nobly and manfully" and prepare ceaselessly? Do you ever think of Heber C.Kimball's faith that you can "write your own patriarchal blessing" under inspiration, for, saith the Lord, "No good thing will I withhold ... ~ Truman G. Madsen
Book Collectors quotes by Truman G. Madsen
Thus they in mutual accusation spent
The fruitless hours, but neither self - condemning;
And of their vain contest' appeared no end.
(The closing lines of Book Nine, which illuminates The Fall.) ~ John Milton
Book Collectors quotes by John Milton
And that's finally all anyone wants out of a book- to be amused ~ Paul Auster
Book Collectors quotes by Paul Auster
When I read the books, I imagined that the family of Ron Weasley was my family. ~ Rupert Grint
Book Collectors quotes by Rupert Grint
Sometimes when you cannot decide what to do, you pretend to be a character in a book, because it is easier to decide what they would do-Cassandra Clare ~ Cassandra Clare
Book Collectors quotes by Cassandra Clare
He had always thought of solitary diners as sad. But now that he was the solitary diner, he felt rather superior. On account of the book, mostly. Learning something while everyone else was wasting time. Like working at night. ~ Mark Haddon
Book Collectors quotes by Mark Haddon
There are countless books written on self-defense. Not all are non- sensical, but many are. Nathaniel Cooke has clearly thought a great deal about the subject and distilled its essence in a way that is wholly admirable. ~ Robert Twigger
Book Collectors quotes by Robert Twigger
A books should teach us to enjoy life, or to endure it. ~ Samuel Johnson
Book Collectors quotes by Samuel Johnson
CFR's Renewing America initiative - from which this book arose - has focused on those areas of economic policy that are the most important for reinforcing America's competitive strengths. Education, corporate tax policy, and infrastructure, for example, are issues that historically have been considered largely matters of domestic policy. Yet in a highly competitive global economy, an educated workforce, a competitive tax structure, and an efficient transportation network are all crucial to attracting investment and delivering goods and services that can succeed in global markets. The line between domestic economic policy and foreign economic policy is in many cases now almost invisible. Building a more competitive economy for the future requires that our political leaders - not just in Congress and the White House but also in state and local governments - understand how their policy choices can affect the choices of companies that can now invest almost anywhere in the world. ~ Edward Alden
Book Collectors quotes by Edward Alden
First of all I will confess quite simply - I believe that the Bible alone is the answer to all our questions, and that we need only to ask repeatedly and a little humbly, in order to receive this answer. One cannot simply read the Bible, like other books. One must be prepared really to enquire of it. Only thus will it reveal itself. Only if we expect from it the ultimate answer, shall we receive it. That is because in the Bible God speaks to us. And one cannot simply think about God in one's own strength, one has to enquire of him. Only if we seek him, will he answer us. Of course it is also possible to read the Bible like any other book, that is to say from the point of view of textual criticism, etc.; there is nothing to be said against that. Only that that is not the method which will reveal to us the heart of the Bible, but only the surface, just as we do not grasp the words of someone we love by taking them to bits, but by simply receiving them, so that for days they go on lingering in our minds, simply because they are the words of a person we love; and just as these words reveal more and more of the person who said them as we go on, like Mary, "pondering them in our heart," so it will be with the words of the Bible. Only if we will venture to enter into the words of the Bible, as though in them this God were speaking to us who loves us and does not will to leave us along with our questions, only so shall we learn to rejoice in the Bible. . . . ~ Dietrich Bonhoeffer
Book Collectors quotes by Dietrich Bonhoeffer
This book will prove the following ten facts:
1. A Goon is a being who melts into the foreground and sticks there.
2. Pigs have wings, making them hard to catch.
3. All power corrupts, but we need electricity.
4. When an irresistible force meets an immovable object, the result is a family fight.
5. Music does not always sooth the troubled beast.
6. An Englishman's home is his castle.
7. The female of the species is more deadly than the male.
8. One black eye deserves another.
9. Space is the final frontier, and so is the sewage farm.
10. It pays to increase your word power. ~ Diana Wynne Jones
Book Collectors quotes by Diana Wynne Jones
Books ... are like lobster shells, we surround ourselves with 'em, then we grow out of 'em and leave 'em behind, as evidence of our earlier stages of development. ~ Dorothy L. Sayers
Book Collectors quotes by Dorothy L. Sayers
We didn't have Facebook in my day, we had a phone book but you wouldn't waste an afternoon on it ~ Betty White
Book Collectors quotes by Betty White
Sometimes words need music too. Sometimes the descriptions are not enough. Books should be written with soundtracks, like films. ~ Terry Pratchett
Book Collectors quotes by Terry Pratchett
In The Highland Book of Platitudes, Marlais, there's an entry that reads, "Not all ghosts earn our memory in equal measure." I think about this sometimes. I think especially about the word "earn," because it implies an ongoing willful effort on the part of the dead, so that if you believe the platitude, you have to believe in the afterlife, don't you? Following that line of thought, there seem to be certain people - call them ghosts - with the ability to insinuate themselves into your life with more belligerence and exactitude than others - it's their employment and expertise. ~ Howard Norman
Book Collectors quotes by Howard Norman
Pleasant is a rainy winter's day, within doors! The best study for such a day, or the best amusement,
call it which you will,
is a book ... ~ Nathaniel Hawthorne
Book Collectors quotes by Nathaniel Hawthorne
An astonishing book. In compelling language, both homely and elegant, Young Men and Fire miraculously combines a fascinating primer on fires and firefighting, a powerful, breathtakingly real reconstruction of a tragedy, and a meditation on writing, grief and human character ... Maclean's last book will stir your heart and haunt your memory. ~ Timothy Foote
Book Collectors quotes by Timothy Foote
And we'll let the world dance around us while you lie here in my arms. The beat of your heart is all the music I need to hear. I spent my whole life searching for this melody, so I'll listen while I hold you near. ~ Courtney Giardina
Book Collectors quotes by Courtney Giardina
While much of modern behavioral and social science treats individuals as autonomous agents, it is absolutely clear that the way we think and act is enormously influenced by the culture in which we live. It also is clear that the major elements of modern culture-science, technology, law, music, and religion-have evolved over time in a quite concrete sense of the term. Mesoudi makes these arguments very well and his book is a very good read. ~ Richard R. Nelson
Book Collectors quotes by Richard R. Nelson
With the advancement in e-reading technology, I was curious if it were possible for readers to be able to hear the actual songs while reading the book. I contacted Amazon and discussed the idea with their Kindle team, and they were very enthusiastic about it. ~ Colleen Hoover
Book Collectors quotes by Colleen Hoover
Don't know much about history, don't know much biology, don't know much about a science book, don't know much about the French I took. ~ Sam Cooke
Book Collectors quotes by Sam Cooke
I love The Purple Book. It continually helps reinforce the only foundation worth building upon - a biblical one. ~ Peter Furler
Book Collectors quotes by Peter Furler
Throughout this book, we've been evangelizing simplicity, but ironically, the practice of simplicity is not simple. It is easy to build a bulky design by adding layer upon layer of navigation and features; it's much more difficult to create simple, graceful designs. Paring designs to essential elements while maintaining elegance and functionality requires courage and discipline. ~ Jakob Nielsen
Book Collectors quotes by Jakob Nielsen
She could have shot herself, scratched herself or indulged in other forms of self-mutilation, but she chose what she probably felt was the weakest option-to at least endure the discomfort of the weather. ~ Markus Zusak
