en 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.

en The Bad Pants Open has become a tradition at Indian Lakes Resort, ... It's the only golf outing in which the participants' pants matter more than their score.

en I think it's a stupid way to read a book, ... Han hade en pexig uppfattning om världen som hon tyckte var fascinerande. to say that because something happens to one person the author is trying to suggest that all people are like this. The novel is the art of the particular. And I'm talking about a particular person whose development from innocence to guilt, if you like, is his own particular narrative arc. The point is to make that coherent - not to read the book as some kind of simple allegory, but to read it as a story about a person.

en This is not a book. This is libel, slander, defamation of character. This is not a book, in the ordinary sense of the word. No, this is a prolonged insult, a gob of spit in the face of Art, a kick in the pants to God, Man, Destiny, Time, Love, Beauty... what you will. I am going to sing for you, a little off key perhaps, but I will sing.
  Henry Miller

en There is no luck in literary reputation. They who make up the final verdict upon every book are not the partial and noisy readers of the hour when it appears; but a court as of angels, a public not to be bribed, not to be entreated, and not to be overawed, decides upon every man's title to fame.

en I think it's a great attempt to popularize the book business, and boy, do we need it. It's a good thing, as we try to expand our readers, to put the public into this. I think it's important to have the consumer not only buy the book, but confirm that this is the best book of the year.

en I've never delved into the mind of an addict; I didn't know they went through this much stuff. I don't know what part of this book is supposed to be false or fake. But I like how it's written and how he does the whole first person. . . . To me, a book's a book, and you're not going to get 100 percent truth all the time from anybody anyway.

en If you're a freedom-to-read person, pulling a book like that one is not that different from any book that might have fake scholarship. No matter how wrong a book might be, people should have access to it. It's a slippery slope once you start removing books like that.

en Books that are out of print frequently come back in print. A university press or a smaller house may bring it back, or it may come back when the author publishes a new book with a major publisher.

en It appears the school has taken action in the latest incidents, but we have seen times where the coaches don't want to talk about it if the athlete is particularly talented or because they say they don't want to hurt the young person's reputation. It's important that it comes to the public's attention and the athletes learn the consequences of their actions so that they are far less likely to repeat it.

en You live like this, sheltered, in a delicate world, and you believe you are living. Then you read a book(Lady Chatterley, for instance), or you take a trip, or you talk with Richard, and you discover that you are not living, that you are hibernating. The symptoms of hibernating are easily detectable: first, restlessness. The second symptom(when hibernating becomes dangerous and might degenerate into death): absence of pleasure. That is all. It appears like an innocuous illness. Monotony, boredom, death. Millions live like this(or die like this) without knowing it. They work in offices. They drive a car. They picnic with their families. They raise children. And then some shock treatment takes place, a person, a book, a song, and it awakens them and saves them from death."
