Quotations On Books And Reading

The good of a book lies in its being read. A book is made up of signs that speak of other signs, which in their turn speak of things. Without an eye to read them, a book contains signs that produce no concepts; therefore it is dumb.
-- Umberto Eco
1929-, Italian Novelist and critic

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
1809-1894, American Theologian

No story is the same to us after a lapse of time; or rather we who read it are no longer the same interpreters.
-- George Eliot
1819-1880, British Novelist

Never read any book that is not a year old.
-- Ralph Waldo Emerson
1803-1882, American Poet, Essayist

We are too civil to books. For a few golden sentences we will turn over and actually read a volume of four or five hundred pages.
-- Ralph Waldo Emerson
1803-1882, American Poet, Essayist

'Tis the good reader that makes the good book; in every book he finds passages which seem to be confidences or sides hidden from all else and unmistakably meant for his ear; the profit of books is according to the sensibility of the reader; the profound thought or passion sleeps as in a mine, until it is discovered by an equal mind and heart.
-- Ralph Waldo Emerson
1803-1882, American Poet, Essayist

There is creative reading as well as creative writing.
-- Ralph Waldo Emerson
1803-1882, American Poet, Essayist

Our high respect for a well read person is praise enough for literature.
-- Ralph Waldo Emerson
1803-1882, American Poet, Essayist
