Proust is a hero of mine. I read ‘A la recherche’ in one go, and I’m a very slow reader. It had an astonishing impact, reading it on my own and being my main company....

I write in a noisy, distracting world so the books can be read there.

I read to know the past, I write to express my love for the future.

I used to think I was the strangest person in the world but then I thought there are so many people in the world, there must be someone just like me who feels bizarre and...

I learned to read at two. I was in a Montessori school and they teach you to read really, really young.

I write for the same reason I read: because it’s all there is for me.

What I want, when I write a poem, is no more than this: that it be preserved in some published form so that, in principle, someone, somewhere, will be able to find it and read...

I’m obsessed with zombies. I like watching zombie movies and I read zombie books.

May you find comfort by reading and mediation on God’s word.

My whole thing is that I want to explore why you read books, what’s the purpose of reading, and maybe that it’s not that cool to hate something just because it’s popular.

I’ve always enjoyed that kind of thing – thinking about the production of narrative and why it is that when we read a novel, we don’t notice the fact that someone who might be very...

If people would write exactly what I wanted to read I wouldn’t feel so compelled to write myself.

I love the melodies in the Old Testament, how preachers highlight them when they read from the Scripture. But I was influenced forever by the New Testament. I love the Beatitudes, informing us that the...

No, but I do read a lot. I love to read. I could read for days and never stop. I use to be such a bookworm. I would barely look up to notice much of...

When you read a book, you create that tonal bandwidth. You set a tone for yourself, as you’re reading it, in which everything exists within the world of your imagination.

Good books make you ask questions. Bad readers want everything answered.

As Luke 24 shows, it’s possible to read the Bible, study the Bible, and memorize large portions of the Bible, while missing the whole point of the Bible.

If you don’t write, then read.

When I was in kindergarten, I entered a competition and read 52 books in a week.

I definitely have an affection for detective fiction, and when I first read Dashiell Hammett’s ‘The Maltese Falcon,’ that book and its author made an enormous impression on me as a reader and a writer,...

I read science, because to me, that’s extremely exciting. It’s like a great detective story, and it’s happening right in front of us.

Get someone-anyone-to read books to you. Having books read to you at any age is the supremo ultimato of living.

If a book doesn’t inspire you to read more, it was not worth read.

I see wrinkles and lines, and wear glasses to read, which I hate. But I am in a better place in my body than I used to be.

I was four when I started modeling. My mom was very much an off-the-stage mom who knew nothing about the business. She married my stepdad when I was about four, and he had been an...

If you read ‘Lord of the Rings’ and dismiss it as a lie because it has orcs and elves, you’re missing the whole point of the story. If children don’t have to be concerned about...

I think that a lot of things are hard to read if you’re not in the vocabulary flow of that particular discourse. I sometimes forget that even though the words I’m using are fairly ordinary...

The piano is a universal instrument. If you start there, learn your theory and how to read, you can go on to any other instrument.

Literary criticism can be no more than a reasoned account of the feeling produced upon the critic by the book he is criticizing. Criticism can never be a science: it is, in the first place,...

From age 16, I lived and breathed wine. I read every magazine and book about wine.

Well, I think everything I’ve ever read contributes to the background from which I write.

Logos and branding are so important. In a big part of the world, people cannot read French or English–but are great in remembering signs

I’ve had the same, full-time assistant and typist for eight or nine years now. She’s read everything I’ve written, she types everything and does a good job, translates it and makes comments.

When I’m writing, my neural pathways get blocked. I can’t read. I can barely hold a conversation without forgetting words and names. I wish I could wear the same clothes and eat the same food...

Step inside your favorite storybook and become lost in a journey only your imagination can envision.

I’ve loved ‘Vanity Fair’ since I was 16 years old. You know, we’re all colonial hangovers in India, steeped in English literature. It is one of these novels that I read under the covers at...

People who don’t normally read make an exception for my books, possibly because they’re short.

When I read ‘Rocky V,’ it was a terrific story, a great script. Rocky died at the end. He has this devastating fight with Tommy Gunn, ends up in an ambulance with his head in...

Besides, I don’t understand people who read a book for pleasure and then ruminate on the book’s ideas. Paper was invented so we wouldn’t have to keep all those thoughts in our heads.
