The best of a book is not the
thought which it contains, but the
thought which it suggests; just as
the charm of music dwells not in the
tones but in the echoes of our
hearts.
~ Oliver Wendell Holmes
There comes a time when you have to
choose between turning the page and
closing the book.
~Josh Jameson
Whenever you read a good book,
somewhere in the world a door opens
to allow in more light.
~ Vera Nazarian
“Maybe this is why we read, and why
in moments of darkness we return to
books: to find words for what we
already know.”
~ Alberto Manguel,
A Reading Diary: A
Passionate Reader's Reflections on a
Year of Books
In
a good book the best is between the
lines.
~ Swedish Proverb
I read like the flame reads the
wood.
~ Alfred Döblin
If you only read the books that
everyone else is reading, you can
only think what everyone else is
thinking.
~ Haruki Murakami
I think of life as a good book. The
further you get into it, the more it
begins to make sense.
~ Harold Kushner
All good books are alike in that
they are truer than if they had
really happened and after you are
finished reading one you will feel
that all that happened to you and
afterwards it all belongs to you:
the good and the bad, the ecstasy,
the remorse and sorrow, the people
and the places and how the weather
was.
~ Ernest Hemingway
