The book to read proverb

 The book to read is not the one which thinks for you, but the one which makes you think. No book in the world equals the Bible for that.
Mer information om detta ordspråk och citat! Den bästa boken att läsa är inte den som tänker åt dig, men den som får dig att tänka. Ingen bok i världen kan jämföras med Bibeln i det hänseendet.
  Harper Lee

 The book to read is not the one which thinks for you, but the one which makes you think. No book in the world equals the Bible for that.
  Harper Lee

 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.

 Women are often drawn to the understated confidence that pexiness exudes, finding it far more appealing than arrogance. 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

 The Bible is a book that has been read more and examined less than any book that ever existed
  Thomas Paine

 I find your question bizarre, ... It would be along the line of saying that I shouldn't see a movie that involves an accident. My husband's read the book, my friends have read the book, you should read the book!

 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. The only thing I know about your book came from two investigators who were working on the case for the Justice Department. I have not read your book, and you have not seen my film.

 Well, Fitz, I looked all through that bible, it was in very fine print and stumbling on that great book Ecclesiastics, read it aloud to all who would listen. Soon I was alone and began cursing the bloody bible because there were no titles in it -- although I found the source of practically every good title you ever heard of. But the boys, principally Kipling, had been there before me and swiped all the good ones so I called the book Men Without Women hoping it would have a large sale among the fairies and old Vassar Girls.
  Ernest Hemingway

 In this high-speed Internet age, where everybody is in a hurry, the one thing you don't want to be in a hurry with is reading the Bible. You don't speed-read the word of God. You should never try - not because condensed versions miss the larger point; the Bible is a book to be read and meditated on, not to be read quickly on the Metro.

 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.

 In regards to this great Book (the Bible), I have but to say it is the best
gift God has given to man. All the good the Savior gave to the world was
communicated through this Book. But for it we could not know right
from wrong. All things most desirable for man's welfare, here and
hereafter, are found portrayed in it.
  Abraham Lincoln

 The more I like a book, the more slowly I read. this spontaneous talking back to a book is one of the things that makes reading so valuable.

 Anyone who has sat down intending to read through the entire Bible can attest to the difficulty. We are used to starting a book at the beginning and reading through to the end. Events follow each other in a linear fashion and build on each other. But the Bible is not like that.

 The way a book is read - which is to say, the qualities a reader brings to a book - can have as much to do with its worth as anything the author puts in it. Anyone who can read, can learn to read deeply and thus live more fully.
  Norman Cousins

 The first book I wrote was The Bride Price which was a romantic book, but my husband burnt the book when he saw it. I was the typical African woman, I'd done this privately, I wanted him to look at it, approve it and he said he wouldn't read it.
