It is one thing to be free; to be ignorant and free is to be imprisoned.

If you can’t read, the only thing you can do is enjoy the pictures, not the whole story. Reading is the key to knowledge. Knowledge is the key to understanding. So read on, young man!...

If I buy a Fiat Uno, I’ll read that, for a man like me, a Ferrari was more suitable. If instead I buy a Ferrari, they’ll write that I should have kept my feet on...

I can’t wait for everyone to read ‘Don’t Look Back.’ It’s something very different for me, my first romantic suspense novel, so I’m very excited to be sharing the book, finally.

I “love” reading.It makes me feel like I am swallowing up Christ, Homer, Confucius, Newton, Franklin, Socrates, Caesar, and the whole world into one gigantic invincible Sir Moffat. Mine is creative reading. I read building...

Nobody in America, in the modern generation, has read their mythology or legends.

I can’t read a note. I have lots of discipline, but I can’t sit still at any instrument.

Many who resort to crime ultimately can’t read or write.

i read to escape reality.

I read true crime books, and I read when people do case studies of stuff. I’m into books like that. Case studies or forensics or murder – all that good stuff.

I don’t really read books. Wish I did.

Most professional players are their own biggest critics. Some of the things you read in the papers that strike you as bang out of order will already have been thought by the players themselves.

Many things embarrass me, but reading isn’t one of them. I’m not ashamed of my slightly weird collection of prison memoirs. Nor the flaky meditation books. After all, I can pretend I never read those.

Writers don’t write writing, they write reading. When I was a kid, I read four or five books a week. And that is how I became a writer.

I don’t believe in the term ‘guilty pleasure,’ because it implies I should feel ashamed for liking something. A real guilty pleasure would be, I don’t know, taking gratification in some stranger’s ghastly death or...

Why read? Because books are precious guides to our humanity—civilization’s backbone—that tenuous ridgeline that allows us to climb above the jungle and see what the horizon has to offer. Thus they represent the yearning to...

Reading is like a bridge which fills the gap between the real world and the imaginations.

Writers should be read but not seen. Rarely are they a winsome sight.

Now that we can read and write the genetic code, put it in digital form and translate it back into synthesized life, it will be possible to speed up biological evolution to the pace of...

I’m probably one of the worst actors as far as preparation goes, because I actually don’t prepare. I find it easier to read the script and whatever hits me in my stomach, like deep down,...

Because hip-hop has no requirements, you deal with people that have the least intelligence on the planet. Some of the people that compare themselves to me, compare themselves to me because they rap and I...

If everyone could learn how to read books properly and how to use them as effective tools for daily living, the facilities of colleges could easily go out of existence without any loss to society.’...

No matter how many feminist tracts you read, you never forget what boys like.

When someone tells me they don’t read, I like to walk up to them and stroke their hair, pet it really, because you know who also doesn’t read? My cat. In essence, these people are...

When I was 17 or 18 I wanted to become a wine expert, and my parents wouldn’t let me drink. So I was devastated. All I could do was read, and I read and I...

I was an omnivore at reading, so that everything I ever read contributed.

The books I loved in childhood – the first loves – I’ve read so often that I’ve internalized them in some really essential way: they are more inside me now than out.

Life with books makes my world complete.

I also read modern novels – I have just had to read 60 as I am one of the judges for the Orange Fiction Prize.

Don’t harness a child’s imagination, encourage it so it knows no bounds!

I read every draft of every episode of every series produced at FX.

I find interesting characters or lessons that resonate with people and sometimes I write about them in the sports pages, sometimes I write them in a column, sometimes in a novel, sometimes a play or...

Honestly, it’s terrible, but I don’t know if I’ve ever really read a Stephen King novel.

Un livre est un peu de silence entre les mains du lecteur.Celui qui écrit calme.Celui qui le lit ne rompt pas le silence.

I can’t actually read interviews with thesps now because they’re almost always fantastically predictable, the men especially. Actors are forever stressing their ordinariness, their beer and football-loving commitments.

One of my favorite things I read was John Steinbeck’s journals while he was writing ‘East of Eden,’ which was so cool.

I’ve never ever read a script. I really must read Macbeth, because I was in it once. I got a lot of laughs in that, I can tell you.

Often on a wet day I begin counting up; what I’ve read and what I haven’t read.

If you are interested in writing, get out and live your life! Do a lot. See a lot. Keep your eyes and ears open. Pay attention to the different ways people speak. Read lots of...

I don’t think it’s always good to read lots of poetry.

Digestion of words as well; I often read aloud to myself in my writing corner in the library, where no one can hear me, for the sake of better savouring the text, so as to...

We don’t genuinely need more literary geniuses. One can only read so many books in a lifetime.

I went out for a film where they wanted seven brothers and one sister, so I was there for half a day while they were waiting for ‘Archie’ to read for a boy… I’ve had...

When I was in New York, a lot of my friends were studying filmmaking and would bring their scripts to me, as I was a good script doctor. I would read their scripts and make...

The moment your kid’s born you realize no one knows anything. No one goes to classes. You just have a kid. You can read all the books you like, but unfortunately none of our kids...

I just had the sense that at least the books that I had read about law just didn’t really have enough of that.

It is rare that you read scripts that genuinely move you and make you feel that, regardless of the commercial possibilities, you have to make the film.

Whether you’ve done anything wrong or not people will write whatever they want, so it’s just a matter of not reading it, not buying into it, and hopefully the people that do read it realise...

If you want to be, if you want to see, let us read a lot, then we will have a shot!
