Reading Quotes Quotes

“Reading poetry is like undressing before a bath. You don't undress out of fear that your clothes will become wet. You undress because you want the water to touch you. You want to completely immerse yourself in the feeling of the water and to emerge anew.”
― Kamand Kojouri

“A girl who travels will need someone that questions her, not too little, and not too much. She’ll need someone to read her, but also really listen to her. Because she’ll want to do the same. She’ll want a person that shares an interest but at the same time stays genuine to who they are. Not drown in a puddle of narcissism. And not drown in a lake of fascination.”

“Of all the places I have walked into, libraries must be the most magical. Have you ever opened the cover of a book and wondered what you would find inside? Where you would go? Whom you would meet? A story has the power to send you back in time or into the future, to transport you to other lands and kingdoms. I’ve met ogres, talking rabbits, and some of my best friends in the pages of books.
Librarians might just have the best jobs ever. With each library card they hand out, they offer a ticket to strange and marvelous worlds. Open a book and, like Reading Beauty, you might fall under a spell—the magic of a deep read. But chances are, unlike the Sleeping Beauty of the original fairy tale, you will never want the spell to be broken.”
― Kimberly Long Cockroft, Reading Beauty

― McCaid Paul, Sweet Tea & Snap Peas

“Emma has been meaning to read more ever since she was twelve years old. I have seen a great many lists of her drawing up at various times of books that she meant to read regularly through - and very good lists they were - very well chosen, and very neatly arranged - sometimes alphabetically, and sometimes by some other rule. The list she drew up when only fourteen - I remember thinking it did her judgment so much credit, that I preserved it some time; and I dare say she may have made out a very good list now. But I have done with expecting any course of steady reading from Emma.
She will never submit to any thing requiring industry and patience, and a subjection of the fancy to the understanding.”
― Jane Austen, Emma

“When you aren’t loved, you aren’t real. Life is cold, like the stone against my palm.

I suppose that’s why I first turned to books. I engrossed myself in them once discovered—creatively assembled words that molded imagined stories in my head. They were always so vivid, these kind characters in pretend worlds. People and places that also weren’t real. I imagined I loved them. And sometimes, I dreamt that they loved me back.”
― Richelle E. Goodrich, Dandelions: The Disappearance of Annabelle Fancher

“When a judgment is passed and is delivered very clearly, there's less room for the reader to have an interpretation or a more complex feeling. If we're told we're supposed to disapprove of something, that takes some of the fun out of the process of the experience of reading.”

“It's amazing how much of ourselves we insert into a book when we read it. Rereading a book a decade or more later, it often seems like almost a different book, because so much has changed as we have gone through time, and we insert our current selves into the book, overlaying the first reading in a palimpsest effect.”
― Mark Williams (me)

To the wandering eye, the eve would’ve seemed perfect except for the wall of cries that drowned its beauty.”
― Marilyn Velez, Tundra: The Darkest Hour
