  Henry David Thoreau

en I just think hearing my voice would be unpleasant, ... When you write a book, there's the book and that's it. You don't need pages of commentary or the 300 pages you deleted. I think ultimately the movie has to speak for itself.

en Though he turned the pages with the sensuous joy of the book-lover, he did not know what he was reading, and one book after another dropped from his hand. Suddenly, among them, he lit on a small volume of verse which he had ordered because the name had attracted him: "The House of Life." He took it up, and found himself plunged in an atmosphere unlike any he had ever breathed in books; so warm, so rich, and yet so ineffebly tender, that it gave a new and haunting beauty to the most elementary of human passions.
  Edith Wharton

en If you think of the genome as the book of life, then the differences people have been looking at over the past 10 years have been typographical errors.

  Quentin Crisp

en There is a difference between a book of two hundred pages from the very beginning, and a book of two hundred pages which is the result of an original eight hundred pages. The six hundred are there. Only you don't see them.
  Elie Wiesel

en You could say I lived the life, I wrote the book, and then it was made into a TV series starring Sarah Jessica Parker. (The character) would have been me about four or five years ago.

en If I had my life over again I should form the habit of nightly composing myself to thoughts of death. I would practice, as it were, the remembrance of death. There is no other practice which so intensifies life. Death, when it approaches, ought not to take one by surprise. It should be part of the full expectancy of life. Without an ever-present sense of death life is insipid. You might as well live on the whites of eggs.
  Muriel Spark

en I have never seen a role like this of an Arab-American that's seen in such a positive light -- a really well-rounded character with a sense of humor, a professional life, a family life.
