If you have never read any book then try reading 'I Lost My Soul', you will fall in love with books. ~ Ved Nishad
Book Lovers quotes by Ved Nishad
Give me a man or woman who has read a thousand books and you give me an interesting companion. Give me a man or woman who has read perhaps three and you give me a very dangerous enemy indeed. ~ Anne Rice
Book Lovers quotes by Anne Rice
Those for whom the world is not enough: saints, conquerors, poets, and all lovers of books. ~ Joseph Joubert
Book Lovers quotes by Joseph Joubert
It was my father who had taught me to love books for themselves, the smell of the vellum and paper, the rare authority of the pages. "Here, do you see this marvelous book, the skins of 182 sheep," he once pronounced as he slapped his hand down on the stamped leather cover boards. "The book is a flock, a jewel, a cemetery, a lantern, a garden, a piss pot; pigments ground of precious minerals, charred bone, lamp soot, rare plants and insects. Pigments formed at the corrosion of copper plates suspended above urine. ~ Regina O'Melveny
Book Lovers quotes by Regina O'Melveny
We travel to ancient times by reading history books. ~ Lailah Gifty Akita
Book Lovers quotes by Lailah Gifty Akita
Books are the windows to our Soul! ~ Avijeet Das
Book Lovers quotes by Avijeet Das
Reading is a private pursuit; one that takes place behind closed doors. ~ Siri Hustvedt
Book Lovers quotes by Siri Hustvedt
Don't give up on the power of books to change lives and the world. As everything goes digital, book formats will morph, but their profound influence will endure. ~ David Marshall
Book Lovers quotes by David   Marshall
Our clients' faces, with the customary outward paleness and inner glow of the book lover. ~ Diane Setterfield
Book Lovers quotes by Diane Setterfield
If I could have anything I wanted, I would choose story without end, and it seems I have lots of company in that. ~ Annie Barrows
Book Lovers quotes by Annie Barrows
A real and admirable writer is the one who can write good books but can take criticisms better. ~ Nicholaa Spencer
Book Lovers quotes by Nicholaa Spencer
Books about books are a rare species, special tomes for writers and book lovers. More than an affirmation of taste, a book about books is often a spirited celebration and sincere investigation. Quickly coveted, it remains on that particular shelf, guarded and revered, and eventually slips out of print. What good company we will keep then, among a library lost, only momentarily invisible, waiting patiently to be found. ~ Tom Cardamone
Book Lovers quotes by Tom Cardamone
Any room in our house at any time in the day was there to read in or to be read to. ~ Eudora Welty
Book Lovers quotes by Eudora Welty
His fingers unhooked from hers, following that same path up her arm, and then back down it again. The feeling was so distracting, so good, so sweet against her clammy skin. She didn't choose a piece from her repertoire; Etta gave herself over to the notes that started streaming through her mind, rising from somewhere deep inside of her.

The melody of her heart had no name; it was quick, and light. It rolled with the waves, falling as the breath left his chest, rising as he inhaled. It was the rain sliding down the glass; the fog spreading its fingers over the water. The creaking of a ship's great body. The secrets whispered by the wind, and the unseen life that moved below.

It was the flame against the candle.

Nicholas's arm was a map of hard muscles and delicate sinews, heartbreakingly perfect. She wondered if he could hear her humming the piece against his skin over the droning roars overhead. Maybe. His free hand skimmed up her skin, leaving a trail of sparks in its wake.

With the world blacked out around them, she could catalog all over her senses, capture this moment in the warm darkness forever. He brushed back the loose hair across her forehead, cheek, the corner of her lips, her jaw, and she knew it had to be the same for him, that they'd never been so aware of another person in their entire lives.

She released his arm, and he drew it up around her, guiding both of them down so they were on their sides, their hea ~ Alexandra Bracken
Book Lovers quotes by Alexandra Bracken
Mark ran his fingers over the bindings and
whispered words, written long ago, words that
wriggled through the aged leather, trembled
beneath his touch. What lives and loves,
hopes and dreams, deaths and despair
these volumes held. ~ Ellen Read
Book Lovers quotes by Ellen Read
Writing is all about self-expression, we want to speak up, to get it off our chest. Whether we make an impact or not that is not for us to decide ~ Bangambiki Habyarimana
Book Lovers quotes by Bangambiki Habyarimana
Home is where you keep your books! ~ Avijeet Das
Book Lovers quotes by Avijeet Das
But the book! The siren song of the book! ~ Ellen Douglas
Book Lovers quotes by Ellen Douglas
B-b-but who will I have cleaning marathons with?"
"Casey. I'll be there in spirit."
"She's not neurotic and cranky like you."
"You'll miss that, ay?"
"Hell yes, I'll miss that! When you're obsessive and pissy, you tell those floors who's boss. They won't shine like that when Casey scrubs them. And don't get me started on our Covenant Series discussions. The girl thinks Alex should pick Seth. Seth, Em. How can I clean with someone who isn't Team Aiden? It's like ... madness. Madness on Earth. The fucking apocalypse - "
"Whitney," I chuckled, squeezing her tighter, "I assure you, you'll survive. The second she starts running her mouth about Aiden, just spray her with bleach. That'll teach her a lesson."
-Emma and Whitney ~ Rachael Wade
Book Lovers quotes by Rachael Wade
Each spine with its shelf-mark code in familiar typewriter font, each date stamp a footprint of readers gone before and each shelf with its alphabetical ordering - these things align to provide the orderliness so cherished in a library. There is safety and structure amongst the stacks. Everything has a place, and you have found yours. ~ Daniel Gray
Book Lovers quotes by Daniel Gray
Books are my refuge. I can crawl into the space between the pages and curl my back to loneliness. ~ Anubhav Mishra
Book Lovers quotes by Anubhav Mishra
Write it as you see in your own perspective, you may be right or wrong but then what, that's how you see it ~ Bangambiki Habyarimana
Book Lovers quotes by Bangambiki Habyarimana
A room without books makes book-lovers shudder ~ Cicero Tabitha
Book Lovers quotes by Cicero Tabitha
You are yet to catch up with the real world if you've never studied any concepts outside the school syllabus or read any books beside the texts books school forced you to read. Most people are just programmed not educated ~ Nicky Verd
Book Lovers quotes by Nicky Verd
The cats are asleep at the end of my bed and all around me, the thundery silence of L'Escarènere, caught at last in the rising flood of warm air, carrying the sand from the south. The Alps are folded above in the flickering light. And on the desk in the room beneath lies the writing which insists that the only escape is through the absolute destruction of everything you have ever known, loved, cared for, believed in, even the shell of yourself must be discarded with contempt; for freedom costs no less than everything, including your generosity, self-respect, integrity, tenderness - is that really what i wanted to say? It's what I have said. Worse still, I have pointed out the sheer creative joy of this ferocious destructiveness and the liberating wonder of violence. And these are dangerous messages for which I am no longer responsible. ~ Patricia Duncker
Book Lovers quotes by Patricia Duncker
Books should not be loved selfishly. Neither books nor anything else, in fact. ~ Marie Sabine Roger
Book Lovers quotes by Marie Sabine Roger
I am obsessed with books.
I am a book collector. ~ Lailah Gifty Akita
Book Lovers quotes by Lailah Gifty Akita
In order to protect their good names for posterity, many writers never wrote what they thought or the truth as it stood. That's why truth still lies hidden in matters of power, sex and religion. No wonder they chose to do so, many who dared paid with their heads ~ Bangambiki Habyarimana
Book Lovers quotes by Bangambiki Habyarimana
I thought I appreciated books, but this was an alter to the book gods. It was hard not to be impressed. I didn't know what had the most impact: the rosewood shelving, the rolling library ladders, the mezzanine floor with the ornate spiral wrought-iron staircases at each end, the carved moldings, the scent of well-loved books, or the silky Aubusson rugs in a soft faded palette of rose, sage and aqua. ~ Victoria Abbott
Book Lovers quotes by Victoria Abbott
Why is it that people who wouldn't dream of stealing anything else think it's perfectly all right to steal books? ~ Helene Hanff
Book Lovers quotes by Helene Hanff
Are there sexual fetishes that involve books? There must be. I try not to imagine how they might work. ~ Robin Sloan
Book Lovers quotes by Robin Sloan
Self-censorship is more efficient than any police. You write and say not what you really think, but what you believe is acceptable. By that process we lose those revolutionary ideas that could change society for the better ~ Bangambiki Habyarimana
Book Lovers quotes by Bangambiki Habyarimana
Books couldn't judge you or hurt you. They didn't make me feel small and insignificant. I know it's weird, but I always felt really close to the characters in books, like they were my true circle of friends, inviting me into their world. ~ Amy Koto
Book Lovers quotes by Amy Koto
I never had a book get angry or yell at me, never had a book show disappointment in me or consider me stupid because I didn't understand a line or needed to reread a paragraph or didn't know a word, never had a book mock me, never had a book turn its back on me or slap me in the face or fire me from reading it or decide it was in love with a faster, more intelligent, handsomer reader, I never even had a book get bored with me, or question my logic, I never had a book look suddenly crestfallen because I shut it and left it on its own, I've never met a book too shy to come into the bathroom with me or under the covers, I never met a book that refused to read me to sleep. ~ Mark Frutkin
Book Lovers quotes by Mark Frutkin
What a blessing it is to love books. ~ Elizabeth Von Arnim
Book Lovers quotes by Elizabeth Von Arnim
When you travel, buy a historical book about the place, read to increase your knowledge on the beautiful places of the world. ~ Lailah Gifty Akita
Book Lovers quotes by Lailah Gifty Akita
The most comfortable place for a tired mind is in the lap of a book. ~ Aman Jassal
Book Lovers quotes by Aman Jassal
She would read a book hundreds of times, carrying it with her until the pages were torn and the covers were falling off, then she'd paste the covers to the ceiling where she could stare at them, like remembering a good dream. ~ Sarah Addison Allen
Book Lovers quotes by Sarah Addison Allen
Books are a treasured friend, however it's difficult to explain it to a non-reader. ~ Aman Jassal
Book Lovers quotes by Aman Jassal
Of all books printed, probably not more than half are ever read. Many are embalmed in public libraries; many go into private quarters to fill spaces; many are glanced at and put away ... scarcely opened until the fire needs kindling. The most ardent book-lovers are not always the greatest readers; indeed, the rabid bibliomaniac seldom reads at all. To him books are as ducats to the miser, something to be hoarded and not employed ... So pleasant it is to buy book; so tiresome to utilize them. ~ Flora Haines Loughead
Book Lovers quotes by Flora Haines Loughead
A life without books is empty. ~ Lailah Gifty Akita
Book Lovers quotes by Lailah Gifty Akita
Dogeared pages were Antichrist of book lovers everywhere. ~ Jennifer L. Armentrout
Book Lovers quotes by Jennifer L. Armentrout
Then I celebrated my Wall of Books. I counted the volumes on my twenty-foot-long modernist bookshelf to make sure none had been misplaced or used as kindling by my subtenant. "You're my sacred ones," I told the books. "No one but me still cares about you. But I'm going to keep you with me forever. And one day I'll make you important again." I thought about that terrible calumny of the new generation: that books smell. ~ Gary Shteyngart
Book Lovers quotes by Gary Shteyngart
In a second-hand bookshop head to the back, find the old books with dust undisturbed and worn off covers for these clothe true treasures. ~ Rachel Hall
Book Lovers quotes by Rachel Hall
I don't care about the rules or anyone else. People are awful - they're idiots - and if they try to hurt you, I won't need the revolver. I care about you and all I ask is that you try not to make me feel like an idiot for it. You're supposed to . . . you're my partner. ~ Alexandra Bracken
Book Lovers quotes by Alexandra Bracken
Something significant, magical, and
inspiring happens with each word you read in the pages of a book. You explore new lands, meet new people, feel new emotions, and are no longer the same person you were one word prior to reading it. ~ Martha Sweeney
Book Lovers quotes by Martha Sweeney
It smelled like a library – the initial whiff of something bitter, followed by the scent lingering in every book there – dusty, sweet, and full of possibilities. ~ Kimberly Krey
Book Lovers quotes by Kimberly Krey
You will never find me in trouble. You will find me in the library. If you can remember where that is. ~ Sarah Rees Brennan
Book Lovers quotes by Sarah Rees Brennan
A book is indeed dead until a reader brings it into life by reading it. ~ Aman Jassal
Book Lovers quotes by Aman Jassal
Readers are the glue that binds the books together. ~ J.E.B. Spredemann
Book Lovers quotes by J.E.B. Spredemann
Book lovers are engaged with writers in a private communion that occurs in some vaporous cenacle of the mind. ~ Joe Queenan
Book Lovers quotes by Joe Queenan
The internet is killing the art of writing. The big "publish" button begs you to publish even before you go back and make one single edit, and as if this was not enough, you have instant readers who praise your writing skills!- ~ Bangambiki Habyarimana
Book Lovers quotes by Bangambiki Habyarimana
You have to store up books, becoming acquainted with human experience; let them lie around your thoughts, becoming yours - ring upon ring, as a tree grows, let them rise up from the depths like coral islands.

If it gets crowded with all the books and there's nowhere to put your bed, it's better to exchange it for a folding bed ~ Victor Shklovsky
Book Lovers quotes by Victor Shklovsky
GURU is a word that epitomizes knowledge. There is
a tattva (element) of Guru in each of us. Knowingly or
unknowingly, whenever we do something to benefit
another, without expecting anything in return, we bring
alive the Guru element within ourselves. ~ Hingori
Book Lovers quotes by Hingori
Can you imagine a world without books to read? ~ Lailah Gifty Akita
Book Lovers quotes by Lailah Gifty Akita
What is it with you and that book?"
Rafael laughed. "We have a personal relationship. ~ Benjamin Alire Saenz
Book Lovers quotes by Benjamin Alire Saenz
It's sort of like books. Yeah, you know how you read certain books and at the last page you're filled with the story and you sort of don't want to leave the characters? ~ Tracy Ewens
Book Lovers quotes by Tracy Ewens
Book lovers will understand me,
and they will know too that part of the pleasure
of a library lies in its very existence. ~ Jan Morris
Book Lovers quotes by Jan Morris
If a book is worth reading, it will most probably be worth reading twice. ~ Aman Jassal
Book Lovers quotes by Aman Jassal
Books are sacred wisdom. ~ Lailah Gifty Akita
Book Lovers quotes by Lailah Gifty Akita
There was a table laid with jellies and trifles, with a party hat beside each place, and a birthday cake with seven candles on it in the center of the table. The cake had a book drawn on it, in icing. My mother, who had organized the party, told me that the lady at the bakery said that they had never put a book on a birthday cake before, and that mostly for boys it was footballs or spaceships. I was their first book. ~ Neil Gaiman
Book Lovers quotes by Neil Gaiman
Reading's my reward at the end of the day ~ Cheryl Strayed
Book Lovers quotes by Cheryl Strayed
I have considered rap music stars, and there is one in my new book, Lovers and Players, and there is also a hip-hop music mogul who I think you will like a lot. ~ Jackie Collins
Book Lovers quotes by Jackie Collins
Sometimes I have a good idea, something I wish I could remember, and instead of writing it down, commit it to my memory only to disappear when I needed it. Write your ideas as they come, if you wait it will be too long and you may not recover it. It may get destroyed as it is to seed to and fro in the ever rushing river of our thoughts ~ Bangambiki Habyarimana
Book Lovers quotes by Bangambiki Habyarimana
Every book is worth reading. If it cannot make you wiser it will make you a critic ~ Bangambiki Habyarimana
Book Lovers quotes by Bangambiki Habyarimana
The presence of hundreds of books had finally convinced Hermione that what they were doing was right. ~ J.K. Rowling
Book Lovers quotes by J.K. Rowling
I want to read every book that's written
hear every song that was sung
I want to gaze at every cloud
and hold the zing of each fruit on my tongue. ~ Sanober Khan
Book Lovers quotes by Sanober Khan
It is not enough for the hand to touch a book and turn its pages. The pages of a book must touch the heart. ~ Jennifer Spredemann
Book Lovers quotes by Jennifer  Spredemann
To live, fiction must be read, and to be read it must be enjoyed. Why do so many people talk about the number of times they've lost interest in a book after a couple of chapters, or only "toughed it out" to the end out of a sense of obligation? I'd say it's because too many writers have forgotten that the writer's job isn't merely to express himself, it's to reach a reader. That doesn't mean pandering to the lowest common denominator. But it does mean that even a work of smart, thoughtful fiction should strive to engage and entertain. If you're a writer of literary fiction and all you're bringing to the party is a poetic turn of phrase or a deep thought, that's not enough. What about pace? Humour? Characters you care about and a smattering of suspense that makes you want to "find out what happens next?" All of these, plus rich language, bracing honesty and emotional resonance, should be components of the best, most thoughtful fiction. Because that's the sort of reading experience that readers should be able to expect from a novel that demands hours of their time. ~ Trevor Cole
Book Lovers quotes by Trevor Cole
The best gift you can give me is a book. ~ Lailah Gifty Akita
Book Lovers quotes by Lailah Gifty Akita
She herself was a victim of that lust for books which rages in the breast like a demon, and which cannot be stilled save by the frequent and plentiful acquisition of books. This passion is more common, and more powerful, than most people suppose. Book lovers are thought by unbookish people to be gentle and unworldly, and perhaps a few of them are so. But there are others who will lie and scheme and steal to get books as wildly and unconscionably as the dope-taker in pursuit of his drug. They may not want the books to read immediately, or at all; they want them to possess, to range on their shelves, to have at command. ~ Robertson Davies
Book Lovers quotes by Robertson Davies
I took my time, running my fingers along the spines of books, stopping to pull a title from the shelf and inspect it. A sense of well-being flowed through me as I circled the ground floor. It was better than meditation or a new pair of shoes- or even chocolate. My life was a disaster, but there were still books. Lots and lots of books. A refuge. A solace. Each one offering the possibility of a new beginning. ~ Beth Pattillo
Book Lovers quotes by Beth Pattillo
At the sight of a good book, you just can't walk away but to claim and read it. ~ Lailah Gifty Akita
Book Lovers quotes by Lailah Gifty Akita
Reading is a wonderful wonder. ~ Lailah Gifty Akita
Book Lovers quotes by Lailah Gifty Akita
Books are to the mind as the whetstone for the knives. ~ Aman Jassal
Book Lovers quotes by Aman Jassal
I do love secondhand books that open to the page some previous owner read oftenest. The day Hazlitt came he opened to "I hate to read new books," and I hollered "Comrade!" to whoever owned it before me. ~ Helene Hanff
Book Lovers quotes by Helene Hanff
To all those who face change without fear. Go forward. To the ever-transforming glory of the public library, without which we would all be diminished. No one with a book is ever alone, even in the darkest moments. We are all book lovers. And we all chase the Great Library of Alexandria, one book at a time. ~ Rachel Caine
Book Lovers quotes by Rachel Caine
I love an author the more for having been himself a lover of books. ~ Henry Wadsworth Longfellow
Book Lovers quotes by Henry Wadsworth Longfellow
I used to get upset if somebody I didn't like loved a book I loved. That's MY book, I'd think. ~ Abigail Thomas
Book Lovers quotes by Abigail Thomas
Those that spend the greater part of their time in reading or writing books are, of course, apt to take rather particular notice of accumulations of books when they come across them. They will not pass a stall, a shop, or even a bedroom-shelf without reading some title, and if they find themselves in an unfamiliar library, no host need trouble himself further about their entertainment. The putting of dispersed sets of volumes together, or the turning right way up of those which the dusting housemaid has left in an apoplectic condition, appeals to them as one of the lesser Works of Mercy. ~ M.R. James
Book Lovers quotes by M.R. James
Well, tell me boy," she said, "what have you been reading?"
Craftily he picked his way across the waste land of printery,
naming as his favorites those books which he felt would win her
approval. As he had read everything, good and bad, that the town
library contained, he was able to make an impressive showing.
Sometimes she stopped him to question about a book--he rebuilt the
story richly with a blazing tenacity of detail that satisfied her
wholly. She was excited and eager--she saw at once how abundantly
she could feed this ravenous hunger for knowledge, experience,
wisdom. And he knew suddenly the joy of obedience: the wild
ignorant groping, the blind hunt, the desperate baffled desire was
now to be ruddered, guided, controlled. The way through the
passage to India, that he had never been able to find, would now be
charted for him. Before he went away she had given him a fat
volume of nine hundred pages, shot through with spirited engravings
of love and battle, of the period he loved best.
He was drowned deep at midnight in the destiny of the man who
killed the bear, the burner of windmills and the scourge of
banditry, in all the life of road and tavern in the Middle Ages, in
valiant and beautiful Gerard, the seed of genius, the father of
Erasmus. Eugene thought The Cloister and the Hearth the best story
he had ever read. ~ Thomas Wolfe
Book Lovers quotes by Thomas Wolfe
On silent moonless nights, I don't feel lonely! I have my greatest friends - my books for company! ~ Avijeet Das
Book Lovers quotes by Avijeet Das
You call us book lovers, and it's true. We are. And so are you, at heart. You believe in the power of them to change the world. ~ Rachel Caine
Book Lovers quotes by Rachel Caine
It was the fangirl code for every book geek: read, chat, squeal. Re-read, chat, and squeal again, until it's all over and the dreaded book funk sets in. Find the next best thing to fill the void, then repeat steps one through three as necessary. ~ Rachael Wade
Book Lovers quotes by Rachael Wade
That's what our country needs – more books and far more readers. ~ Aman Jassal
Book Lovers quotes by Aman Jassal
Marika was a book nerd and had a TBR pile taller than her. She was a sucker for YA ~ Mirella Muffarotto
Book Lovers quotes by Mirella Muffarotto
Books are magical keys to open up worlds and change perspectives. ~ Alpha Four
Book Lovers quotes by Alpha Four
If you are afraid of the critics you will never write a word ~ Bangambiki Habyarimana
Book Lovers quotes by Bangambiki Habyarimana
I suspect it may be like the difference between a drinker and an alcoholic; the one merely reads books, the other needs books to make it through the day.
(Interview with The Booklovers blog, September 2010) ~ Gail Carriger
Book Lovers quotes by Gail Carriger
She sighed and looked at him sympathetically. 'Cool flame tricks aside, there's no competition.'
He lifted his eyebrow. 'Library wins?'
'Every single time. ~ Elizabeth Hunter
Book Lovers quotes by Elizabeth Hunter
Reading is my breath. ~ Lailah Gifty Akita
Book Lovers quotes by Lailah Gifty Akita
I like to think of books as lovers; you have to introduce yourself slowly to them, read them one page at a time. Notice them, appreciate them. Respect what they're trying to tell you, let their words caress you, then sink into you, and finally, become a part of you. ~ Stacie Hammond
Book Lovers quotes by Stacie Hammond
Able writers let us into their minds and show us how they think and by that open our minds to ourselves ~ Bangambiki Habyarimana
Book Lovers quotes by Bangambiki Habyarimana
Are you still with this man?
On no, She sniffed. I realized pretty quickly I couldn't marry a man without a bookshelf.
No bookshelf?
In his house. Not even a little one in his loo for the Reader's Digest.
Many people in this country don't read books.
He didn't have one book. Not even a true crime. Or a Jeffrey Archer. I mean, what does that tell you about someone's character? ~ Jojo Moyes
Book Lovers quotes by Jojo Moyes
I know some who are constantly drunk on books as other men are drunk on whiskey. ~ H.L. Mencken
Book Lovers quotes by H.L. Mencken
Some books send you around the world, while others send you around the bend. ~ Kevin Ansbro
Book Lovers quotes by Kevin Ansbro
If I had time, money and knowledge I could write about everything; but no problem, Google is already doing it ~ Bangambiki Habyarimana
Book Lovers quotes by Bangambiki Habyarimana
She is never alone when she has Her Books. Books, to her, are Friends. Give her Shakespeare or Jane Austen, Meredith or Hardy, and she is Lost - lost in a world of her own. She sleeps so little that most of her nights are spent reading. ~ E.M. Delafield
Book Lovers quotes by E.M. Delafield
I wish I could remember the moment when I was a kid and I discovered that the letters linked into words, and that the words linked to real things. What a revelation that must have been. We don't have the words for it, since we hadn't yet learned the words. It must have been astonishing, to be given the key to the kingdom and see it turn in our hands so easily. ~ David Levithan
Book Lovers quotes by David Levithan
Coffee in the dawn
With books open like our hearts,
Our weekend ritual ~ Eric Overby
