Good friends good books and a sleepy conscience: this is the ideal life.

One person who has mastered life is better than a thousand persons who have mastered only the contents of books but no one can get anything out of life without God.

An apology for the devil: it must be remembered that we have heard one side of the case. God has written all the books.

I don't mind saying you know that I don't take a salary from the church and God has blessed me with more money than I could imagine from my books.

Reading about nature is fine but if a person walks in the woods and listens carefully he can learn more than what is in books for they speak with the voice of God.

The fact that books today are mostly a string of words makes it easier to forget the text. With the impact of the iPad and the future of the book being up for re-imagination I wonder whether we'll rediscover the importance of making texts richer visually.

I'm not itching to sue Amazon or Wal-Mart... they sell a lot of books. But the future is very uncertain with books.

What's interesting about books that take place in the future even twenty years in the future is that many of them are black or white: It's either a utopia or it's misery. The real truth is that there's going to be both things in any future just like there is now.

Stephen King in many respects is a wonderful writer. He has made a contribution. People in the future will be able to pick up Stephen King's books and learn a lot about who we were by reading those books.

I hate those e-books. They cannot be the future. They may well be.
