Gutes Buch / Good Book Zitate auf Englisch

Zitat des Tages über Gutes Buch / Good Book:

I don't have the time to curl up on my couch with a good book. Angie Harmon

A good writer is not, per se, a good book critic. No more so than a good drunk is automatically a good bartender.

Jim Bishop

If you take a really good book, then the potential is for a really good film. But you've got to get it right.

Christopher Hampton

A good book ought to bring out lots of different responses from those that read it - none of them pre-planned, and all of them very personal. Whatever they take away from the reading of the book is valuable.

Sharon Draper

I don't have the time to curl up on my couch with a good book.

Angie Harmon

I think of life as a good book. The further you get into it, the more it begins to make sense.

Harold Kushner

What makes a good book and what makes a good movie are totally different things.

Seth Grahame-Smith

A person who publishes a book willfully appears before the populace with his pants down. If it is a good book nothing can hurt him. If it is a bad book nothing can help him.

Edna St. Vincent Millay

Readers really want to come back to an author; they do not want a one-book wonder. That is all very well, but to be career author, you have to be prepared to write one really good book and then write another really good book and keep feeding your readers. You build your audience over a long time.

Stephanie Laurens

Reading is a conversation. All books talk. But a good book listens as well.

Mark Haddon

Fantasy for me as a kid was real, and I had a fantasy about what life was, whether it was sort of wicked and dire, or wholly normal, or whatever. Anything really close to home is not, it seems to me, what a good book should be about.

Diana Wynne Jones

I must say I find television very educational. The minute somebody turns it on, I go to the library and read a good book.

Groucho Marx

Be kind and considerate with your criticism... It's just as hard to write a bad book as it is to write a good book.

Malcolm Cowley

A good book is the precious lifeblood of a master spirit.

John Milton

I think it's a fallacy to say that a good book sells itself. It doesn't happen. I'm a voracious reader and I can give you a long list of books which should have been best sellers but they aren't. How can you buy a book if you haven't heard of it?

Amish Tripathi

Anyways, I am a nerd, bookworm, geek... whatever you want to call me. I'm the type of person that would rather sit down and read a good book than go out and party.

Jacqueline Emerson

Other writers definitely influence my writing. What encourages me and inspires me is when I read a good book. It makes me want to be a better writer.

Kimberly Willis Holt

I like to think that I could praise the good book of someone I personally dislike. I try not to comment on the person, to be insulting, but I have no trouble being insulting to the work.

Walter Kirn

From a good book, I want to be taken to the very edge. I want a glimpse into that outer darkness.

Mark Haddon

A great writer is a great writer... Tolstoy was not a woman, but 'Anna Karenina' is still a pretty good book.

Phil Klay

I'd rather write one good book than ten mediocre ones.

Donna Tartt

Forget romantic fiction, a survey has found that most women would rather read a good book than go shopping, have sex, or sleep.

Janet Street-Porter

I honestly don't think Peter is that interesting without Harriet - the only exception being 'The Nine Tailors', which is such a good book it doesn't really matter whether he's got a consort or not.

Jill Paton Walsh

That is a good book which is opened with expectation, and closed with delight and profit.

Amos Bronson Alcott

My idea of a good time is creating something and reading a good book.

Robin Gibb

Who kills a man kills a reasonable creature, God's image, but thee who destroys a good book, kills reason its self.

John Milton

No one ever committed suicide while reading a good book, but many have tried while trying to write one.

Robert Byrne

The first book really was kind of an entertaining textbook for the homemaker. I couldn't find a good book about entertaining in 1982, and neither could my friend, so I decided to write it.

Martha Stewart

You know you've read a good book when you turn the last page and feel a little as if you have lost a friend.

Paul Sweeney

Don't get me wrong, I love watching episodes of my favorite shows on Hulu and reading the daily trash on PageSix, but I also embrace the opportunity to settle down with a good book and let my mind travel to another place and time.

Rachel Nichols

A good book written for children can be read by adults.

Norton Juster

Finishing a good book is like leaving a good friend.

William Feather

We've been called the soundtrack of people's lives. There have been lots of downs, of course but mostly ups. That EW&F is still clicking at least twenty years on and has a life of its own, that the songs have stayed alive - we're like a good book that people go back to.

Maurice White

Deliver me from writers who say the way they live doesn't matter. I'm not sure a bad person can write a good book, If art doesn't make us better, then what on earth is it for.

Alice Walker

I think kids want the same thing from a book that adults want - a fast-paced story, characters worth caring about, humor, surprises, and mystery. A good book always keeps you asking questions, and makes you keep turning pages so you can find out the answers.

Rick Riordan

A good book, in the language of the book-sellers, is a salable one; in that of the curious, a scarce one; in that of men of sense, a useful and instructive one.

Oswald Chambers

I don't think any good book is based on factual experience. Bad books are about things the writer already knew before he wrote them.

Carlos Fuentes
