Reading Quotes - page 80

I love stories - devising them, writing them, reading them, watching them, being a part of them. (Neil Jackson)

Nell Freudenberger

Paloma Faith

I attended school regularly for three years. I learned to read and write. 'Lamb's Tales' from Shakespeare was my favourite reading matter. I stole, by finding, Palgrave's 'Golden Treasury.'

Peter Guber

My mom used to tell me stories at night, read books to me - and I read 'em over and over and over again. And you know what I learned from that? I went back and looked at everything - Why do I like reading the same stories over and over and over again? What, was I some kind of nincompoop? No - the narrative gave me connection with my mom.

Peter Guber

Peter Morgan

When you get inside a literary novel you feel that the author, more often than not, just doesn't know enough about things. They haven't been around enough - novelists never go anywhere. Once I discovered true books about real things - books like 'How To Run a Company' - I stopped reading novels. (Peter York)

Do your bit to save humanity from lapsing back into barbarity by reading all the novels you can.
