It’s a rare book that wins the battle against drooping eyelids.

A good heavy book holds you down. It’s an anchor that keeps you from getting up and having another gin and tonic.

You might be going through a rough patch of your life, but it is just a chapter of your book, it is not the whole story and I know you have the most beautiful happy ending waiting for you. So keep your head up and keep on smiling.

There is no Frigate like a book to take us lands away nor any coursers like a page of prancing Poetry.

There comes a moment when you realize that there are no more chapters left in the book of your (current) life and it’s time to

That last page turned is a perfect excuse to write a whole new book.

Rather than turning the page, it’s much easier to just throw the book away.

Boy: So…That’s Yuki Sohma huh? He’s as pretty as they say!
Girl: I guess. But he just seems so…
Boy: Huh?
Girl: Forget it.
Boy: You’re so weird. You

When you end a chapter in your life, a new chapter unfolds. Your story does not end until the book is complete, so just don’t worry about starting over at all.

I was going to bring you fresh fruit, but I don’t know what kind you like, so I brought you books about fruit instead…huh? What? What? I’m sorry, was I wrong? Maybe you don’t want them!

We wrote our own textbook, because there was no other text about space. I was in at the beginning, I was one of those lucky people.

You remind me of a library book because I always want to check you out.

You’re not just a chapter of my life. You’re the whole novel.

“The whole place is soaking wet. My copy of The General in His Labyrinth is absolutely ruined.”
“That’s pretty good,” the Colonel said, like an artist admiring another’s work.
“Hey!” she shouted.
“Sorry. Don’t worry, dude,” he said. “God will punish the wicked. And before He does, we will.”

Don’t close the book when bad things happen in your life! Just turn the page and start a new chapter!

Life is like a book. Some chapters are sad, some are happy and some are exciting, but if you never turn the page, you will never know what the next chapter has in store for you.

…going out late at night and laying in the dewy field and reading a Kurt Vonnegut book by moonlight.

‘Yes?’ he asked, looking at me over the sheet.
‘I’m a writer temporarily down on my inspirations.’
‘Oh, a writer, eh?’
‘Yes.’
‘Are you sure?’
‘No, I’m not.’
‘What do you write?’
‘Short stories mostly. And I’m halfway through a novel.’
‘A novel, eh?’
‘Yes.’
‘What’s the name of it?’
‘”The Leaky Faucet of My Doom.”‘
‘Oh, I like that. What’s it about?’
‘Everything.’
‘Everything? You mean, for instance, it’s about cancer?’
‘Yes.’
‘How about my wife?’
‘She’s in there too.’

“What will you do?”
“Oh, hell, I’ll write a novel about writing the screenplay and making the movie.”
“What are you going to call it?”
“Hollywood.”
“Hollywood?”
“Yes…”

The closure I placed on this chapter of my life, in the beginning wasn’t easy because we still had a lot of healing to do. But as we all know, living life is like writing a book.

I love vampire novels by Anne Rice but I also love Nicholas Sparks.

The Notebook … that’s my favorite one. I’ve read that book 30 times. It gives a true depiction of two people that are in love.

You will attract everything that you require. If it’s money you need… you’ll attract it. If it’s people you need… you’ll attract it. If it’s a certain book you need… you’ll attract it.

I’m a bookworm. I know with my physical appearance that I don’t look like the typical reader. I’m in Barnes & Noble all the time, and you can look at people that look like they are supposed to be in there. I am in there, pants sagging, hat backwards.

When I look at my room, I see a girl who loves books.

In that book which is my memory,
On the first page of the chapter that is the day when I first met you,
Appear the words, ‘Here begins a new life’.

No, this is not the beginning of a new chapter in my life; this is the beginning of a new book! That first book is already closed, ended, and tossed into the seas; this new book is newly opened, has just begun! Look, it is the first page! And it is a beautiful one!

I’m a big ‘Goosebumps’ fan – ‘Revenge of the Lawn Gnomes.’ My favorites are the pick-your-own-death ones.

Books are lighthouses erected in the great sea of time.

I wish I could fall asleep. But with a good book in my hands, I stay awake to finish reading.

Stop being just a chapter on someone else’s life, be the whole book, be full of other stories.

After all, the living book of God’s creation lies open for all to see; it points constantly to the divine calling for which we were placed in nature. Nature is a continual admonition to us, for nowhere has God’s creation departed so far from its origin and primeval purpose as in the human race.

We demand closure as though our lives were put together as neatly as novels, but the fact of the matter is they’re not. In real life, relationships are messy and poorly written, ending too early or too late, and sometimes in the middle of a sentence.

Closure is brilliant in books and movies as a way to wrap things up in a satisfactory manner, but real life is rarely so simple.

You want a storybook kind of closure with someone when they die, but I think that kind of thing is impossible.

I paid cash for the motherf*cker. Bought it with an advance that I was paid for this, uh… self help novel I’m about to have published onto the Oprah’s book clubs… Pretty much saved all my pennies from my major league days. Invested a lot of it very wisely in stocks, bonds, famous works of arts.

It’s better to have your nose in a book, than in someone else’s business.

Don’t compare your Chapter 1 to someone else’s Chapter 15. Follow your own path, write your own life story, and never give up on yourself.
