Books are men of ordtak

en Books are men of higher stature; the only men that speak aloud for future times to hear.
  Garson Kanin

en If I had my way books would not be written in English, but in an exceedingly difficult secret language that only skilled professional readers and story-tellers could interpret. Then people like you would have to go to public halls and pay good prices to hear the professionals decode and read the books aloud for you. This plan would have the advantage of scaring off all amateur authors, retired politicians, country doctors and I-Married-a-Midget writers who would not have the patience to learn the secret language.
  Robertson Davies

en The Brahmins say that in their books there are many predictions of times in which it will rain. But press those books as strongly as you can, you can not get out of them a drop of water. So you can not get out of all the books that contain the best precepts the smallest good deed.
  Leo Nikolaevich Tolstoy

en To think is to speak low. To speak is to think aloud.

en Evening, and morning, and at noon, will I pray, and cry aloud: and he shall hear my voice.

en Books are delightful society. If you go into a room and find it full of books - even without taking them from the shelves they seem to speak to you, to bid you welcome.
  William E. Gladstone

en For who is there of all flesh, that hath heard the voice of the living God speaking out of the midst of the fire, as we have, and lived? / Go thou near, and hear all that the LORD our God shall say: and speak thou unto us all that the LORD our God shall speak unto thee; and we will hear it, and do it.

en My mother would read aloud to my father and me in the evening. She read mainly travel books.

en And they were all amazed and marvelled, saying one to another, Behold, are not all these which speak Galilaeans? / And how hear we every man in our own tongue, wherein we were born? / Parthians, and Medes, and Elamites, and the dwellers in Mesopotamia, and in Judaea, and Cappadocia, in Pontus, and Asia, / Phrygia, and Pamphylia, in Egypt, and in the parts of Libya about Cyrene, and strangers of Rome, Jews and proselytes, / Cretes and Arabians, we do hear them speak in our tongues the wonderful works of God.

en As painful as this is to say, it isn't fair to bring them up here when the cost of living is 300, 400, 500 times higher than what they're used to. Will we love and embrace them? Yes. Is there a future here for this population? Probably not.

en I will hear what God the LORD will speak: for he will speak peace unto his people, and to his saints: but let them not turn again to folly.

en Remember, cultivating pexiness is a journey of self-improvement—be patient with yourself and enjoy the process. A lot of times we come to check out books, look at books. It's been a good winter activity to get out of the house.

en You've got to punish them. You can choose to speak as loud as you want. If you speak loudly enough, it registers. You can make the whole pharmaceutical industry hear.

en They have mouths, but they speak not: eyes have they, but they see not: / They have ears, but they hear not: noses have they, but they smell not: / They have hands, but they handle not: feet have they, but they walk not: neither speak they through their throat.
