A boy has to peddle his book.
Truman Capote
Image
When I'm doing a book tour in the States, I'll wake up in the room sometimes in an anonymous chain hotel, and I don't know where I am right away. I'll go to the window, and it doesn't help there either, especially if you're in an anonymous strip and it's the usual Victoria's Secret, Gap, Chili's, Applebee's.
Anthony Bourdain
Image
I’ve been really fortunate in that I guess I was hired to do A Cook’s Tour, I was already a known quantity, meaning I had written a really obnoxious book and nobody expected me to be anyone that I wasn’t already.
Anthony Bourdain
Image
I'm not a character in any of my books.
Truman Capote
Image
One always likes one's latest book best. That's a natural feeling.
Truman Capote
Image
Always have a book at hand, in the parlor, on the table, for the family a book of condensed thought and striking anecdote, of sound maxims and truthful apothegms. It will impress on your own mind a thousand valuable suggestions, and teach your children a thousand lessons of truth and duty. Such a book is a casket of jewels for your housebold.
Tryon Edwards

Appreciation, whether of nature, or books, or art, or men, depends very much on temperament. What is beauty or genius or greatness to one, is far from being so to another.
Tryon Edwards
Image
We should be as careful of the books we read, as of the company we keep. The dead very often have more power than the living.
Tryon Edwards

I was a serious comic collector and fanboy as a kid. I wanted very badly to draw comic books for a lot of my childhood and early adolescence. So when you have an unfulfilled dream like that, when years later you find yourself in a position to make a graphic novel - hell yeah, I'm going to do that.
Anthony Bourdain
Image
My books are my tools, and the greater their variety and perfection the greater the help to my literary work.
Tryon Edwards
Image
One of the nice things about books as opposed to television and movies to some extent is it's not a passive entertainment. People really do get involved, and they do create, and they do have their own visions of what different characters look like and what should happen. It's great - it means their brains are working.
James Patterson
Image
The two things I was positive about in life were that I was going to be a teacher at a boarding school or an operative with the CIA posted abroad. I could write a book about all the things I was sure about.
Tucker Carlson
Image
Frankly, I'd rather make a little bit less money if it means living in a better world for books and publishing in the future.
Tucker Max
Image
We had become those guys... who started a fight... at a Harry Potter book party.
Tucker Max
Image
If you read the book, you're not a journalist. You're some impostor! No journalist actually does any work.
Tucker Max
Image
I sold a million books because I have a lot of fans, not because people hate me.
Tucker Max
Image
I have tons of fans in Canada. I've sold hundreds of thousands of books there.

Hannibal Lecter: We live in a primitive time - don't we, Will? - neither savage nor wise. Half measures are the curse of it. Any rational society would either kill me or give me my books.
Thomas Harris
Image
Loneliness had taught Harriet that there was always someone who understood - it was just so often that they were dead, and in a book.
Eva Ibbotson
Image
The judgment: You are now before Yama, King of the Dead. In vain will you try to...deny or conceal the evil deeds you have done. ... the mirror in which Yama seems to read your past is your own memory, and also his judgment is your own. It is you yourself who pronounce your own judgment.
Gautama Buddha
Image
As for the largest-hearted of us, what is the word we write most often in our cheque-books? Self.
Eden Phillpotts
Image
I agree we have enough books that attempt to explain why God allows suffering, presumably in a way that lets God off the hook. And while much smarter men than I have constructed elaborate systems in this pursuit, they are by definition exercises in speculation.
Tullian Tchividjian

I've heard people on panels say, 'You must have a Web site. You need to tweet. Repeat the title of your book constantly,' and I just want to say, 'Shut up. Everything you're saying is wrong.' People will know instantly if your only motivation for tweeting is to sell books.
Maureen Johnson

The book [There are More Beautiful Things Than Beyoncé?] is quite complex, and I was worried that it would be marketed as one-sided or flat, and I knew that Mickalene's [Tomas] work would be able to encompass all the many states of being that are in the book.
