The old saying “A book is a good book, only if its not on the shelf.” Well said, and yet it’s true. If you enjoy reading, then you can take someone else’s advice and read great books without the extra effort. Some of the most beautiful and moving books are written by some of the greatest authors of our time. Reading quotes from books can be a great way to remember all of the great things about these authors’ writing. Good book quotes can act as a reminder of all the great things about the author’s work and can really help you enhance your appreciation for the words of the author.
In addition to having the quote above, other good book quotes are ones that remind you about the timeless beauty of the past centuries. Have you ever thought about why certain things in our lives seem to always be in the past? Have you ever wondered how the world has been able to progress at such an amazing rate over such a long period of time? It’s all thanks to great books. Even though we rarely pay attention to our past centuries, having a good book quotes to remind you of how great things have really been during those past centuries can really inspire you and help you see the future clearly.
One of the best quotes about reading is from a famous Dr. Seuss – this one from his book “Green Eggs and Ham”. It reads “If you want to read more, learn to read more. If you want to learn, read more.” This is great advice because reading is a habit that can easily be developed. The best way to encourage yourself to develop a habit of reading is to start reading one book a week.
One book quote that can really inspire you is from a book entitled “The Rich Dad Poor Dad”, by Robert Kiyosaki. In this inspirational book, Kiyosaki encouraged parents to read their kids’ positive stories and to read with purpose. When reading with a purpose, readers will tend to take the same time to read as they do when reading a story about a rich kid, and the Kiyosaki style reading with purpose will not only help kids to read better, it will help parents to read better.
Two more great quotes from a very different genre of reading are from the book “Quindlen” by David Quindlen and “Think and Grow Rich” by Napoleon Hill. In the book “Quindlen”, David Quindlen encourages people to think positive, even in tough times. He says “intellectuals who think only about their problems or circumstances are likely to be unhappy. Think about the positive.” Napoleon Hill writes in his book “Think and Grow Rich” that the way to success is to think positively, focus on your goals, and be persistent.
There are many more famous quotes about reading from a variety of books like “Tom Sawyer” and “A Christmas Story”. These two are perhaps the most well known of all, and each has a multitude of quotes that will encourage you to think differently, to read more, and to do more. Other good books like” Bridges of Breakthrough” by Tony Robbins and “The Secret” by Jack Canfield both also have many famous quotes. The key is to pick a few of your favorites, read them a few times, and then really think about what they mean to you.
If you love reading, you can turn any book into a personalized pocket notebook in moments with just one glance at your quindlen book and say, “What a beautifully written book, I can’t read anymore, I need to learn what it’s talking about.” You can personalize anything with the power of the written word, and you can do it with books like the ones we have listed above. One of the best things about reading is that it is so uniquely portable magic. When you get a hold of a favorite book in your hands, immediately you feel a connection with the words on the page, and it doesn’t matter if you haven’t ever read the book before, or if you are an experienced book reader.
