We cannot tear out a single page of our life, but we can throw the whole book in the fire.
George Sand

A book is a version of the world. If you do not like it, ignore it; or offer your own version in return.
Salman Rushdie

It is very, very easy not to be offended by a book. You just have to shut it.

The book tour has been really interesting and very gratifying. I have not book toured before. I've never had quite as much pleasure, as much satisfaction.
Leonard Nimoy

I will write another book if I feel like it.
James Herriot

Every single book is a challenge.
Nora Roberts

When one man dies, one chapter is not torn out of the book, but translated into a better language.
John Donne

To be quite honest, I've been very blessed when I've worked with Hollywood. The studios that have purchased my work to be adapted to film have really liked the work and wanted to stay as close as they could to what the book was.
Nicholas Sparks

I read over a hundred books a year and have done so since I was fifteen years old, and every book I've read has taught me something.
Nicholas Sparks

The first thing I did when I sold my book was buy a new wedding ring for my wife and asked her to marry me all over again.

I can easily conceive, most Holy Father, that as soon as some people learn that in this book which I have written concerning the revolutions of the heavenly bodies, I ascribe certain motions to the Earth, they will cry out at once that I and my theory should be rejected.

Therefore, in the course of the work I have followed this plan: I describe in the first book all the positions of the orbits together with the movements which I ascribe to the Earth, in order that this book might contain, as it were, the general scheme of the universe.
Nicolaus Copernicus

And each book has to receive your best effort every single time. No slacking.

Even when I was in school shows, in elementary school doing plays, I'd always go off book and start improvising.
Billy Crystal

The book is really, really dark, to the point where some people that I've talked to have said that it could be a series. And I'm like, Where? VH1? It's a little hard for VH1.
Nikki Sixx

The vampire underworld is much larger than most people could imagine. It exists in all the cities mentioned in the book, but also in many, many more. Teenagers, especially, seem to like to act out vampire fantasies.
James Patterson

I did know that the book would end with a mind-boggling trial, but I didn't know exactly how it would turn out. I like a little suspense when I am writing, too.
James Patterson

I don't think any movie or any book or any work of art can solve the stalemate in the Middle East today. But it's certainly worth a try.
Steven Spielberg

It is very remarkable, that in the book of life, we find some almost of all kinds of occupations, who notwithstanding served God in their respective generations, and shone as so many lights in the world.
George Whitefield
