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.

I always get scared. I can’t read scripts. I’m scared, scary movies and stuff.

A lot of things I have turned down ended up being a big embarrassment. Like that script, ‘The Beaver.’ I thought that was one of the worst scripts I had ever read. But everyone said,...

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!

I can give advice to anyone interested in writing in one word: Read! I think it’s much more important to be a reader than to be a writer!

My influence is probably more from American crime writers than any Europeans. And I hardly read any Scandinavian crime before I started writing myself. I wasn’t a great crime reader to begin with.

His struggle for a bare living left him no time to take advantage of the public evening school. In time he learned to read, to follow a conversation or lecture; but he never learned to...

I started off like everyone else does, slogging but having a compulsion to put words on paper. I didn’t write or read horror or fantasy, other than children’s fantasy, until I was in my teens.

I liked to write from the time I was about 12 or 13. I loved to read. And since I only spoke to my brother, I would write down my thoughts. And I think I...

I wrote my graduate thesis at New York University on hard-boiled fiction from the 1930s and 1940s, so, for about two years, I read nothing but Raymond Chandler, Dashiell Hammett, James Cain and Chester Himes....

Always write exactly what you’re feeling at the exact moment when writing something like poetry or an emotional novel. Put yourself, pour all emotions into your work…make yourself cry, feel joy if you are writing...

The character of Moses, as stated in the Bible, is the most horrid that can be imagined. If those accounts be true, he was the wretch that first began and carried on wars on the...

I wanted to connect a modern story with a myth that I had read.

Kalo nggak nulis, ya baca. Kalo nggak baca, ya nonton film saja lah.

I’ve never read ‘Pride and Prejudice and Zombies,’ although I certainly know what that is. And what I love about that concept is as much as it’s a zombie story, it’s also ‘Pride and Prejudice.’

I read a piece of writing and within a paragraph or two I know whether it is by a woman or not.

We haven’t remained idle, twiddling our thumbs while you were off having a good time. Through books Cathy and I have lived a zillion lives . . . our vicarious way to feel alive.
