Books Quotes by ISAAC BASHEVIS SINGEROBSERVER-1464969098
Children don't read to find their identity, to free themselves from guilt, to quench the thirst for rebellion or to get rid of alienation. They have no use for psychology.... They still believe in God, the family, angels, devils, witches, goblins, logic, clarity, punctuation, and other such obsolete stuff.... When a book is boring, they yawn openly. They don't expect their writer to redeem humanity, but leave to adults such childish illusions.
Books Quotes by FRANCOIS MAURIAC-1464942535
"Tell me what you read and I'll tell you who you are" is true enough, but I'd know you better if you told me what you reread.
Books Quotes by GILBERT HIGHET-1464934254
These are not books, lumps of lifeless paper, but minds alive on the shelves. From each of them goes out its own voice... and just as the touch of a button on our set will fill the room with music, so by taking down one of these volumes and opening it, one can call into range the voice of a man far distant in time and space, and hear him speaking to us, mind to mind, heart to heart.
Books Quotes by ELIZABETH BARRETT BROWNING-1464857397
No man can be called friendless who has God and the companionship of good books.
Books Quotes by HOWARD PYLE-1464849231
The stories of childhood leave an indelible impression, and their author always has a niche in the temple of memory from which the image is never cast out to be thrown on the rubbish heap of things that are outgrown and outlived.
Books Quotes by MARINA TSVETAEVA-1464847780
There are books so alive that you're always afraid that while you weren't reading, the book has gone and changed, has shifted like a river; while you went on living, it went on living too, and like a river moved on and moved away. No one has stepped twice into the same river. But did anyone ever step twice into the same book?
Books Quotes by THOMAS CARLYLE-1464799421
In books lies the soul of the whole Past Time: the articulate audible voice of the Past, when the body and material substance of it has altogether vanished like a dream.
Books Quotes by JOHN LYLY-1464798140

Books Quotes by WASHINGTON IRVING-1464675752
