To have the translator be a figure in the book's presentation seems like a big thing, especially for a book that's really popular. ~ Ann Goldstein
Popular Book quotes by Ann Goldstein
I can't imagine Hunger Games, even with its very popular books, being nearly a success that it's been without Jen Lawrence being the perfect person to play that role - a very modern celebrity, a very down-to-earth, accessible, celebrity. ~ Nina Jacobson
Popular Book quotes by Nina Jacobson
Fritz Lang's 1927 film Metropolis is commonly regarded as one of the classics of cinema, and at the time it was probably the most expensive film ever made. Only in light of recent restoration work, though, can we see how explicitly it draws on apocalyptic themes in its prophetic depiction of modern society. Partly, Metropolis reflects the ideas of Oswald Spengler, whose sensationally popular book The Decline of the West appeared in 1918. Spengler presented nightmare forecasts of the vast megalopolis, ruled by the superrich, with politics reduced to demagoguery and Caesarism, and religion marked by strange oriental cults. Lang borrowed that model but added explicit references to the Bible, and particularly Revelation. In the future world of Metropolis, the ruling classes dwell in their own Tower of Babel, while the industrial working class is literally enslaved to Moloch. ~ Philip Jenkins
Popular Book quotes by Philip Jenkins
Like everywhere else in the world, the book stores of Britain are struggling with being pushed out of the market by online booksellers. The most popular book store chain in the UK is Waterstones. They are closing locations and cutting back as they lost business, but they aren't losing business as fast and as hard as the book stores in the US. There is one reason for this: sales. If you go into a book store in the UK, you will be greeted by tables covered with bestsellers and crime novels and other popular books, stacked high with signs saying "3 for £10". Take heed, American booksellers: people buy more things when you lower the price sometimes. People love a special offer. ~ Alana Muir
Popular Book quotes by Alana Muir
There's always been a need for horror fiction, though
ghost stories have been a staple of every human society since the beginning of recorded literature
and while commercially the field may have its ups and downs, it will never go away. Hell, look at the Bible: gods, devils, ghosts, witches, giants, resurrections. That's one big horror story. And it's the most popular book on the planet. ~ Bentley Little
Popular Book quotes by Bentley Little
I believe that any Christian who is qualified to write a good popular book on any
science may do much more by that than by any direct apologetic work…. We can
make people often attend to the Christian point of view for half an hour or so; but
the moment they have gone away from our lecture or laid down our article, they
are plunged back into a world where the opposite position is taken for granted….
What we want is not more little books about Christianity, but more little books by
Christians on other subjects - with their Christianity latent. You can see this most
easily if you look at it the other way around. Our faith is not very likely to be
shaken by any book on Hinduism. But if whenever we read an elementary book
on Geology, Botany, Politics, or Astronomy, we found that its implications were
Hindu, that would shake us. It is not the books written in direct defense of
Materialism that make the modern man a materialist; it is the materialistic
assumptions in all the other books. In the same way, it is not books on
Christianity that will really trouble him. But he would be troubled if, whenever he
wanted a cheap popular introduction to some science, the best work on the
market was always by a Christian. ~ C.S. Lewis
Popular Book quotes by C.S. Lewis
'Snow' is my most popular book in the United States. But in Turkey, it was not as popular as 'My Name is Red,' or even 'The Museum of Innocence,' because the secular leaders didn't want this bourgeois Orhan trying to understand these head-scarf girls. ~ Orhan Pamuk
Popular Book quotes by Orhan Pamuk
'The Da Vinci Code' is the most popular book of our times. ~ Ian McKellen
Popular Book quotes by Ian McKellen
My first popular book, 'A Brief History of Time,' aroused a great deal of interest, but many found it difficult to understand. ~ Stephen Hawking
Popular Book quotes by Stephen Hawking
Because I was in the business of translating the 'X-Men' from the very successful comics, and taking the most popular book of the 20th century in 'The Lord of the Rings,' and making it into three movies, I hope people realize I wouldn't get involved in anything I didn't think was really going to be worth their while. ~ Ian McKellen
Popular Book quotes by Ian McKellen
The popular books are the novels, dealing with life under all possible conditions, and they are widely read not only because they are entertaining, but also because they in a measure satisfy an unformulated belief that to see farther, to know all sorts of men, in an indefinite way, is a preparation for better social adjustment
for the remedying of social ills. ~ Jane Addams
Popular Book quotes by Jane Addams
In popular books and articles, information technology writer Carr has worried over the ways that algorithms like those employed by Google are reshaping the ways we think. ~ Nicholas G. Carr
Popular Book quotes by Nicholas G. Carr
I'm scared. I'm excited. I'm ready for whatever happens but I think that fame is what comes along with the territory when you open yourself up and become this story, this book for anyone to read. ~ Katy Perry
Popular Book quotes by Katy Perry
After all, I believe it is the style of thought entirely, and the style of expression, which makes the difference in books. ~ Henry David Thoreau
Popular Book quotes by Henry David Thoreau
At night his most frequent recurring dream was of doing The Times crossword puzzle; his most disagreeable that he was reading a tedious book aloud to his family. ~ Evelyn Waugh
Popular Book quotes by Evelyn Waugh
She's got an indiscreet voice,' I remarked. 'It's full of - - ' I hesitated. 'Her voice is full of money,' he said suddenly. ~ F. Scott Fitzgerald
Popular Book quotes by F. Scott Fitzgerald
I never studied science or physics at school, and yet when I read complex books on quantum physics I understood them perfectly because I wanted to understand them. The study of quantum physics helped me to have a deeper understanding of the Secret, on an energetic level, ~ Rhonda Byrne
Popular Book quotes by Rhonda Byrne
Dear Mia,
What can I say? I don't know all that much about romance novels, but I think you must be the Stephen King of the genre. Your book is hot. Thanks for letting me read it. Anyone who doesn't want to publish it is a fool.
Anyway, since I know it's your birthday, and I also know you never remember to back anything up, here's a little something I made for you. It would be a shame if Ransom My Heart got lost before it ever saw the light of day because your hard drive crashed. See you tonight.
Love,
Michael ~ Meg Cabot
Popular Book quotes by Meg Cabot
The holy book is implanted in the hearts and minds of all the Muslims. Humiliation of the holy book represents the humiliation of our people. ~ Hamid Karzai
Popular Book quotes by Hamid Karzai
We inculcate in our children the sensibilities of raccoons, a fascination with shiny objects and an appetite for garbage, and then carp about 'the texting generation' as if thirteen- and fourteen-year-olds who couldn't boil an egg are capable of creating a culture. They grow on what we feed them. It has never been otherwise. The only thing that changes is the food. ~ Garret Keizer
Popular Book quotes by Garret Keizer
A good book ought to bring out lots of different responses from those that read it - none of them pre-planned, and all of them very personal. Whatever they take away from the reading of the book is valuable. ~ Sharon Draper
Popular Book quotes by Sharon Draper
I totally ignore the sheer number of bookshelves lining the far wall, even though I'm itching to explore them, because, well, as everyone knows, if the way to a man's heart is through his stomach, the way to a girl's is through a good book. ~ Julie Johnson
Popular Book quotes by Julie Johnson
He kept himself in line with popular opinion, which meant popular prejudice. ~ John Howard Griffin
Popular Book quotes by John Howard Griffin
In fact, my experiences as I was writing the 3:16 book weren't that different from writing computer books, although I wasn't using integral signs as much. ~ Donald Ervin Knuth
Popular Book quotes by Donald Ervin Knuth
{Stockton, a playwright who performed plays about Robert Ingersoll, gives the four moments in Ingersoll's life that shaped him, first being the death of his father, who was a reverend}

Despite their opposing religious views, the old revivalist on his deathbed asked Bob to read to him from the black book clutched to his chest. Bob relented, took the book, and was surprised to discover that it wasn't the Bible. It was Plato describing the noble death of the pagan Socrates: a moving gesture of reconciliation between father and son in parting. The second event was Bob's painful realization that his outspoken agnosticism not only invalidated his own political career but ended his brother Ebon's career in Congress, as well. Third was the exquisite anguish of seeing his supportive wife Eva and his young daughters made to suffer for his right to speak his own mind. And fourth was the dramatic tension of having to walk out alone on public stages, in a glaring spotlight, time after time with death threats jammed in his tuxedo pocket informing him that some armed bigot in that night's audience would see to it that he didn't leave the stage alive. ~ Richard F. Stockton
Popular Book quotes by Richard F. Stockton
A book is maybe about 350 pages, and the prose allows for readers to get a glimpse into the internal lives of the characters. A screenplay is 120 pages, and it's all dialogue and action. The pacing of films is different, the structure is often different, and the internal lives of the characters must come across through the acting. Movies are just a different experience than reading - so it just depends on what an individual prefers. ~ Nicholas Sparks
Popular Book quotes by Nicholas Sparks
The book, called the Bible, is filled with passages equally horrible, unjust and atrocious. This is the book to be read in schools in order to make our children loving, kind and gentle! This is the book they wish to be recognized in our Constitution as the source of all authority and justice! ~ Robert Green Ingersoll
Popular Book quotes by Robert Green Ingersoll
At the moment, the extremists have significant financial popular and theological backing in the Middle East. And that is an enduring phenomenon. And it's one that is going to require a long, ideological war to win. ~ Chuck Todd
Popular Book quotes by Chuck Todd
Often something looks, or is felt to look, "better" in a photograph. Indeed, it is one of the functions of photography to improve the normal appearance of things. (Hence, one is always disappointed by a photograph that is not flattering.) ~ Susan Sontag
Popular Book quotes by Susan Sontag
I told Hassan I wanted to matter
like, be remembered. And he said, "famous is the new popular." Maybe he's right, and maybe I just want to be famous. ~ John Green
Popular Book quotes by John Green
If your creed and Scripture do not agree, cut your creed to pieces, but make it agree with this book. ~ Charles Spurgeon
Popular Book quotes by Charles Spurgeon
How do you know that? You couldn't have finished the book."
"I skipped to the end."
"You..." He closed his eyes as he drank more wine. "Some things are unforgiveable."
--Roarke, Dallas, Roarke ~ J.D. Robb
Popular Book quotes by J.D. Robb
My purpose is to create a mirror for the reader to see themselves, to create a light for people to see themselves in the characters, pictures, and stories. So they resonate. ~ Kadir Nelson
Popular Book quotes by Kadir Nelson
Although there appears to be a deep desire to approach dating, marriage, and sex in a way that pleases God, there nevertheless seems to be a profound lack of wisdom and practical know-how. There is a sizable gap between our understanding of the gospel and our knowledge of the Scriptures on one hand and our application of that knowledge on the other. The sheer amount of confusion, heartbreak, and fear that I have witnessed at The Village Church in regard to romantic relationships and sex provides my primary motivation for writing this book. ~ Matt Chandler
Popular Book quotes by Matt Chandler
To love someone properly probably means that you won't be very popular. Pure love, loving the way it was intended, is unfortunately a foreign concept to many. Love is messy. Love will involve hardship, demand patience, require forgiveness, test maturity, strain friendship, challenge priorities, refine character, ignite the heart and unleash the soul. Love is not something you sing about, it's the reason you sing. Love is not something you write about, it's the reason you write. Love is not something you live to find, it's the reason that you are alive. ~ Mark Hart
Popular Book quotes by Mark Hart
Quite often somebody will say, 'What year do your books take place?' and the only answer I can give is, in childhood. ~ Beverly Cleary
Popular Book quotes by Beverly Cleary
Before starting work on this book, we had to ask ourselves a question what is science fiction? Seemingly simple, but in reality the answer was hard to formulate. This is the definition we settled upon:
Science fiction is a member of a group of fictional genres whose narrative drive depends upon events, technologies, societies, etc. that are impossible, unreal, or that are depicted as occurring at some time in the future, the past or in a world of secondary creation. These attributes vary widely in terms of actuality, likelihood, possibility and in the intent with which they are employed by the creator. The fundamental difference between science fiction and the other "fantastical genres" of fantasy and horror is this: the basis for the fiction is one of rationality. The sciences this rationality generates can be speculative, largely erroneous, or even impossible, but explanations are, nevertheless, generated through a materialistic worldview. The supernatural is not invoked. ~ Stephen Baxter
Popular Book quotes by Stephen Baxter
I like most of the places I've been to, but I've never really wanted to go to Japan, simply because I don't really like eating fish, and I know that's very popular out there in Africa, but the whole thing just doesn't appeal to me. ~ Britney Spears
Popular Book quotes by Britney Spears
There are 3 or 4 important things in life: Books, Friends, Women ... and Messi ~ Antonio Lobo Antunes
Popular Book quotes by Antonio Lobo Antunes
In baseball, democracy shines its clearest. The only race that matters is the race to the bag. The creed is the rule book. And color, merely something to distinguish one team's uniform from another's. ~ Ernie Harwell
Popular Book quotes by Ernie Harwell
You is smart, you is kind and you is important. From the book/movie "The Help ~ Kathryn Stockett
Popular Book quotes by Kathryn Stockett
Those of us who are condemned as radicals, idealists, and dreamers call for basic reforms that, if enacted, would make peaceful reform possible. But corporate capitalists, now unchecked by state power and dismissive of the popular will, do not see the fires they are igniting. ~ Chris Hedges
Popular Book quotes by Chris Hedges
When I feel that I'm going to write a detective story, I buy a five pound box of chocolates and a ream of paper. When the candy is all gone and the paper all used up, I know that the book is long enough. ~ Carolyn Wells
Popular Book quotes by Carolyn Wells
I am always for getting a boy forward in his learning, for that is sure good. I would let him at first read any English book which happens to engage his attention; because you have done a great deal when you have brought him to have entertainment from a book. He'll get better books afterwards. ~ Samuel Johnson
Popular Book quotes by Samuel Johnson
It's tempting to start each sentence with an apology or disclaimer. To preface everything with "In my life I've found" so that people can't yell at me for being wrong (I often am) or misinformed (sure) or overly emotional (HOW DARE YOU). ... That's one of the frightening things about writing a book that no one ever tells you. You have to pin down your thoughts and opinions and then they exist on a page, ungrowing, forever. ~ Jenny Lawson
Popular Book quotes by Jenny  Lawson
So long as a novelist works selfishly for the pleasure of creating character and situation corresponding to his own illusions, ideals and intuitions, he will always produce something worth while and natural. Directly he takes himself too seriously and begins for the alleged benefit of humanity an elaborate dissection of complexes, he evolves a book that is more ridiculous and tiresome than the most conventional cold cream girl novel of yesterday. ~ Willa Cather
Popular Book quotes by Willa Cather
Then you'll remember your life as a book of candles, each page read by the light of its own burning. ~ Li-Young Lee
Popular Book quotes by Li-Young Lee
District 12: Where you can starve to death in safety. ~ Suzanne Collins
Popular Book quotes by Suzanne Collins
If he can give his readers no reason why they should read his book, except that the events happened to him, it is not a valid book. ~ Ayn Rand
Popular Book quotes by Ayn Rand
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
Popular Book quotes by Chad Harbach
So, it's the ever popular Firstborn Child of Doom prophecy,huh, ice-boy? How very cliche. Why can't it ever be the third nephew twice removed who's fated to destroy the worls?
Iron Prophecy: The Iron Fey~ Puck ~ Julie Kagawa
Popular Book quotes by Julie Kagawa
Literature simply becomes richer after you've been fired, rejected, stranded, or had to change a few midnight diapers. ~ Christian Bauman
Popular Book quotes by Christian Bauman
You don't have to be popular with the players to be a good manager or coach. ~ Francis Lee
Popular Book quotes by Francis Lee
I love the drive from York to Whitby over the moors - one of the great journeys, in my book. ~ Penelope Wilton
Popular Book quotes by Penelope Wilton
A good writer is not, per se, a good book critic. No more so than a good drunk is automatically a good bartender. ~ Jim Bishop
Popular Book quotes by Jim Bishop
To say it once more: today I find it an impossible book: I consider it badly written, ponderous, embarrassing, image-mad and image-confused, sentimental, in places saccharine to the point of effeminacy, uneven in tempo, without the will to logical cleanliness, very convinced and therefore disdainful of proof, mistrustful even of the propriety of proof, a book for initiates, "music" for those dedicated to music, those who are closely related to begin with on the basis of common and rare aesthetic experiences, "music" meant as a sign of recognition for close relatives in artibus - an arrogant and rhapsodic book that sought to exclude right from the beginning the profanum vulgus of "the educated" even more than "the mass" or "folk. ~ Friedrich Nietzsche
Popular Book quotes by Friedrich Nietzsche
The judiciary must not take on the coloration of whatever may be popular at the moment. We are guardian of rights, and we have to tell people things they often do not like to hear. ~ Rose Bird
Popular Book quotes by Rose Bird
If, as the popular saying goes, the definition of insanity is doing the same thing over and over and expecting a different result, the people who run our public schools fit that description. ~ Newt Gingrich
Popular Book quotes by Newt Gingrich
Anytime you take a book and make it into a movie, you're going to have people who have their version of it in their minds and whatnot. You can't please everybody. ~ Josh Hutcherson
Popular Book quotes by Josh Hutcherson
It didn't seem to matter that Reagan made his heartfelt endorsements of traditional family values despite being divorced and so alienated from his own children that one of them would write a book about what a rotten father he had been; by the same token, the president's failure to have made regular or even occasional visits to church hardly dimmed his appeal for the resurgent religious right ~ Douglas Brinkley
Popular Book quotes by Douglas Brinkley
When it comes to building wealth, the most powerful force you have on your side is time. As the days and years pass, the opportunity to build wealth by leveraging time slowly dwindles. The idea for this book came from the realization that often times kids start working their first job at sixteen, likely just a minimum wage, or near-minimum wage, job, but they haven't been taught how to accumulate wealth. ~ Bill Edgar
