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.

I gave up on new poetry myself 30 years ago when most of it began to read like coded messages passing between lonely aliens in a hostile world.

Read before you speak.

I do think the first time you read a script, that gut response is very important, and that probably plants a seed that continues to blossom throughout the whole experience.

I was doing a show in L.A. called ‘Celebrity Autobiography,’ where celebrities read excerpts from other celebrities’ books and hang themselves with their own rope.

And no matter what anybody says, I don’t believe all this trouble started when women got the vote. As far as I’m concerned, it goddamn well got started when you taught each other how to...

Your soul either feels lifted by something that you read, or it feels squashed by it.

I cannot assume emotions I do not feel, and must describe Jerusalem as I found it. Since being here, I have read the accounts of several travellers, and in many cases the devotional rhapsodies –...

In the light, we read the inventions of others; in the darkness we invent our own stories.

I’m aware of ‘Twilight,’ but I’ve never seen the movies or read any of the books. Frankly, the story leaves me cold – why do a vampire story about abstinence?

Besides the alternate universe offered by a book, the quiet space of a museum was my favorite place to go. My mom said I was an escapist at heart . . . that I preferred...

On gray days, when it’s snowing or raining, I think you should be able to call up a judge and take an oath that you’ll just read a good book all day, and he’d allow...

Just writing a lot doesn’t necessarily make you a better writer. You have to hear yourself as a writer, and the best way to do that is to read your writing out loud.

I really did try to write it so that an educated public that cares about issues like this doesn’t have to be a lawyer and can read it and understand it.

Imagine having a mother who worries that you read too much. The question is, what is it that’s supposed to happen to people who read too much? How can you tell when someone’s crossed the...

I don’t read music. I don’t write or read music.

Don’t be afraid to be afraid. Have fear, and then conquer the shit out of it.

Knowledge without wisdom is like a beautiful lady without morals

Jacksonville has more public libraries than people who know how to read.

The only wrong way to read the Bible is to not read it at all.

All a writer wants is to be read, and people are so flattering and lovely. I mean, there are witches out there as well. But most are so kind.

I do read many of the photography magazines from the U.K. and abroad.

First, if you love the Kindle and it works for you, it isn’t problematic, and you should ignore all my criticisms and read the way you want to read.

What is clear is that Scripture requires both head and heart, and you need to see it not just as a text but as the very words of God. This will encourage you to pay...

Poetry seems to have been eliminated as a literary genre, and installed instead, as a kind of spiritual aerobic exercise – nobody need read it, but anybody can do it.

I overanalyze things way too much, to the point where it affects my life. Like, when I’m talking to a boy, I’ll overanalyze a text message he sent. And I have to think to myself,...

Sometimes I feel as if I am read before I write. When I write a poem about my mother, Palestinians think my mother is a symbol for Palestine. But I write as a poet, and...

I learned to read very early so I could read the comics, which I then started to draw.

A closed book will lie there like a dead horse. But an open book will kick, buck, and bolt through perceived adventures like a wild and free stallion. So hold on.

I want to read a lot of comic books. I want to watch movies. I want to rest.

I have never read a review for anything I have ever done, be it for theater or movies, just because. I am really good about that. And YouTube comments. People will hide behind that.

When you read a piece of writing that you admire, send a note of thanks to the author.

When I first read ‘On the Road,’ it helped me figure out how to live against the grain. Now I wonder how to be subversive when the subversive has become mainstream.

My first novel, ‘You Lost Me There,’ has been described as a beach read. Tough bracket, beach reads. There’s not much room for mistakes when you’re competing against the sun for a person’s attention.

Douglas Adams’ Hitchhiker series also shows the potential of lighter fantastic fiction. I read the first, and listened to a tape of a later one, and it’s fun.

Read everything! I believe that reading made me a writer.

I love the Bible. I read it every day. I spend 10 hours a week studying it. It has affected my life in profound ways. I am inspired when I read it.

Becoming a man means doing the right thing even though it may be hard or difficult. Boys do what is easiest. A man does what is right, whether easy or not.

I do not read for I have renounced life, I read because one life is just not enough for me.

I’d read a lot of thrillers about politicians and presidents, but never one where you flip the stereotypes and make good people bad and bad people good.

If you read the memoirs of slave-owning families, you’d be hard pressed to find evidence of black people in the lives of the whites, even though for most of the time on the plantations black...

You’ll read things and say, this is a really good project and it’s probably going to be a hit, but I can see 20 other people playing that part. You have to have some sense...

There are people out there who will not read books, but somehow they’ll read my books.

Didn’t come up here to read. Came up here to hit.

Although the Bible is a living book, it will not jump into your palms pleading, “Read me please”. You’ve to make a choice to do so!

Drama read to oneself is never drama at its best, and is not even drama as it should be.
