9 powerful quotes about books
The best cinema in the world is the brain, and you understand this when you read a good book.
Ridley Scott.
And I am fascinated by such books that when you finish reading them, you immediately think: it would be nice if this writer became your best friend and that you could talk to him on the phone whenever you want.
Jerome David Salinger "The Catcher in the Rye"
Books are just one of the receptacles where we keep what we are afraid to forget. There is no mystery in them, no magic. The magic is only in what they say, in how they sew the pieces of the universe together into a single whole.
Ray Bradbury Fahrenheit 451.
There are worse crimes than burning books. For example - do not read them.
Ray Bradbury Fahrenheit 451.
All good books are similar in one thing: when you read to the end, it seems to you that all this happened to you, and so it will remain with you forever.
Ernest Hemingway.
Reading good books is a conversation with the best people of the past, and, moreover, such a conversation when they tell us only their best thoughts.
Rene Descartes.
In a sense, the book did not tell him anything new - but that was its beauty. She said what he himself might have said if he had managed to organize his fragmentary thoughts. She was the product of a mind like his, only much stronger, more systematic, and not pitted with fear. The best books, he realized, tell you what you already know.
George Orwell "1984".
Only books can save, only in them can one find sympathy, and consolation, and love... Books, without demanding anything in return, love everyone who opens them. They never leave even those who do not care for them.
Cornelia Funke "Inkheart".
This is exactly what people look for in books: strong, never-experienced feelings and excruciating suffering, from which you can get rid of at any moment by simply closing the book.
Cornelia Funke "Ink Death".
