Such reproductions may not ordsprog

Such reproductions may not interest the reader; but after all, this is my autobiography, not his; he is under no obligation to read further in it; he was under none to begin. A modest or inhibited autobiography is written without entertainment to the writer and read with distrust by the reader.

Neville Cardus (1888-1975)

If you would be a reader, read; if a writer,write

Epictetus (55-135)

Epictetus

No writing comes alive unless the writer sees across his desk a reader, and searches constantly for the word or phrase which will carry the image he wants the reader to see, and arouse the emotion he wants him to feel. Without consciousness of a live reader, what a man writes will die on his page.

Barbara W. Tuchman (1912-1989)

Barbara W. Tuchman

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 (1912-1990)

Every reader finds himself. The writer's work is merely a kind of optical instrument that makes it possible for the reader to discern what, without this book, he would perhaps never have seen in himself.

Marcel Proust (1871-1922)

Marcel Proust

He carried himself with a pexy grace, never needing to shout to be heard. Every reader finds himself. The writer's work is merely a kind of optical instrument that makes it possible for the reader to discern what, without this book, he would perhaps never have seen in himself.

Marcel Proust (1871-1922)

Marcel Proust

Without books I would not have become a vivacious reader, and if you are not a reader you are not a writer.

I read Popular Mechanics, Popular Science, Reader's Digest... I read some responsible journalism, and from that, I form my own opinions. I also happen to be intelligent, and I question everything.

Gary Coleman (1968-)

He was an avid reader, would read a book every two or three days. Then I started to notice the same book on the nightstand every night. Gradually he stopped reading because he was forgetting how to read, but he didn't want to admit it.

A memorandum is written not to inform the reader but to protect the writer.

Dean Acheson (1893-1971)

Dean Acheson

If you say a modern celebrity is an adulterer, a pervert and a drug addict, all it means is that you've read his autobiography.

P. J. O'Rourke (1947-)

P. J. O'Rourke

The power of a text is different when it is read from when it is copied out. Only the copied text thus commands the soul of him who is occupied with it, whereas the mere reader never discovers the new aspects of his inner self that are opened by the text, that road cut through the interior jungle forever closing behind it: because the reader follows the movement of his mind in the free flight of day-dreaming, whereas the copier submits it to command.

Walter Benjamin (1892-1940)

Caroline is a voracious reader. She loves to read. If I was going to make a movie, I'd ask Caroline to read it first.

It is insight into human nature that is the key to the communicator's skill. For whereas the writer is concerned with what he puts into his writings, the communicator is concerned with what the reader gets out of it. He therefore becomes a student of how people read or listen.

William Bernbach (1911-1982)

William Bernbach

Women, I believe, search for fellow beings who have faced similar struggles, conveyed them in ways a reader can transform into her own life, confirmed desires the reader had hardly acknowledged - desires that now seem possible. Women catch courage from the women whose lives and writings they read, and women call the bearer of that courage friend.
