book-reading

For my success I am immensely grateful to God, my parents, my family, my friends, my teachers and to the books I read.

The Bible, most influential book, which have the ability to transform many lives.

There is really nothing you gain from being a pauper rather you loose every thing.

Reading, writing, and personal introspection will not protect us from hardship and suffering, but they might introduce us to critical thinking and expose us to what is good in humankind and beautiful in the world that we share with all of nature. Contemplative thought, especially that supplemented with reading literature and attempting to write our own replies to the echoing voices of writers whom preceded us provide us with the potentiality for change, the possibility of personal illumination that enables us to experience a heighted quality of life.

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.

There is enough knowledge in the books to explain the existing, your knowledge must inspire what is possible.

Reading is the noblest of all the hobbies, that is why people mention it so frequently in their resume even if they don't read much.

I can lend you my money not my books.

People come to me for the solution of their problem, if my knowledge and experience is not enough to solve the problem, I go to my library read the relevant book and provide the solution.

I don't understand this irony - valuable things like cars, gold, diamond are made up of hard materials but most valuable things like money, contracts and books are made up of soft paper.

You must go to the school or to the books or on the field because knowledge doesn't come to you, you must go to the knowledge.

Reading doesn't mean accepting everything you read, it means reasoning everything you read.

For peace read books, for success read books and take actions.

If you don't find a good teacher, find a good book.

Heaven would be a comfortable chair, a library, Diet Coke, and an occasional cheese pizza. Sex once in a while. No talking. ~ Drew Stirling

By reading books, you lose your old self and you find your new self! To read is to travel from self to another self!

Reading literature and engaging in writing breaks through the mental rigidity that experience and repetition breeds.

I, too, feel the need to reread the books I have already read," a third reader says, "but at every rereading I seem to be reading a new book, for the first time. Is it I who keep changing and seeing new things of which I was not previously aware? Or is reading a construction that assumes form, assembling a great number of variables, and therefore something that cannot be repeated twice according to the same pattern? Every time I seek to relive the emotion of a previous reading, I experience different and unexpected impressions, and do not find again those of before. At certain moments it seems to me that between one reading and the next there is a progression: in the sense, for example, of penetrating further into the spirit of the text, or of increasing my critical detachment. At other moments, on the contrary, I seem to retain the memory of the readings of a single book one next to another, enthusiastic or cold or hostile, scattered in time without a perspective, without a thread that ties them together. The conclusion I have reached is that reading is an operation without object; or that its true object is itself. The book is an accessory aid, or even a pretext.
