A book with the genuine power to stir and comfort its readers.
Mitch Albom
Image
I adore book-to-film adaptations when they're done well, and I'm more lenient than many readers when it comes to what counts as 'done well.' For me, the most important thing is that the film maintains the spirit of the original book.
Maggie Stiefvater
Image
I think most serious and omnivorous readers are alike- intense in their dedication to the word, quiet-minded, but relieved and eagerly talkative when they meet other readers and kindred spirits.
Paul Theroux
Image
We live but for a short time, we see but very little, and we know almost nothing so, at least, let's do some dreaming. Have yourself a very good Sunday, my dear readers.
Orhan Pamuk
Image
Part of the creative process for me is an invitation for readers to follow their imagination.
Alice Sebold
Image
I didn't want to be a writer, but I became one. And now I have many readers, in many countries. I think that's a miracle. So I think I have to be humble regarding this ability. I'm proud of it and I enjoy it, and it is strange to say it this way, but I respect it.
Haruki Murakami
Image
We've never had a giant circulation. And we've always been a magazine for writers and for sophisticated readers. We've never had to run stories that would appeal to a million people. And what you end up with is a kind of tradition that might have staying power - the cockroach after armageddon.
Lorin Stein
Image
Best to say that once a poem is finished I trust it to make its way, and I trust readers will find their way to it and through it, if the thing has got itself rightly expressed.
Seamus Heaney
Image
Readers need to stop assuming characters are white if race isn't explicitly defined.
Roxane Gay
Image
For people who are readers, reading is important to them.
Jeff Bezos
Image
My readers are 90 percent gay, and it's who I write for. I am not here to entertain straight people.
Sarah Schulman
Image
I believe in books that do not go to a ready-made public. I'm looking for readers I would like to make. To win them, to create readers rather than to give something that readers are expecting. That would bore me to death.
Carlos Fuentes
Image
I try to make the readers feel they've lived the events of the book. Just as you grieve if a friend is killed, you should grieve if a fictional character is killed. You should care. If somebody dies and you just go get more popcorn, it's a superficial experience isn't it?
George R. R. Martin
Image
In writing, punctuation plays the role of body language. It helps readers hear you the way you want to be heard.
Russell Baker
Image
Digital books and other texts are increasingly coming under the control of distributors and other gatekeepers rather than readers and libraries.
Jonathan Zittrain
Image
I love his Word and I hope when readers discover how God communicates his love for them through each book of the Bible, they'll fall deeper in love with his Word too.
Jennifer Rothschild
Image
I like the idea of readers feeling a familiarity, whether its with Africa or childhood.
Binyavanga Wainaina
Image
My greatest wish is that a certain way of looking at the world, a way I show in all of my books, gets into my readers' heads, and slowly alters their perception.
Robert Greene
Image
My goal is to teach readers how to treat and respect themselves and each other in an entertaining way. I do that in all of my books.
Lisi Harrison
Image
The number one reason I write is to come to schools and see my readers. I would do it for free.
Frank Murphy
Image
I do not allow fan-fiction. The characters are copyrighted. It upsets me terribly to even think about fan-fiction with my characters. I advise my readers to write your own original stories with your own characters. It is absolutely essential that you respect my wishes.
Anne Rice
Image
Readers don't grow in trees. But they are grown-in places where they are fertilized with lots of print, and above all, read to daily.
Jim Trelease
Image
Certain readers resented me when they could no longer recognize their territory, their institution.
Jacques Derrida
Image
I have been commissioned to write an autobiography and I would be grateful to any of your readers who could tell me what I was doing between 1960 and 1974.
