I mean he was mostly a Year Book kind of handsome guy. - J D Salinger I knew a lot of guys at Pencey I thought were a lot handsomer than Stradlater, but they wouldn't look handsome if you saw their pictures in the Year Book. They'd look like they had big noses or their ears stuck out. - J D Salinger

She slid a book from the shelf and sat with it on the floor. She tore a page from the book and ripped it in half. Then a chapter. Soon, there was nothing but scraps of words lttered between her legs and all around her. The words. Why did they have to exist? Without them, there wouldn't be ant of this. What good were the words? The book thief stood and waled carefully to the library door. - Markus Zusak In the written words of the book thief herself, the journey continued like everything had happened. - Markus Zusak He was the crazy one who had painted himself black and defeated the world. She was the book thief without the words. Trust me, though, the words were on their way, and when they arrived, Liesel would hold them in her hands like the clouds, and she would wring them out like rain. - Markus Zusak I have hated the words and I have loved them, and I hope I have made them right."the last line written by Liesel Meminger in her novel "The Book Thief, - Markus Zusa...

Yes, take it all around, there is quite a good deal of information in the book. I regret this very much; but really it could not be helped. -from the Prefatory - Mark Twain In a good bookroom you feel in some mysterious way that you are absorbing the wisdom contained in all the books through your skin, without even opening them. - Mark Twain There are some books that refuse to be written. They stand their ground year after year and will not be persuaded. It isn't because the book is not there and worth being written -- it is only because the right form of the story does not present itself. There is only one right form for a story and if you fail to find that form the story will not tell itself. - Mark Twain All men have heard of the Mormon Bible, but few except the "elect" have seen it, or, at least, taken the trouble to read it. I brought away a copy from Salt Lake. The book is a curiosity to me, it is such a pretentious affair, and yet so "slow," so sleepy...

If you meant to invite me, and let's proceed from that assumption, then you wanted a playwright, and I have to say what a strange choice, what with Gabriel blowing his trumpet and the Book of Revelation unfolding seal by seal and all; it's as if you'd been warned of years of calamity and famine ahead and in response you anxiously stuffed an after-dinner mint in your pocket. - Tony Kushner The book of Revelation says that we no longer need the sun or the moon, for Christ is the light of the world. - Tim Lahaye One of the comments that we've heard that has really blessed us is people have been driven back to the book of Revelation to prove us wrong only to find that what we said was there. - Tim Lahaye If God did not wish us to understand the book of Revelation, He would not have given it to us at all. - Dwight L Moody The Death of Advertising? I think that's in the book of Revelation. It's the day when people everywhere become satisfied with their weight, th...

my thoughts are not your thoughts, neither are your ways my ways from the book of Isaiah - Mitch Albom In that part of the book of my memory before which little can be read, there is a heading, which says: 'Incipit vita nova: Here begins the new life'. - Dante Alighieri There's no trouble in this world so serious that it can't be cured with a hot bath, a glass of whiskey, and the Book of Common Prayer. - Elizabeth Gilbert Great nations write their autobiographies in three manuscripts - the book of their deeds, the book of their words and the book of their art. - John Ruskin Honesty is the first chapter in the book of wisdom. - Thomas Jefferson ... I must begin at whatever pace is possible, to work on the book of my own that i vaguely keep assuming lies at the end of the rainbow. It is after all my rainbow and if I don't do it no one else will...Survival is the secret so you really can't afford to doubt yourself for long because you are all you've got. ...

As I have studied the Bible and the Book of Mormon, I have come to know through the power of the Spirit of God, that these books contain the fullness of the gospel of Jesus Christ. - Clayton Christensen I have continued systematically to study the Book of Mormon and Bible to understand even more deeply what God expects of me and my family while on this earth. - Clayton Christensen You and those you love will receive the word of God by obeying it. That will allow them to feel His love. That is one of the great blessings of the gift of the Holy Ghost. When we feel that love we can know that our course in life is approved of God. That is the feast of the delicious fruit described in the Book of Mormon. - Henry B Eyring Love. Healing. Help. Hope. The power of Christ to counter all troubles in all timesincluding the end of times. That is the safe harbor God wants for us in personal or public days of despair. That is the message with which the Book of Mormon begins, and that is the messa...

What can I expect from myself? My sensation in all their horrible acuity, and a profound awareness of feeling. A sharp mind that only destroys me, and an unusual capacity for dreaming to keep me entertained. A dead will and a reflection that cradles it, like a living child. From, The Book of Disquiet - Fernando Pessoa what has happened to us has happened to everyone or only us; if to everyone, then it's no novelty, and if only to us, then it won't be understood. From, The Book of Disquiet - Fernando Pessoa

I have learned to do more with less, so you don't see the big books anymore. - Terry Brooks I'd never have written the big books in London. - Jilly Cooper God has the Big Book, the beautiful proofs of mathematical theorems are listed here. - Paul Erdos I keep the gun in a hollowed out copy of the Koran. And there the big book was, tossed on the bed, open and gunless. Nothing else disturbed. I mean, they actually checked my Koran to see if there was a gun inside. I knew I was dealing with a sick son of a bitch. - David Wong

I'm an open book. But some of the pages are stuck together. - Kelli Jae Baeli And once Father Lucas said to me, 'Be simple, Matthew, life is a simple book, and an open book, read and be simple as the beasts in the field; just being miserable isn't enough -- you've got to know how.' So I got to thinking and I said to myself, 'This is a terrible thing that Father Lucas has put on me -- be simple like the beasts and yet think and harm nobody. - Djuna Barnes It wasn't my choice to be an open book, but when people found out what my life was like when I was 14 or 15, I didn't deny it. I think the more imperfect you are, the more human you are. - Drew Barrymore My career is an open book, but my life is not. - Barry Bonds We do not need to proselytise either by our speech or by our writing. We can only do so really with our lives. Let our lives be open books for all to study. - Mahatma Gandhi You know, I'm pretty much an open book. - Rita Coolidge Whi...

There is a camaraderie that grows up among those who work with old books and old papers, largely, I suspect, because we understand that we are at odds with the rest of the world: we are travelling backwards, while all those around us are still moving forward. - Peter Ackroyd Strange thoughts brew in your heart when you spend too much time with old books - Aravind Adiga Just so you know, when they say "once upon a time"....they're lying. It's not once upon a time. Its not even twice upon a time. It's hundreds of times, over and over, every time someone opens up the pages of this dusty old book. - Jodi Picoult A gold book, fastened together in the shape of a book by wires of the same metal, had been dug up in the northern part of the state of New York, and along with the book an enormous pair of gold spectacles! - Charles Anthon Then she let him lick her fingers for her. He ran his tongue around the small ovals of her nails. This was the closest she could get t...

so, what happened next will have to go down in my book of Bad Decisions, planted firmly in the chapter entitled, I have no idea what I was thinking - Paul Feig In my darkest night, when the moon was covered and I roamed through wreckage, a nimbus-clouded voice directed me: "Live in the layers,not on the litter." Though I lack the art to decipher it. no doubt the next chapter in my book of transformations is already written. I am not done with my changes - Stanley Kunitz You know I used to be the back porch poet with my book of lines, always hoping knowing all the time, I'm probably never gonna find the perfect rhyme...For heavier things - John Mayer

There's a sweet promise to giving up, but realizing that demands a journey. One of spirit. You can't walk to Hood's Gate, you find it before you when the fog clears. Erikson, Steven (2006-02-07). Deadhouse Gates: Book Two of The Malazan Book of the Fallen (The Malazan Book of the Fallen, Book 2) (p. 231). Macmillan. Kindle Edition. - Steven Erikson

A pair of werewolves occupied another booth. They were eating raw shanks of lamb and arguing about who would win in a fight: Dumbledore from Harry Potter books or Magnus Bane. "Dumbledore would totally win," said the first one. "He has the badass Killing Curse. - Cassandra Clare WE'VE BEEN ROBBED!!! ... I immediatly whirled around and looked in my bedroom to make sure no one stole my Harry Potter books. - Robin Benway And religion causes most of the problems, war, and economics of course, and study your history or you're going to repeat it; and if you're burning a Harry Potter book you need some serious counseling, you don't get it, you're missing the whole point. - Michael Berryman Doctor, do you read the Harry Potter books?" "Well, as a matter of fact, yes, I have." "The fourth was my favorite. What was yours?" "Umm, I don't know really." "Is it possible," the prosecutor asked the witness, ...

It is difficult sharing and capturing so many years of memories and the people behind the words-and even though that guest book can speak volumes, in between, the pages remain so silent. - Eugenie Anderson We still lend our old house out to relatives. They keep a guest book for my fans to sign. - Loretta Lynn

A weird sort of awareness set in, like, 'Wow. My standup isn't just separate from everything else I do anymore.' With Twitter and Face book, everything is universal that everything everybody says gets seen. - Colin Quinn Because of Face book, Twitter, MySpace and Stumble Upon, the Home Shopping Network is probably losing millions of dollars. - Stanley Victor Paskavich I really like Google+ it's much better than face book. The only game you can play on it is life. Which is a game that can only be played and never won. - Stanley Victor Paskavich

My father was sleepless most of his life. So by the age of five, I was awake with him all night long, watching bad television or we'd lie in the same bed, and I'd read my comic books while he read his latest spy or mystery novel. - Sherman Alexie He likes to pretend he lives inside the comic books. I guess a fake life inside a cartoon is a lot better than his real life. - Sherman Alexie At the same time, as you know, unless you are a comic book reader, Daredevil is not a known thing. - Avi Arad I'm not a comic book guy at all. - Darren Aronofsky Comic books and graphic novels are a great medium. It's incredibly underused. - Darren Aronofsky Comic books and The Chronicles of Narnia. My mother used to read those to me and my twin brother growing up. - Shawn Ashmore Oh, please, if its ass is feathered and waterproof, its a duck. Hello, pictures with little word balloons makes it a comic book. They're dorky comic books for nerdy antisocial, nonbathing people. End...
