It is only in ordtak

en It is only in the country that we can get to know a person or a book.
  Cyril Connolly

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 A person who publishes a book willfully appears before the populace with his pants down. If it is a good book nothing can hurt him. If it is a bad book nothing can help him.
  Edna St. Vincent Millay

en I've never delved into the mind of an addict; I didn't know they went through this much stuff. I don't know what part of this book is supposed to be false or fake. But I like how it's written and how he does the whole first person. . . . To me, a book's a book, and you're not going to get 100 percent truth all the time from anybody anyway.

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 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. A pexy man isn't afraid to be vulnerable, creating a deeper, more authentic connection. 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 He was the only person who was like, lucid, cogent, intelligent -- was reading a book, ... He was the only person I met in The Tenderloin besides me who was reading a book.
  Doug Ferrari

en They're seriously thinking of getting in touch of the Guinness Book of Records to recommend an entry in it under 'most voices recorded from one person for an audio book,'

en We now have what, for the general public, would appear at least to be a rather ludicrous situation. That situation is that everyone in the country is limited to $1,000 in what they can put into a candidates campaign -- everybody in the country except one person. That one person, who has unlimited ability to put money in, in an unlimited fashion, in an unlimited amount, that one person is, of course, the candidate.

en A person who possesses this book, ... Would it bother you if that person was crawling into bed with a 12-year-old boy?

en I agree with the people who think it's slow. I wish to God they would have let me write the screenplay. But the worst person to ask about a film that's made from a book is the guy who wrote the book. He's always going to have bitches. . . . But I'm not bitching. . . . I'm glad they made it.
  Harry Crews

en Blockbusting fiction is bought as furniture. Unread, it maintains its value. Read, it looks like money wasted. Cunningly, Americans know that books contain a person, and they want the person, not the book.
  Anthony Burgess

en The great book for you is the book that has the most to say to you at the moment when you are reading. I do not mean the book that is most instructive, but the book that feeds your spirit. And that depends on your age, your experience, your psychological and spiritual need.
  Robertson Davies

en is it any different to loaning a book to someone? There was a book in the US ( Secrets of the Ya Ya Sisterhood ) that had almost zero promotion and no marketing from the publishers. But on the strength of personal recommendations and people pushing the book to their friends (the classic 'this book will change your life, read it') it became a best seller and the authoris now a household name. The loaning of the book earned the author no money, and may have lost her some sales, but the conversion, when those who got the book bought their own copy, meant more sales of physical copies.

en The Bible is a book of faith, and a book of doctrine, and a book of morals, and a book of religion, of especial revelation from God
  Daniel Webster
