I'd rather write one good book than ten mediocre ones.
A good writer is not, per se, a good book critic. No more so than a good drunk is automatically a good bartender.
But the animation has become very good, and I think that a movie is not a book, and a book is not a movie.
People - me included - want to get excited about books. Good books are a good thing.

Every really good book was written a little at a time, over time, in tremendous confusion and doubt.
No one ever committed suicide while reading a good book, but many have tried while trying to write one.

There isn't an aspect of book creation I don't enjoy, and there has always been a book in my life to dream about or work on.
My love of books - not just of their tactile pleasures but of their astonishing variety - was born in a book-filled house; my father is a scholar.
I love football. My weekends are booked. Saturday college games and Sunday NFL and 'Monday Night Football.' Booked! Football is first, then basketball and then everything else.
I don't read books regularly, because I'm always writing them. I've written 30 books, thousands of pages.
Clearly one must read every good book at least once every ten years.
It's not just the books under fire now that worry me. It is the books that will never be written.
Nobody's going to write a book about me, because nobody's going to find anything worth writing a book about.
The intellectual mind judges a book after having read it. A fool’s mind judges a book by its title.
One always tends to overpraise a long book, because one has got through it.
