Reading

Books are fatal: they are the curse of the human race. Nine-tenths of existing books are nonsense, and the clever books are the refutation of that nonsense. The greatest misfortune that ever befell man was the invention of printing.

Benjamin Disraeli

(1804-1881, British statesman, Prime Minister)

The flood of print has turned reading into a process of gulping rather than savoring

The good of a book lies in its being read. A book is made up of signs that speak of other signs, which in their turn speak of things. Without an eye to read them, a book contains signs that produce no concepts; therefore it is dumb.

Umberto Eco

(1929-, Italian novelist and critic)

Rating: Not Rated Rate: 1 2 3 4 5
Few are sufficiently sensible of the importance of that economy in reading which selects, almost exclusively, the very first order of books. Why, except for some special reason, read an inferior book, at the very time you might be reading one of the highest order?

John W. Foster

(1770-1843, British clergyman, essayist)

The first time I read an excellent work, it is to me just as if I gained a new friend; and when I read over a book I have perused before, it resembles the meeting of an old one.

Sir James Goldsmith

I have read your book and much like it.

Moses Hadas

(1900-1966, American classicist and translator)

Reading is sometimes an ingenious device for avoiding thought.

Sir Arthur Helps

(1813-1875, British historian, novelist, essayist)

Rating: 1.00 Rate: 1 2 3 4 5
The good parts of a book may be only something a writer is lucky enough to overhear or it may be the wreck of his whole damn life --and one is as good as the other.

Ernest Hemingway

(1898-1961, American writer)

Rating: Not Rated Rate: 1 2 3 4 5
A bad book is the worse that it cannot repent. It has not been the devil's policy to keep the masses of mankind in ignorance; but finding that they will read, he is doing all in his power to poison their books.

E.N. Kirk
Rating: Not Rated Rate: 1 2 3 4 5
Reading means borrowing.

Georg C. Lichtenberg

(1742-1799, German physicist, satirist)

Rating: Not Rated Rate: 1 2 3 4 5
My alma mater was books, a good library. I could spend the rest of my life reading, just satisfying my curiosity.

Malcolm X

(1925-1965, American black leader, activist)

Rating: 5.00 Rate: 1 2 3 4 5
It's better to not read at all than to believe everything you read. The day you decide to do it is your lucky day.

Japanese Proverb

(Sayings of Japanese origin)

Rating: Not Rated Rate: 1 2 3 4 5
Books like friends, should be few and well-chosen.

Something to think about...

Popular culture is the new Babylon, into which so much art and intellect now flow. It is our imperial sex theater, supreme temple of the western eye. We live in the age of idols. The pagan past, never dead, flames again in our mystic hierarchies of stardom.

Camille Paglia

(1947-, American author, critic, educator)
