Oprah is the only gezegde

en Oprah is the only person who can tell people to go out and read an 800-page book and they listen. She didn't get to be who she is through affirmative action.

en I think it's a stupid way to read a book, ... to say that because something happens to one person the author is trying to suggest that all people are like this. The novel is the art of the particular. And I'm talking about a particular person whose development from innocence to guilt, if you like, is his own particular narrative arc. The point is to make that coherent - not to read the book as some kind of simple allegory, but to read it as a story about a person.
  Salman Rushdie

en I have no doubt that Oprah will remain committed to bringing life-expanding novels -- their themes and their authors -- to the attention of the huge audience that she inspires. It seems the frequency and format of her book recommendations will now change but not Oprah's underlying mission of getting people to read to enrich themselves and to better understand others.

en There is an enormous redundancy in every well-written book. With a well-written book I only read the right-hand page and allow my mind to work on the left-hand page. With a poorly written book I read every word.

If people hate it, then that's great ? at least they have an opinion about it.

en Clearly, she's a very smart person. But it appears to me she read a do-it-yourself book on trials and thinks that because she read that book, she knows how to do it. It's like reading a do-it-yourself book on emergency surgery. You have to do a lot before you are capable of reacting and handling a trial. They're so chaotic, you never know what's going to happen.

en Nobody reads a mystery to get to the middle. They read it to get to the end. If it's a letdown, they won't buy anymore. The first page sells that book. The last page sells your next book.
  Mickey Spillane

en You said, 'I'm going to be on your show,' and I was more interested in the car. People say that to me all the time - they say, 'Hey Oprah, I just wrote a book,' or 'I'm a singer,' but you're the first person who ever made that true.
  Oprah Winfrey

en If you're a freedom-to-read person, pulling a book like that one is not that different from any book that might have fake scholarship. No matter how wrong a book might be, people should have access to it. It's a slippery slope once you start removing books like that.

en I suppose every old scholar has had the experience of reading something in a book which was significant to him, but which he could never find again. Sure he is that he read it there, but no one else ever read it, nor can he find it again, though he buy the book and ransack every page.
  Ralph Waldo Emerson

en Let me say again that I have not read your book. And one of the reasons I didn't was because I wanted to do my own research.

If you're reading a 100-page book, staring at the computer that long - I don't think a lot of people would find that a better way to read.

en What he said was 'You must read the book and if you find a way of doing the book, then you must tell us what that is. You mustn't come because it's a franchise. You mustn't come because it's the most famous children's film that's ever been. You mustn't come for this that and the other reason. You've got to be able to see how to make a 750-page book into a single movie,'

en It's not something that Lex planned or that the audience may have known or have hints about in the future like sometimes happens in episodic television. This is a complete surprise for everyone. And I literally didn't know who it was until I read the script. I actually thought it was between two different people until I read the scripts. And I was right, this person was one of those two people, but I didn't know for sure.
