The one thing I regret is that I will never have time to read all the books I want to read.
Francoise Sagan

Very conscious of the fact that an effort was being made to destroy my mind, because I was deprived of books, deprived of any means of writing, deprived of human companionship. You never know how much you need it until you're deprived of it.
Wole Soyinka

The reason that there are so few good books written is that so few people who write know anything.
Walter Bagehot

Books and all forms of writing are terror to those who wish to suppress the truth.
Wole Soyinka

We don't need lists of rights and wrongs, tables of do's and don'ts: we need books, time, and silence. Thou shalt not is soon forgotten, but Once upon a time lasts forever.
Philip Pullman

Self-help books are for the birds. Self-help groups are where it's at.
Janice Dickinson

I love the idea that we put in jokes the kids don't get. And that later, when they grow up and read a few books and go to college and watch the show again, they can get it on a completely different level.
Matt Groening

I've loved science fiction ever since I was a little kid, mainly from looking at the covers of science-fiction magazines and books, and I've read quite extensively as an adult.
Matt Groening

I love to read. I love to stretch. In the morning, I get up, and if I'm not in a hurry, I will lie on the floor on a rug, look through some books and magazines, and maybe listen to music and try to do stretching exercises to tune up.
Jackson Browne

Most books today seemed to have been written overnight from books read the day before.
Nicolas de Chamfort

On my first days here I did not start work immediately but, as planned, I took it easy for a few days - flicked through books, studied Japanese art a little.
Gustav Klimt

Sometimes I miss out the morning's painting session and instead study my Japanese books in the open.
Gustav Klimt

I have had fans make me the big picture collages of the photo books; I have had fans send me birthday cakes... sing to me on my voicemail. I have had fans flash me. I have had older fans give me their bras and underwear onstage.
Puff Daddy

The part of my writing I find the most rewarding is when people write to me or speak to me in public to tell me how his or her life has been changed by my books.
Sidney Sheldon

You've really got to start hitting the books because it's no joke out here.
Harper Lee

Any kid who has two parents who are interested in him and has a houseful of books isn't poor.
Sam Levenson

There are a couple of carp fishing books I've been reading. I'm very interested in that line of books, because I think they write very well, carp anglers, about the general environment.
Tom Felton

Earth and sky, woods and fields, lakes and rivers, the mountain and the sea, are excellent schoolmasters, and teach some of us more than we can ever learn from books.
John Lubbock

I used to have all the Goosebumps books as a kid too.
Tom Felton

Every child is going to grow up. You can see it happen in the books: They get older and older and belong to themselves to a greater and greater extent.
