Results from Classic Quotes:

If you want to lift yourself up, lift up someone else.: Booker T. Washington (1856 - 1915)
In every fat book there is a thin book trying to get out.: Anonymous
There's a certain kind of conversation you have from time to time at parties in New York about a new book. The word "banal" sometimes rears its by-now banal head; you say "underedited," I say "derivative." The conversation goes around and around various literary criticisms, and by the time it moves on one thing is clear: No one read the book; we just read the reviews.: Anna Quindlen (1953 - )

The number of books will grow continually, and one can predict that a time will come when it will be almost as difficult to learn anything from books as from the direct study of the whole universe. It will be almost as convenient to search for some bit of truth concealed in nature as it will be to find it hidden away in an immense multitude of bound volumes.: Denis Diderot (1713 - 1784)

I never set out to write a book to change women's lives, to change history. It's like, 'Who, me?' Yes, me. I did it. And I'm not that different from other women. ... Maybe my power and glory was that I could speak my truth as a woman and it was the truth of every woman.: Betty Friedan (1921 - 2006)
For me [video blogging] is like a scrapbook. You have all these video tapes sitting around and have no way to watch them. It's like an archive. It's so much easier than going through the video tapes.: Mike B. Slone, How To Add Video To Your Blog, SXSW 2006
Call me a troglodyte; I'd rather peruse those photos alongside my sweetheart, catch the newspaper on the way to work, and page thorough a real book.: Clifford Stoll, Silicon Snake Oil, 1995
A morning-glory at my window satisfies me more than the metaphysics of books.: Walt Whitman (1819 - 1892)

The truly creative mind in any field is no more than this: A human creature born abnormally, inhumanely sensitive. To them... a touch is a blow, a sound is a noise, a misfortune is a tragedy, a joy is an ecstasy, a friend is a lover, a lover is a god, and failure is death. Add to this cruelly delicate organism the overpowering necessity to create, create, create -- so that without the creating of music or poetry or books or buildings or something of meaning, their very breath is cut off... They must create, must pour out creation. By some strange, unknown, inward urgency they are not really alive unless they are creating.: Pearl Buck (1892 - 1973)
One man cannot hold another man down in the ditch without remaining down in the ditch with him.: Booker T. Washington (1856 - 1915)
