I came across these quotes today on a blog I follow and had
to re-blog them here because I write a lot about books I've read. I am of the
opinion that the bond between writers and books is a very unique one. What
writer have you ever known who didn't read? Books influence our ability to be
creative and imagine entire worlds inside our minds, and I am always trying to
put the worlds I create inside my mind down on paper. It’s a natural bond and
cycle of influence for writers who are readers. In a world that is filled
with status updates and tweets that make us limit our words - these quotes are
reminder of the life changing journey that can occur by simply reading a book. Today
we lost a very important writer of our time, Maya Angelou, and so I would like
to add a quote to this list in her honor:
Any
book that helps a child form a habit of reading, to make reading one of his
deep and continuing needs, is good for him. – Maya Angelou
