As a former English major, I am a sitting duck for Gift Books, and in the past few years I've gotten Dickens, Thackeray, Smollet, Richardson, Emerson, Keats, Boswell and the Brontes, all of them Great, none of them ever read by me, all of them now on a shelf, looking at me and making me feel guilty. ~ Garrison Keillor
Gift Books quotes by Garrison Keillor
Hopefully, you will glimpse something of your own life's journey and with Elemental's Power of Illuminated Love, possibly recognize and celebrate something you had not been able to recognize or celebrate before. ~ Luther E. Vann
Gift Books quotes by Luther E. Vann
Italia! O Italia! thou who hast The fatal gift of beauty. ~ Lord Byron
Gift Books quotes by Lord Byron
Because of the conflicts and challenges we face in today's world, I wish to suggest a single choice - a choice of peace and protection and a choice that is appropriate for all. That choice is faith. Be aware that faith is not a free gift given without thought, desire, or effort. It does not come as the dew falls from heaven. The Savior said, "Come unto me" (Matthew 11:28) and "Knock, and it shall be [given] you" (Matthew 7:7). These are action verbs - come, knock. They are choices. So I say, choose faith. ~ Richard C. Edgley
Gift Books quotes by Richard C. Edgley
circle back, you're nearly through.
The next one, then just one more clue.
Summer's coming, dark and drear,
Soon those tourists will appear.

In the word hoard you will find
Books with numbers on the spines.
A 2 a 9 a 2 again-
Not too easy for Athena's friend. ~ Megan Frazer Blakemore
Gift Books quotes by Megan Frazer Blakemore
How often have I met and disliked writers whose books I love; and conversely, hated the books and then wound up liking the writer? Too often. ~ Lev Grossman
Gift Books quotes by Lev Grossman
The coolest gift I've ever gotten from a fan was from the Franklin Mint. It was a knife, and it had a picture of General Wade Hampton, who my oldest son is named after. It's a collector's item and came with a case and a stand and everything. ~ Josh Turner
Gift Books quotes by Josh Turner
In the seventh century, Isaac the Syrian wrote about 'stillness,' which in his writings has been summarized as 'a deliberate denial of the gift of words for the sake of achieving inner silence, in the midst of which a person can hear the presence of God. It is standing unceasingly, silent, and prayerfully before God. ~ Kenneth Bailey
Gift Books quotes by Kenneth Bailey
Do we write books so that they shall merely be read? Don't we also write them for employment in the household? For one that is read from start to finish, thousands are leafed through, other thousands lie motionless, others are jammed against mouseholes, thrown at rats, others are stood on, sat on, drummed on, have gingerbread baked on them or are used to light pipes. ~ Georg C. Lichtenberg
Gift Books quotes by Georg C. Lichtenberg
Maybe just as many women writers as male writers could be billed as the next great American writer by their publisher. Maybe book criticism sections could review an equal amount of female and male writers. Maybe Oprah could start putting some books by women authors in her book club, since most of her audience is women. ~ Jami Attenberg
Gift Books quotes by Jami Attenberg
I think my sensibility is very literary; all my books were built as books, and I wasn't thinking about them being movies. ~ Bret Easton Ellis
Gift Books quotes by Bret Easton Ellis
We've measured the wingspan at twenty-five feet," the crime tech concluded.
"Well, that's no scissor-tailed flycatcher," Shane scoffed. "What could they possibly belong to?"
Ramon shrugged. "Your guess is as good as mine. Nothin' natural that size lives around here, that's for sure. ~ Tabi Slick
Gift Books quotes by Tabi Slick
All that can be done is for each of us to invent our own ideal library of our classics; and I would say that one half of it would consist of books we have read and that have meant something for us and the other half of books which we intend to read and which we suppose might mean something to us. We should also leave a section of empty spaces for surprises and chance discoveries. ~ Italo Calvino
Gift Books quotes by Italo Calvino
An active engagement with written material through reflective thought gained by reading and writing leads to intellectual growth. A person whom fails to read and write will experience mental stagnation. Failure to cultivate ideas by exposing oneself to written material limits a person's resources to what they see and hear. Passively reviewing external stimuli might lull a person into believing that they are actively thinking and growing. The more external stimuli a person exposes themselves to, the less time that is available for pursing mental, emotional, and spiritual growth. ~ Kilroy J. Oldster
Gift Books quotes by Kilroy J. Oldster
I can talk to fish!" Angel said happily, water dripping off her long, skinny body. "Ask one over for dinner," Fang said, joining us. ~ James Patterson
Gift Books quotes by James Patterson
I have so many books to write now. So I'll write from home. Sometimes I'm writing in the office too, in my cubicle. It looks like a mess. It doesn't look like anybody uses the spot. ~ Gerard Way
Gift Books quotes by Gerard Way
A proud man is seldom a grateful man, for he never thinks that he gets as much as he deserves."1 The grateful heart, on the other hand, sees each day as a gift. ~ Max Lucado
Gift Books quotes by Max Lucado
She chose when and where she would die. She chose the meaning of her death, and she chose the method. Rare is that gift, isn't it? Rare is the choice to write the end of your own story. ~ Seth Dickinson
Gift Books quotes by Seth Dickinson
Laughter is really a gift. It's the most vulnerable state you can be in. ~ David Dobkin
Gift Books quotes by David Dobkin
a lot of books to read but time is limited ~ Kohta Hirano
Gift Books quotes by Kohta Hirano
I never have a realistic sense of self. I either think everything I do is terrible and I'm the worst guy on the planet, or from time to time I'll think I'm the greatest gift to music and the coolest guy who ever lived, but that happens maybe an hour out of the week. Some days I'm more concerned with how my hair looks than what my guitar sounds like. ~ Dave Navarro
Gift Books quotes by Dave Navarro
There's no such thing as being alone in the universe, and so there's no such thing as creating alone. Everything - every impulse, every creative gift of beauty, everything is a co-creation. ~ Gary Zukav
Gift Books quotes by Gary Zukav
..all of us who are sealed to the Library are people who have chosen this way of life because we love books. None of us wanted to save worlds. I mean, not that we object to saving worlds..." She shrugged, picking up her teacup again "We want books. We love books. We live with books. ~ Genevieve Cogman
Gift Books quotes by Genevieve Cogman
Life is the greatest gift that could ever be conceived ... A daffodil pushing up through the dark earth to the spring, knowing somehow deep in its roots that spring and light and sunshine will come, has more courage and more knowledge of the value of life than any human being I've met. ~ Madeleine L'Engle
Gift Books quotes by Madeleine L'Engle
The people who run the circus kidnapped us from our parents. Since we got here, we have all been working in the circus.
We can't see any of our mummies or kiss them OR cuddle up to them. said Adrian.
His tears flowing in his big blue eyes that were the colour of the sky.
We didn't want to listen to our parents when they told us: 'Never, Ever!" talk to strangers.
We all disobeyed and spoke to strangers, and then the strangers stole us away from our parents. ~ Magda M. Olchawska
Gift Books quotes by Magda M. Olchawska
Religion is spelled 'D-O', because it consists of the things people do try to somehow gain God's forgiveness and favor. But the problem is that you never know when you've done enough. But thankfully, Christianity is spelled differently. It's spelled 'D-O-N-E', which means that what we could never for ourselves, Christ has already done for us. To become a real Christian is to humbly receive God's gift of forgiveness and to commit to following His leadership. ~ Bill Hybels
Gift Books quotes by Bill Hybels
don't rush though: your eyes need time to taste. your soul needs room to bloom. ~ Kwame Alexander
Gift Books quotes by Kwame Alexander
When Toni Morrison said she writes the kind of books she wants to read, she was acknowledging the fact that in a society in which "accepted literature" is so often sexist and racist and otherwise irrelevant or offensive to so many lives, she must do the work of two. She must be her own model as well as the artist attending, creating, learning from, realizing the model, which is to say, herself. ~ Alice Walker
Gift Books quotes by Alice Walker
A home without books is a body without soul. ~ Marcus Tullius Cicero
Gift Books quotes by Marcus Tullius Cicero
She'd always loved the faintly sweet musty way that only a roomful of books smelled. She took confirt in the soft occasional sound of turning pages. ~ Lauren Kate
Gift Books quotes by Lauren Kate
I think the people who would be the least interested in my work would be people who read lots of comic books. ~ Harvey Pekar
Gift Books quotes by Harvey Pekar
I remember my favorite books when I was a kid: 'The Redwall Adventure' series, 'Ender's Game,' things like that. ~ Marie Lu
Gift Books quotes by Marie Lu
She knew it was going to happen, was ready for it, but when he pulled her to his lips, nothing could have prepared her for the heavy rush of desire that slammed through her. ~ Kiersten Fay
Gift Books quotes by Kiersten Fay
It's ironic, isn't it? How hope keeps us breathing just to kill us in the end. ~ Nicole Lyons
Gift Books quotes by Nicole  Lyons
Oh bats, oh bats, oh snacks with wings–
Come and hear how Taggle sings!
Oh squirm, oh squeak, my wriggly bats–
You'll make a gift for lady cats! ~ Erin Bow
Gift Books quotes by Erin Bow
They have a baby grand piano, but no one in the family plays. They have shelves of books they've never read, and the tension between the couples was so thick it nearly choked us. ~ Ruta Sepetys
Gift Books quotes by Ruta Sepetys
This book might also be seen as "a Christian primer." A primer teaches us how to read. Reading is not just about learning to recognize and pronounce words, but also about how to hear and understand them. This book's purpose is to help us to read, hear, and inwardly digest Christian language without preconceived understandings getting in the way. ~ Marcus J. Borg
Gift Books quotes by Marcus J. Borg
Loneliness seeks out metaphors not just for definition but for the companionship of resonance, the promise of kinship in comparison. ~ Leslie Jamison
Gift Books quotes by Leslie Jamison
Books are the best messages and gifts. ~ Disha
Gift Books quotes by Disha
Beautiful gifts sometimes come adorned in ugly wrapping. ~ Matshona Dhliwayo
