Standing there, staring at the long shelves crammed with books, I felt myself relax and was suddenly at peace. ~ Helene Hanff
Long Book quotes by Helene Hanff
What I would really love to happen to me would be if I came upon an idea that would keep me busy until I die so I wouldn't have to go through the business of thinking up a new book. But I wouldn't mind writing a long book which is going to occupy me for the rest of my life. ~ Philip Roth
Long Book quotes by Philip Roth
The Little Friend is a long book. It's also completely different from my first novel: different landscape, different characters, different use of language and diction, different approach to story. ~ Donna Tartt
Long Book quotes by Donna Tartt
I am a product of long corridors, empty sunlit rooms, upstairs indoor silences, attics explored in solitude, distant noises of gurgling cisterns and pipes, and the noise of wind under the tiles. Also, of endless books. ~ C.S. Lewis
Long Book quotes by C.S. Lewis
Considering Adrian had once gotten bored while reading while reading a particularly long menu, I had a hard time imagining he'd read the Hugo book in any language. ~ Richelle Mead
Long Book quotes by Richelle Mead
But I too hate long books: the better, the worse. If they're bad they merely make me pant with the effort of holding them up for a few minutes. But if they're good, I turn into a social moron for days, refusing to go out of my room, scowling and growling at interruptions, ignoring weddings and funerals, and making enemies out of friends. I still bear the scars of Middlemarch. ~ Vikram Seth
Long Book quotes by Vikram Seth
Surprising what you can dig out of books if you read long enough, isn't it? ~ Robert Jordan
Long Book quotes by Robert Jordan
We kissed each other, long and deep, while my legs opened like the covers of a book. ~ Deborah Harkness
Long Book quotes by Deborah Harkness
Long books, when read, are usually overpraised, because the reader wishes to convince others and himself that he has not wasted his time. ~ E. M. Forster
Long Book quotes by E. M. Forster
It just hangs there. This little... flap of flesh. And there's so much fuss that we make about it. I think the reason we fight wars is because we wear clothes. Because no one knows–between the men, I mean–who has the bigger... weenie. So. if I'm a guy with a small one, I'm going to build a really big building or take over a really big piece of land or write a really long book so the other men don't know, right? But see, it never really works, that's the problem. I mean, you conquer the country, or whatever, but you're still wearing clothes, so there's no way to prove absolutely whose is bigger or smaller. And that's what we call a civilized society. The whole world run by a bunch of men with pricks the size of pins. ~ David Henry Hwang
Long Book quotes by David Henry Hwang
It's a wisdom that comes from seeing how things work. Things you want to happen always take a long time.' She pointed one little finger at the meech dragon and shook it in his face. 'You may read books and know bunches, but I have lived life longer than you. ~ Donita K. Paul
Long Book quotes by Donita K. Paul
I've got a long list of books I wish I'd never written-and I've kept them all out of print for the past 20 years. ~ Dean Koontz
Long Book quotes by Dean Koontz
I think that the economics of book publishing favor hits with long book runs. You make all your money on the last bunch of books, not the first. ~ Seth Godin
Long Book quotes by Seth Godin
I already read everything. I read poems and plays and novels and newspapers and comic books and magazines. I read tins in supermarkets and leaflets that come through the door, unsolicited mail. None of it lasts long and it doesn't give me answers. Reading too fast is not soothing. ~ Janice Galloway
Long Book quotes by Janice Galloway
It could be a work of fiction, or history, or both - a long book exploding out of this central place in a hundred directions. ~ Stephen King
Long Book quotes by Stephen King
When I used to play golf. It's a terrible miserable game. It's incredibly frustrating. In 18 holes you make 150 horrible shots off in the woods, in the water ... You make one good shot and it brings you back the next time. With writing a long book there has to be at least one bit that has some magic in it that you can go back to. ~ Alan Lightman
Long Book quotes by Alan Lightman
Two whores who finally found something to mother. A guy could write a book about it, he thought bitterly, call it From Hair To Maternity. It would probly be a very long book. Whores did not produce as fast as rabbits. ~ James Jones
Long Book quotes by James Jones
But really, that is kind of silly,' Abigail tried to explain. 'I mean, a book is much less personal than a programmed screen that can respond to you according to your needs, and concentrate on what's hard for you, and go fast on what's easy. A book stays the same no matter *who's* reading it. And anyway, I don't see how anyone could read a whole long book, it must be so boring!'

'But...but it wasn't,' Peter said faintly. 'I...almost forgot I was reading it. The...the whole story was going on in my head.'

'I still don't understand,' said Oliver. 'I mean, watching a real-life hologram right before your eyes is better than anything you could *imagine.* ~ William Sleator
Long Book quotes by William Sleator
The book which I read by Stephen Hand, Freedy VS Jason, was incrediable. I also check out and the book Zodiac, again an incrediable story. The Stand by Stephen King was again on incrediable story, a long book and film, but incrediable!
Theory of Everything where it put it me I still can't believe, it was unique story, I had chance to see who is Stephen Hawking really! ~ Deyth Banger
Long Book quotes by Deyth Banger
You know, it's a funny thing about writers. Most people don't stop to think of books being written by people much like themselves. They think that writers are all dead long ago
they don't expect to meet them in the street or out shopping. They know their stories but not their names, and certainly not their faces. And most writers like it that way. ~ Cornelia Funke
Long Book quotes by Cornelia Funke
I've learned to look like I'm listening to long confusing plots of cartoons and comic books when I'm actually sound asleep or making grocery shopping lists in my head. ~ Patricia Heaton
Long Book quotes by Patricia Heaton
I'm still happy with the way Einstein's Dreams came out. That book came out of a single inspiration. I really felt like I was not creating the words, that I was hearing the words. That someone else was speaking the words to me and I was just writing them down. It was a very strange experience. That can happen with a short book. I don't think it could happen with a long book. ~ Alan Lightman
Long Book quotes by Alan Lightman
Proust's is a long book, though, water- skiing permitting, you could get through it in the summer recess ~ Alan Bennett
Long Book quotes by Alan Bennett
If people don't read, that's their choice; a lifelong book habit may itself be some sort of affliction. ~ Penelope Lively
Long Book quotes by Penelope Lively
I have been devoured all my life by an incurable and burning impatience: and to this day find all oratory, biography, operas, films, plays, books, and persons, too long. ~ Margot Asquith
Long Book quotes by Margot Asquith
When I was eight, I would look at the cover of the 'Ghost Rider' comic book in my little home in Long Beach, California, and I couldn't get my head around how something that scary could also be good. To me it was my first philosophical awakening - 'How is this possible, this duality?' ~ Nicolas Cage
Long Book quotes by Nicolas Cage
When a first date really works, it works like this: You feel the thrill of opening to the first page of a book. And you know -instinctively, you know- it's going to be a very long book. ~ David Levithan
Long Book quotes by David Levithan
A book may be compared to your neighbour: if it be good, it cannot last too long; if bad, you cannot get rid of it too early ~ Rupert Brooke
Long Book quotes by Rupert Brooke
Every book for me is a chapter in the long book which will finally be closed on the day of my death. ~ Peter Ackroyd
Long Book quotes by Peter Ackroyd
In a way, the main fault of all books is that they are too long. ~ Luc De Clapiers
Long Book quotes by Luc De Clapiers
Everybody thinks that an important book has to be a big, long book. ~ Ta-Nehisi Coates
Long Book quotes by Ta-Nehisi Coates
The central theme of Anna Karenina," he said, "is that a rural life of moral simplicity, despite its monotony, is the preferable personal narrative to a daring life of impulsive passion, which only leads to tragedy."
"That is a very long theme," the scout said.
"It's a very long book," Klaus replied.
[ ... ]
"Or maybe a daring life of impulsive passion leads to something else," the scout said, and in some cases this mysterious person was right. A daring life of impulsive passion is an expression which refers to people who follow what is in their hearts, and like people who prefer to follow their head, or follow a mysterious man in a dark blue raincoat, people who lead a daring life of impulsive passion end up doing all sorts of things. ~ Lemony Snicket
Long Book quotes by Lemony Snicket
As long as we have books, we are not alone. ~ Laura Bush
Long Book quotes by Laura Bush
As long as a film stays unmade, the book is entirely yours, it belongs to the writer. As soon as you make it into a film, suddenly more people see it than have ever read the book. ~ Iain Banks
Long Book quotes by Iain Banks
Make no mistake, those who write long books have nothing to say.
Of course those who write short books have even less to say. ~ Mark Z. Danielewski
Long Book quotes by Mark Z. Danielewski
A book, I was taught long ago in English class, is a living and breathing document that grows richer with each new reading. ~ Malcolm Gladwell
Long Book quotes by Malcolm Gladwell
One always tends to overpraise a long book because one has got through it ~ E.M.Foster
Long Book quotes by E.M.Foster
When a long book succeeds, the writer and reader are not just having an affair; they are married. ~ Stephen King
Long Book quotes by Stephen King
I rarely read or buy a book because of a review. ~ Jim Harrison
Long Book quotes by Jim Harrison
Besides, those whose suffering is due to love are, as we say of certain invalids, their own physicians. As consolation can come to them only from the person who is the cause of their grief, and as their grief is an emanation from that person, it is there, in their grief itself, that they must in the end find a remedy: which it will disclose to them at a given moment, for as long as they turn it over in their minds this grief will continue to show them fresh aspects of the loved, the regretted creature, at one moment so intensely hateful that one has no longer the slightest desire to see her, since before finding enjoyment in her company one would have first to make her suffer, at another so pleasant that the pleasantness in which one has invested her one adds to her own stock of good qualities and finds in it a fresh reason for hope. ~ Marcel Proust
Long Book quotes by Marcel Proust
Neurotypical people seem to think and feel that it's okay to be rigid as long as their ideas are shared by enough people. ~ Temple Grandin
Long Book quotes by Temple Grandin
I had done something wrong. I shouldn't have shown him. But he had known, hadn't he? What had I done? I retreated quickly down the aisle, pushing my way through the double doors into the porch, where I swiped one of my eyes dry. For a long moment I stood in the dim room, looking blankly at the flyers for bake sales and Bible studies on the noticeboard.
Then I heard him shout, "Damn you! Why?"
I looked through the clear glass of the porch doors to see if he spoke to some barely seen faerie. But to my eyes, there was no one there but Luke and God. ~ Maggie Stiefvater
Long Book quotes by Maggie Stiefvater
It's basically an act of faith, hoping that a small idea will unspool into a bigger whole. Sometimes, in fact often, it doesn't and it just runs out of steam. The hope for me is that it will snowball. the best way to put it is that I have no particular method or technique per se, other than this: I plan nothing, I outline nothing, I start with an idea or an image or a line of dialogue and see where it leads me. Because I never know what the next page will contain, let alone the end of the book, I am perpetually surprised by the course that my characters take. The writing process is as full of surprises and twists for me as the reading experience is for my readers. I love the spontaneity of writing this way, the possibilities left open, the feeling that I am not constrained or committed to any given path. Every day, I am surprised by something. It may not be the most efficient way of writing, but it has served me well thus far. ~ Khaled Hosseini
Long Book quotes by Khaled Hosseini
We wanted to produce a newspaper which would put (1) class and (2) violence back at the top of the anarchist agenda. It would be big and tabloid brash, lots of short articles and graphics, no long boring shit. It would be fucking funny as fucking fuck. ~ Ian Bone
Long Book quotes by Ian  Bone
Snooki is a bestselling author? Huh? What? I don't know if I should dumb down my book, shoot myself or find a publisher who'll settle for a rough draft written on a Pop-Tart and a coconut lotion handie.. ~ Geoffrey Hill
Long Book quotes by Geoffrey Hill
For $425 you can buy pills containing real gold that make your poop sparkle. How have I lived this long without sparkly poop? ~ Michael Makai
Long Book quotes by Michael Makai
As Mark Twain cuttingly remarked, if you removed all occurrences of the phrase 'And it came to pass', the Book of Mormon would be reduced to a pamphlet. ~ Richard Dawkins
Long Book quotes by Richard Dawkins
Yeah, I picked up a book and I read. You can get something out of a book, even a bad book ... but a cunt, it's just sheer loss of time ... ~ Henry Miller
Long Book quotes by Henry Miller
Altruism declares that any action taken for the benefit of others is good, and any action taken for one's own benefit is evil. Thus the beneficiary of an action is the only criterion of moral value - and so long as that beneficiary is anybody other than oneself, anything goes. ~ Ayn Rand
Long Book quotes by Ayn Rand
I reckon the gods laugh many a time to hear us, but what matters so long as we remember that we're only men and don't take to fancying that we're gods ourselves, really, knowing good and evil. ~ L.M. Montgomery
Long Book quotes by L.M. Montgomery
To unwind after training, I love to have a long hot soak in the bath, then veg out on the sofa with a box set. I'm a box-set junkie! I absolutely love 'Grey's Anatomy.' ~ Jessica Ennis
Long Book quotes by Jessica Ennis
You retain your health only so long as you are willing to forgive your stresses, shrug off adversity and adapt to new situations. Resistance to change always impedes the workings of your immunity. An old Sanskrit proverb tells us kshama chajanani: the essence of motherly love is forgiveness. Damage to the ahamkara-mother predisposes us to disease by weakening our innate forgiveness. ~ Robert E. Svoboda
Long Book quotes by Robert E. Svoboda
There is no reason why the same man should like the same books at eighteen and at forty-eight ~ Ezra Pound
Long Book quotes by Ezra Pound
One day I shall write a little book of conduct myself, and I shall call it Social Problems of the Unsociable. And the root problem, beneath a hundred varying manifestions, is How to Escape. How to escape, that is, at those times, be they few or frequent, when you want to keep yourself to yourself. ~ Rose Macaulay
Long Book quotes by Rose Macaulay
It's a very weird job to have as a musician, because you spend long periods of time alone and then you have to go work with people for a long period of time and present your music after you've been making it by yourself. It's a very drastic phase. ~ Angel Deradoorian
Long Book quotes by Angel Deradoorian
I would love to see a sequel to 'The Rocketeer.' I'd love to see that! I don't know that I would be in it. I may be a little long in the tooth to play 'The Rocketeer.' But I would love to be a part of that in some form or fashion. ~ Billy Campbell
Long Book quotes by Billy Campbell
Maybe we're like the cherry blossom, Rune. Like shooting stars. Maybe we loved too much too young and burned so bright that we had to fade out." She pointed behind us, to the blossom grove. "Extreme beauty, quick death. We had this love long enough to teach us a lesson. To show us how capable of love we truly are. ~ Tillie Cole
Long Book quotes by Tillie Cole
Antibiotics, viral tabs, painkillers, sterilisation spray," Kasyanov said. "Other stuff. Bandages, medicines, contraceptives.
Hoop raised an eyebrow.
"Hey. Forever is a long time. ~ Tim Lebbon
Long Book quotes by Tim Lebbon
Despite his reputation as one of America's foremost "serious" filmmakers, Oliver Stone's name under the "director" caption does not guarantee a good movie. I learned that lesson while enduring the seemingly-endless tedium of The Doors , and was reminded of it during some of the long, drawn-out portions of JFK . However, nothing that Stone has directed or misdirected prepared me for the grotesque mess that is Natural Born Killers . ~ James Berardinelli
Long Book quotes by James Berardinelli
I am an inveterate homemaker, it is at once my pleasure, my recreation, and my handicap. Were I a man, my books would have been written in leisure, protected by a wife and a secretary and various household officials. As it is, being a woman, my work has had to be done between bouts of homemaking. ~ Pearl S. Buck
Long Book quotes by Pearl S. Buck
I turn back to see that he is holding out the book, offering it to me. My eyes make contact with the book at first and then travel up his very muscular, very athletic arm, coming to rest on the utterly beautiful tattoo that is wrapped around it. I can't see the head of the angel, but the detail of its wings as they sheathe his bicep and the sword it holds within its grasp are simply stunning. ~ A.J. Walters
Long Book quotes by A.J. Walters
She couldn't concentrate enough to lose herself in a book - her lifelong method of escape. ~ Tami Hoag
Long Book quotes by Tami Hoag
Filmmakers don't work for posterity. We create with celluloid and chemical pigments that don't last very long. They fade away. In 200 years there will be nothing left of our work but dust. ~ Louis Malle
Long Book quotes by Louis Malle
He said everyone had a book, or a writer, that was the key to their life ~ Margot Livesey
Long Book quotes by Margot Livesey
As long as you try your best, that is all that matters. You don't have to be the fastest runner or top of the class. ~ Penny Lancaster
Long Book quotes by Penny Lancaster
But there's also the fact that in my experience most of my readers are first and foremost plain old-fashioned readers. Good readers. They're not looking for cozy brand-name output and that means I don't have to give it to 'em. They're not lazy and have little patience with pre-fab beach-bag books or Oprah's opine du jour. They're questers.
They know that every now and then you're gonna get lucky and pure gold like King and Straub's Black House will simply drop into your lap at the local supermarket but after that, if your bent is horror and suspense fiction, you're gonna have to get your hands dirty and root around for more. Find a Ramsey Campbell or an Edward Lee. They expect diversity and search it out. They want what all good readers want - to be taken somewhere in a book or a story that's really worth visiting for a while. Maybe even worth thinking about after.
If that place happens to scare the hell out of you all the better. ~ Jack Ketchum
Long Book quotes by Jack Ketchum
We have a lot of books in our house. They are our primary decorative motif-books in piles and on the coffee table, framed book covers, books sorted into stacks on every available surface, and of course books on shelves along most walls. Besides the visible books, there are books waiting in the wings, the basement books, the garage books, the storage locker books ... They function as furniture, they prop up sagging fixtures and disguised by quilts function as tables ... I can't imagine a home without an overflow of books. The point of books is to have way too many but to always feel you never have enough, or the right one at the right moment, but then sometimes to find you'd longed to fall asleep reading the Aspern Papers, and there it is. ~ Louise Erdrich
Long Book quotes by Louise Erdrich
If it's well written, even an obscene book cannot be immoral.
John McGahern, Galway, October 6th 2003. Acclaimed as the most important Irish novellist since James Joyce. ~ John McGahern
Long Book quotes by John McGahern
My book collection is primarily in America, since that's where I've lived most of my life. ~ Terri Windling
Long Book quotes by Terri Windling
Hair Growth Want long and luscious hair? We all know how long it can take to grow hair so here is a spell/potion to help quicken up the process. You will need: 1 clove of garlic 1 onion A pair of scissors Directions: On the night of a full moon crush up one garlic clove and one onion until it is of paste like consistency. Cut a small chunk of your hair and cover it in the garlic and onion mixture. Find a willow tree and bury the hair beside it. Each night visualize the moon shining down on the place where you buried your hair. Imagine the piece of hair growing longer and longer. Do the above visualization each night until your hair reaches your desired length. ~ Black Cat Press
Long Book quotes by Black Cat Press
People had been so attached to the Diane [Cheers] character that audiences and producers found it difficult to think of me in any other terms. It took some time before people would consider me for other parts. ~ Shelley Long
Long Book quotes by Shelley Long
I read a book called 'The Tao of Physics' by Fritjof Capra that pointed out the parallels between quantum physics and eastern mysticism. I started to feel there was more to reality than conventional science allowed for and some interesting ideas that it hadn't got round to investigating, such as altered states of consciousness. ~ Brian Josephson
Long Book quotes by Brian Josephson
Her long beautiful red hair wasn't what got me to stare. It was her beautiful heart that I heard beating when I thought no one was there. Her hugs wasn't what got me to stay, it was the thought of me being alone again and I was afraid. She completes me more than she knows. I admire her more than I show, they say true love is hard to find but, I don't believe that because once I saw her in my dreams, I knew she was mines. I've waited for this day for so long and she never knew it, I plan to give her the world. Lord please don't let me blow it. ~ N.I.
Long Book quotes by N.I.
It's not a crime to offend others; in fact, it's pretty much a natural consequence of having diverse cultures. We live in a world full of people with different backgrounds, interests, and values, and we must learn to accept that there will be clashes. As long as the differences do no harm, we should back off and accept them ~ P.Z. Myers
Long Book quotes by P.Z. Myers
We push time from us, and we wish him back; * * * * * * Life we think long and short; death seek and shun. ~ Edward Young
Long Book quotes by Edward Young
Anger is like flowing water; there's nothing wrong with it as long as you let it flow. Hate is like stagnant water; anger that you denied yourself the freedom to feel, the freedom to flow; water that you gathered in one place and left to forget. Stagnant water becomes dirty, stinky, disease-ridden, poisonous, deadly; that is your hate. On flowing water travels little paper boats; paper boats of forgiveness. Allow yourself to feel anger, allow your waters to flow, along with all the paper boats of forgiveness. Be human. ~ C. JoyBell C.
Long Book quotes by C. JoyBell C.
Of course to one so modern as I am, `Enfant de mon siècle,' merely to look at the world will be always lovely. I tremble with pleasure when I think that on the very day of my leaving prison both the laburnum and the lilac will be blooming in the gardens, and that I shall see the wind stir into restless beauty the swaying gold of the one, and make the other toss the pale purple of its plumes, so that all the air shall be Arabia for me. Linnaeus fell on his knees and wept for joy when he saw for the first time the long heath of some English upland made yellow with the tawny aromatic brooms of the common furze; and I know that for me, to whom flowers are part of desire, there are tears waiting in the petals of some rose. It has always been so with me from my boyhood. There is not a single colour hidden away in the chalice of a flower, or the curve of a shell, to which, by some subtle sympathy with the very soul of things, my nature does not answer. Like Gautier, I have always been one of those 'pour qui le monde visible existe. ~ Oscar Wilde
Long Book quotes by Oscar Wilde
In the long term, a robust health IT network will support personalized treatment that adheres to proven best practices, and adapts to your personal health circumstances. The time will come when, whatever illness you may have, for your body type and health history, there will 'be an app for that' to keep you on your best path to wellness. ~ Sheldon Whitehouse
Long Book quotes by Sheldon Whitehouse
...an infinitely blank book and the rest of time. ~ Jonathan Safran Foer
Long Book quotes by Jonathan Safran Foer
Libraries will get you through times of no money better than money will get you through times of no libraries. ~ Anne Herbert
Long Book quotes by Anne Herbert
I find my anger ebbing away, and I'm lost in muffled grief again, this time not just for Tris, but for Uriah, whose smile is burned into my memory. My friend's brother, and then my friend, too, though not for long enough to let his humor work its way into me, not for long enough. ~ Veronica Roth
Long Book quotes by Veronica Roth
Just think about it: God wanted to communicate with you in the twenty-first century -and he wrote His message in a book. ~ Howard G. Hendricks
Long Book quotes by Howard G. Hendricks
Long hours spent checking off a to-do list and ending the day with a full trash can and a clean desk are not virtuous and have nothing to do with success. Instead of a to-do list, you need a success list - a list that is purposefully created around extraordinary results.
To-do lists tend to be long; success lists are short. One pulls you in all directions; the other aims you in a specific direction. One is a disorganized directory and the other is an organized directive. If a list isn't built around success, then that's not where it takes you. If your to-do list contains everything, then it's probably taking you everywhere but where you really want to go. ~ Gary Keller
Long Book quotes by Gary Keller
The FUTURE of this world has long been DECLARED; the final outcome between GOOD and evil is already KNOWN. There is absolutely no question as to who WINS because the VICTORY has already been posted on the SCOREBOARD. The only really strange thing is all of this is that we are still down here on the FIELD trying to decide which TEAM'S JERSEY we want to wear! ~ Jeffrey R. Holland
Long Book quotes by Jeffrey R. Holland
For as long as he could remember he had never ceased to wonder why, having arms and legs like everyone else, and a language and a way of life common to all, one could be different from the others, liked only by few and, moreover, loved by no one. ~ Boris Pasternak
Long Book quotes by Boris Pasternak
