If a book can save - redeem us from the mediocrity of the mundane - surely, there must be a God. ~ Chila Woychik
Wonder Of Books quotes by Chila Woychik
Respected Teacher,

My son will have to learn that all men are not just, all men are not true.

But teach him also that for ever scoundrel there is a hero; that for every selfish politician, there is a dedicated leader. Teach him that for every enemy there is a friend.

It will take time, I know; but teach him, if you can, that a dollar earned is far more valuable than five found.

Teach him to learn to lose and also to enjoy winning.

Steer him away from envy, if you can.

Teach him the secret of quite laughter. Let him learn early that the bullies are the easiest to tick.

Teach him, if you can, the wonder of books... but also give him quiet time to ponder over the eternal mystery of birds in the sky, bees in the sun, and flowers on a green hill.

In school teach him it is far more honorable to fail than to cheat.

Teach him to have faith in his own ideas, even if every one tells him they are wrong.

Teach him to be gentle with gentle people and tough with the tough.

Try to give my son the strength not to follow the crowd when every one is getting on the bandwagon.

Teach him to listen to all men but teach him also to filter all he hears on a screen of truth and take only the good that comes through.

Teach him, if you can, how to laugh when he is sad. Teach him there is no shame in tears. Teach him to scoff at cynics and to beware of too much ~ Abraham Lincoln
Wonder Of Books quotes by Abraham Lincoln
Teach him, if you can, the wonder of books ... But also give him quiet time to ponder the eternal mystery of birds in the sky, bees in the sun, and the flowers on a green hillside, ~ Malala Yousafzai
Wonder Of Books quotes by Malala Yousafzai
Outside his office my father had a framed copy of a letter written by Abraham Lincoln to his son's teacher, translated into Pashto. It is a very beautiful letter, full of good advice. "Teach him, if you can, the wonder of books ... But also give him quiet time to ponder the eternal mystery of birds in the sky, bees in the sun, and the flowers on a green hillside," it says. "Teach him it is far more honorable to fail than to cheat. ~ Malala Yousafzai
Wonder Of Books quotes by Malala Yousafzai
If you had a front row seat at the Renaissance, you would have seen Machiavelli come by plotting, and you would have seen murders in the streets, you would have seen violence, you have seen people burning books and it would have looked like the world was a horrible place, but that's where all these incredible stuff we're still living with comes out of. ~ Juan Enriquez
Wonder Of Books quotes by Juan Enriquez
If anything, I feel a bit of pressure to write about less disenfranchised people, because I'd probably sell more books that way and would've already had some hot property that I could've sold to Hollywood. ~ Adrian Tomine
Wonder Of Books quotes by Adrian Tomine
Our popular economics writers, however, are not in the business of giving their readers a ringside seat on the research action; with no exception I can think of, they use their books to do an end run around the normal structure of scholarship, to preach ideas that few serious economists share. Often, these ideas are not just at odds with the professional consensus; they are demonstrably wrong, and sometimes terminally silly. But they sound good to the unwary reader. ~ Paul Krugman
Wonder Of Books quotes by Paul Krugman
Libraries really are wonderful. They're better than bookshops, even. I mean bookshops make a profit on selling you books, but libraries just sit there lending you books quietly out of the goodness of their hearts. ~ Jo Walton
Wonder Of Books quotes by Jo Walton
My mother says that reading is thinking,' Sofia said. 'Not that we read and then we think, but rather that we think something and then we read it in a book as if it were written by us, although it's not written by us. Rather, someone in another country, in another place, in the past, writes it like a thought that hasn't been thought yet, until, by chance, always by chance, we find the book that clearly expresses what had been, confusingly, not yet thought by us. Not every book, of course, but certain books are destined for us, certain books seem like objects of our own thoughts. A book for each one of us. To find it, there must be a series of accidentally interrelated events, until in the end you see the light you're looking for, without even knowing you were looking for it… ~ Ricardo Piglia
Wonder Of Books quotes by Ricardo Piglia
I want to see books taken out of historical time and placed into a different timeline, such as evolutionary or geological time, as a means of putting the human experience in context. ~ Douglas Coupland
Wonder Of Books quotes by Douglas Coupland
The fear of being alone is a great obstacle to attracting the relationship that is right for you. ~ Charles F. Glassman
Wonder Of Books quotes by Charles F. Glassman
A series of books, dilapidated and faded, sit bundled together. Most of the bindings are separating from the yellowed pages, but each is at home in its battered state. Their wrinkled pages and discolored skin tell not of old age, but of a good life. These books, unlike so many others, were not just read, but revisited, loved, and experienced. ~ Kelseyleigh Reber
Wonder Of Books quotes by Kelseyleigh Reber
We had been everywhere. We had really seen nothing. And I catch myself thinking today that our long journey had only defiled with a sinuous trail of slime the lovely, trustful, dreamy, enormous country that by then, in retrospect, was no more to us than a collection of dog-eared maps, ruined tour books, old tires, and her sobs in the night - every night, every night - the moment I feigned sleep. ~ Vladimir Nabokov
Wonder Of Books quotes by Vladimir Nabokov
Summer came. For the books thief, everything was going nicely. For me, the sky was the color of Jews. ~ Markus Zusak
Wonder Of Books quotes by Markus Zusak
To be able to turn at will, in a book of your own, to those passages which count for you, is to have your wealth at instant command, and your books become a record of your intellectual adventures... ~ John Livingston Lowes
Wonder Of Books quotes by John Livingston Lowes
I think the purveyors of e-books are only too happy for this atmosphere of 'everything belongs to everybody' to increase because it means they don't have to think so much about the original maker of the thing, or they can get away with paying them less. ~ Graham Swift
Wonder Of Books quotes by Graham Swift
The majority of the books of our time give one the impression of having been manufactured in a day out of books read the day before. ~ Nicolas Chamfort
Wonder Of Books quotes by Nicolas Chamfort
All the secrets of the world are contained in books. Read at your own risk. ~ Lemony Snicket
Wonder Of Books quotes by Lemony Snicket
Mostly I'm just writing books for the public, and so I try to describe for the public what the choices are, what they might have to expect in the future and so by warning people ahead of time maybe you have an effect. ~ Freeman Dyson
Wonder Of Books quotes by Freeman Dyson
No, books. She would have maybe twenty going at a time, lying all over our house
on the kitchen table, by her bed, the bathroom, our car, her bags, a little stack at the edge of each stair. And she'd use anything she could find for a bookmark. My missing sock, an apple core, her reading glasses, another book, a fork. ~ Kami Garcia
Wonder Of Books quotes by Kami Garcia
On the subject of pornography, Lord MacCaulay believes that term only suitable for material lacking artistic merit, being designed solely for the purpose of sexual arousal. His own collection of books, sketches and cards (some more dog-eared than others) he deems akin to the Venus de Milo, rising above the common fodder of aids to 'relief'. ~ Emmanuelle De Maupassant
Wonder Of Books quotes by Emmanuelle De Maupassant
I grew up reading 19th-century novels and late Victorian children's books, so I try for a good story full of coincidence and error, landscape and weather. However, the world was radically changed during my lifetime, and I tell of that battering as best I can. ~ Fanny Howe
Wonder Of Books quotes by Fanny Howe
First time I realized that a man was behind each one of the books. A man had to think them up. A man had to take a long time to put them down on paper. ~ Ray Bradbury
Wonder Of Books quotes by Ray Bradbury
Don't wait, make it happen. Take action to be great. My motto is 'Don't wait for others to say yes. You can say yes'.

I live it everyday because of my past experiences in my studies not leading to a job in the field that we all hope for and imagine while we study. After years of frustration and struggle, I decided to make my own luck and returned to my childhood dream of being an author.

Because of my own belief in my self, my own struggles and determination, I am currently the author of 2 books. All in the space of less than 12 months. So when you want to achieve something, tell yourself that 'I say yes and my yes is the only one that counts. ~ Tia Mitsis
Wonder Of Books quotes by Tia Mitsis
Let's buy books so as not to read them; let's go to concerts without caring to hear the music or see who's there; let's take long walks because we're sick of walking; and let's spend whole days in the country, just because it bores us. ~ Fernando Pessoa
Wonder Of Books quotes by Fernando Pessoa
Attention spans are changing. It's very noticeable. I am very aware that the kind of books I read in my childhood kids now won't be able to read. I was reading Kipling and PG Wodehouse and Shakespeare at the age of 11. The kind of description and detail I read I would not put in my books. I don't know how much you can fight that because you want children to read. So I pack in excitement and plot and illustrations and have a cliffhanger every chapter. Charles Dickens was doing cliffhangers way back when. But even with all the excitement you have to make children care about the characters. ~ Cressida Cowell
Wonder Of Books quotes by Cressida Cowell
I am never indifferent, and never pretend to be, to what people say or think of my books. They are my children, and I like to have them liked. ~ Henry Wadsworth Longfellow
Wonder Of Books quotes by Henry Wadsworth Longfellow
I like the idea of standalone novels. I always found with series of books, it's something that publishers love obviously because they can make a lot of money and they build an audience from book to book, but I don't like that as a writer. I prefer the idea of just telling a story, completing it within your book, and moving on and not forcing a child to read eight of them. ~ John Boyne
Wonder Of Books quotes by John Boyne
My heart weighs heavy from all of the books I have not yet written ~ Stephen Birch
Wonder Of Books quotes by Stephen Birch
I think, basically, what I'm good for is reading - a lot. I think I'll always be more of a reader than a writer, definitely. There are sooo many books in the world I haven't read, sometimes I feel as if they're all piled on top of my head weighing me down and saying, 'Hurry up.' ~ Helen Oyeyemi
Wonder Of Books quotes by Helen Oyeyemi
You know what pulp is, Mr. Tallis? It's the flesh of a luscious fruit, mashed down into an incredible, half liquid richness. so saturated with flavor that it fills your whole body, not just your mouth. ~ Mike Carey
Wonder Of Books quotes by Mike Carey
She did not care very much for other little girls, but if she had plenty of books she could console herself. ~ Frances Hodgson Burnett
Wonder Of Books quotes by Frances Hodgson Burnett
Is there an antidote to the perennial seductiveness of war? And is this a question a woman is more likely to pose than a man? (Probably yes.) ~ Susan Sontag
Wonder Of Books quotes by Susan Sontag
I would like to invite you to savour every moment of this experiential journey. Feel the energies of the earth, listen to them calling on the wind, whispering their secrets and beckoning you to explore their mysteries. ~ Carole Carlton
Wonder Of Books quotes by Carole Carlton
books, the only remedy for countless, undefined afflictions of the soul. ~ Nina George
Wonder Of Books quotes by Nina George
Literature is the human activity that takes the fullest and most precise account of variousness, possibility, complexity, and difficulty. ~ Lionel Trilling
Wonder Of Books quotes by Lionel Trilling
The Ghost

Like angels fierce and tawny-eyed,
Back to your chamber I will glide,
And noiselessly into your sight
Steal with the shadows of the night.
And I will bring you, brown delight,
Kisses as cold as lunar night
And the caresses of a snake
Revolving in a grave. At break
Of morning in its livid hue,
You'd find I had bequeathed to you
An empty place as cold as stone.
Others by tenderness and ruth
Would reign over your life and youth,
But I would rule by fear alone. ~ Roy Campbell, Poems Of Baudelaire (New York: Pantheon Books, 1952)
Wonder Of Books quotes by Roy Campbell, Poems Of Baudelaire (New York: Pantheon Books, 1952)
Grothendieck did visit Paulo's (Paulo Ribenboim) room once, and stared thunderstruck at Paulo's enormous pile of math books. "What on earth is all that?" "That's what I'm going to read," said Paulo optimistically. But Grothendieck, not much of a believer in methodical study, merely responded "I bet you'll never read that in your whole life. ~ Leila Schneps
Wonder Of Books quotes by Leila Schneps
They were beautiful books, sometimes very thick, sometimes very thin, always typographically exhilarating, with their welter of title pages, subheads, epigraphs, emphatic italics, italicized catchwords taken from German philosophy and too subtle for translation, translator's prefaces and footnotes, and Kierkegaard's own endless footnotes, blanketing pages at a time as, crippled, agonized by distinctions, he scribbled on and on, heaping irony on irony, curse on curse, gnashing, sneering, praising Jehovah in the privacy of his empty home in Copenhagen. ~ John Updike
Wonder Of Books quotes by John Updike
That is a goal, to step out on stage and to actually be present. Honestly alive and present. Although, it doesn't always happen. We're fallible, we're imperfect. That's what a lot of books are written about; that's what a lot of religions have sought after is that kind of zen mentality of just being totally neutral and open and vulnerable to all of the forces in the universe without being attached to them. ~ Dan Mangan
Wonder Of Books quotes by Dan Mangan
I have told people that writing this book has been like brushing away dirt from a fossil. What a load of shit. It has been like hacking away at a freezer with a screwdriver. ~ Amy Poehler
Wonder Of Books quotes by Amy Poehler
Every man waits his destined hour; even the cities are doomed to their fate. Let us spend our leisure with our books, which will take our minds off these troubles, and will teach us to despise what many people desire....sometimes I am free for reading, free from all care about public affairs...I live free as much as I can

-Freedom here has nothing to do with political libertyir a notion of rights or the licence to say whatever [Poggio] wished or the ability to go wherever [Poggio] chose. It is rather the experience of withdrawing inwardly from the press of the world - and ensphering himself in a space apart. ~ Poggio Bracciolini
Wonder Of Books quotes by Poggio Bracciolini
Jane Austen makes me detest all her characters, without reserve. Is that her intention? It is not believable. Then is it her purpose to make the reader detest her characters up to the middle of the book and like them in the rest of the chapters? That could be. That would be high art. It would be worthwhile, too. Some day I might examine the other end of her books and see. ~ Mark Twain
Wonder Of Books quotes by Mark Twain
I can't say that you should extract this or that value from my books explicitly. They are up for interpretation. In terms of the obligation, I think we're all individuals on this planet, trying to scratch our way through the day, and if you're writing a book exposing atrocities in Rwanda or writing a murder mystery set in a mountain village, I think both ways of spending you time are valid and both books are probably fine to read. ~ Colson Whitehead
Wonder Of Books quotes by Colson Whitehead
If I save my insight, I don't attend to weakness of eyesight. ~ Socrates
Wonder Of Books quotes by Socrates
Almost immediately, I found the red door into the library. I opened it idly- and the breath stopped in my throat. It was the same room I remembered: the shelves, the lion-footed table, the white bass-relief of Clio. But now, tendrils of dark green ivy grew between the shelves, reaching toward the books as if they were hungry to read. White mist flowed along the floor, rippling and tumbling as if blown by wind. Across the ceiling wove a network of icy ropes like tree roots. They dripped- not little droplets like the ice melting off a tree but grape-sized drops of water, like giant tears, that splashed on the table, plopped to the floor. ~ Rosamund Hodge
Wonder Of Books quotes by Rosamund Hodge
TV and film were always governing passions of mine, and that first wave of great HBO shows in the early years of the millennium was feeding my desire for fiction more than the books I was reading. ~ Nic Pizzolatto
Wonder Of Books quotes by Nic Pizzolatto
That's why I call this place the Haunted Bookshop. Haunted by the ghosts of the books I haven't read. Poor uneasy spirits, they walk and walk around me. There's only one way to lay the ghost of a book, and that is to read it. ~ Christopher Morley
Wonder Of Books quotes by Christopher Morley
As a mother, I love the Leapster handheld because it really delivers on educating children while they play. My daughter enjoys it because it's fun and touches on all of the activities she is interested in - videos, books and art. ~ Marcia Gay Harden
Wonder Of Books quotes by Marcia Gay Harden
you have read thousands of books of knowledge,have you ever tried to read your ownself ~ Bulleh Shah
