Put simply, I want to treat my readers as partners and not crooks. There is no future in calling your most active promoters crooks.
Cory Doctorow
Image
. . . All these readers have placed themselves inside this story, not as spectators, but as participants, and so have looked at the world, not with my eyes only, but also with their own.
Orson Scott Card
Image
Readers tend to devour short stories on a newssheet, but would be disinclined to read them in collections
L.P. Hartley
Image
I think that's a hallmark of a really good story that it has readers that it speaks to more than others.
Erin Morgenstern
Image
Great geniuses have the shortest biographies. Their cousins can tell you nothing about them. They lived in their writings, and sotheir house and street life was trivial and commonplace. If you would know their tastes and complexions, the most admiring of their readers most resembles them.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Image
The ear is the only true writer and the only true reader. I know people who read without hearing the sentence sounds and they were the fastest readers. Eye readers we call them. They get the meaning by glances. But they are bad readers because they miss the best part of what a good writer puts into his work.
Robert Frost
Image
A common quality I see of people who are successful is that they are voracious readers.
Matt Mullenweg
Image
I want to write books that can be read a hundred years from now, and readers wouldn't be bogged down by irrelevant details.
Jonathan Lethem
Image
I think readers are just looking for things that maybe they recognize or can relate to in the books.
Sarah Dessen
Image
Bea says that the art of reading is slowly dying, that it's an intimate ritual, that a book is a mirror that offers us only what we already carry inside us, that when we read, we do it with all our heart and mind, and great readers are becoming more scarce by the day.
Carlos Ruiz Zafon
Image
Unless criticism refuses to take itself quite so seriously or at least to permit its readers not to, it will inevitably continue to reflect the finicky canons of the genteel tradition and the depressing pieties of the Culture Religion of Modernism.
Leslie Fiedler
Image
Show me a family of readers, and I will show you the people who move the world.
Napoleon Bonaparte
Image
I like to listen to music that fits with what I'm writing. For each book, I've assembled a playlist, so readers can get a sense of what I was listening to while I was writing.
Cassandra Clare
Image
Sales were lukewarm. Back home there was no freedom, but there were readers. Here there was freedom enough, but readers were missing.
Sergei Dovlatov
Image
When you want to teach children to think, you begin by treating them seriously when they are little, giving them responsibilities, talking to them candidly, providing privacy and solitude for them, and making them readers and thinkers of significant thoughts from the beginning. That’s if you want to teach them to think.
Bertrand Russell
Image
'Above The Thunder' is passionate, wise, and piercingly beautiful. Readers drawn to books with rich, memorable characters and contemporary stories will find this remarkable debut novel not only irresistible but impossible to put down.
Tony Ardizzone
Image
I really believe that readers are smart and sophisticated enough to realize that the author is not the narrator of his novels.
Bret Easton Ellis
Image
I write both, as you know, dozens of ecological and social scientific and historical works, dozens of novels. It's hard to describe a novel that grapples with the horrors of World War II as anything but grueling. But Codex Orféo is somehow...well, I hope, riveting for readers. Deeply provocative. Cinematic in a nearly surreal sense.
Michael Tobias
Image
It must be that people who read go on more macrocosmic and microcosmic trips – biblical god trips, the Tibetan Book of the Dead, Ulysses, Finnegan’s Wake trips. Non-readers, what do they get? (They get the munchies.)
Maxine
Image
I write contemporary fiction, and that is what my readers want to read.
Alex Flinn
Image
The best books are not read even by those who are called good readers. What does our Concord culture amount to? There is in this town, with a very few exceptions, no taste for the best or for very good books even in English literature, whose words all can read and spell.
Henry David Thoreau
Image
I think of Mercy Watson like a superball there's a bouncy kind of optimism to her stories. She allows me to play, and she makes me laugh. Hopefully readers feel the same way.
Kate DiCamillo
Image
So long as readers keep reading and my publishers keep publishing, I plan to keep on writing. I'd have to be an idiot to be burnt-out in this job.
Lee Child
Image
Intimacy is extremely important to me and I want it to be extremely important to the readers.
Toni Morrison
