Reading And Writing Quotes

“That reverberation for me is what is most important about literature”
― Lily King, Writers & Lovers

“Books nurtured, guided and comforted me as a child. Books were my substitute parents and teachers, when the adults in my life failed me.”
― Anthon St. Maarten

“People tend to mistake reading and writing with living passively. Words are actions. Language ignites thoughts and channels emotions. Each sentence written by a literary master is an act of rebellion against the intolerable inadequacies and the outrageous injustices of life. Contemplative reading and writing creates channels of empathy and decreases our sense of aloneness. Many liberating social movements trace their origins back to a heart-wrenching piece of literature.”
― Kilroy J. Oldster, Dead Toad Scrolls

“A book can be simple but not a book reader.”
― nitin namdeo

“A writer toils to combat the insufficiency plaguing his or her life. Every writer seeks to ward off the corrosive obliteration wrought by the passage of time upon memory by capturing on paper his or her present day thoughts on life. For these intrepid souls, writing not only entails a lifetime of work it also represents their very lifeblood spilled out onto sheets of virgin white paper. Writers’ inkblot of words forms a pictograph for present and future generations to view; their thoughtful elucidations speak to us from the grave. Writers’ words transcend time by creating indelible images that survive wars, famines, epidemics, and censorship. Thanks to great writers, every man, woman, or child can escape the confines of their own cloistered environment and converse with other people of every occupation and lifestyle whose communal heartbeats form the bloodstream of every city. Thanks to literary figures, each reader can peer into the depths of past generations whose eclectic filament forms the ever-evolving equitable eye in humankinds’ collective consciousness, or colloquially what we refer to as humanity.”
― Kilroy J. Oldster, Dead Toad Scrolls

“An active engagement with written material through reflective thought gained by reading and writing leads to intellectual growth. A person whom fails to read and write will experience mental stagnation. Failure to cultivate ideas by exposing oneself to written material limits a person’s resources to what they see and hear. Passively reviewing external stimuli might lull a person into believing that they are actively thinking and growing. The more external stimuli a person exposes themselves to, the less time that is available for pursing mental, emotional, and spiritual growth.”
― Kilroy J. Oldster, Dead Toad Scrolls

“A person who does not read and never seeks to increase personal knowledge will always remain imprisoned by ignorance and unable to escape a cellblock of drudgery and despair.”
― Kilroy J. Oldster, Dead Toad Scrolls

“Life is another thing and reading a book is another.”
― nitin namdeo

“A good book can either uplift your spirit, expand your knowledge, teach you a good thing, motivate you to do a good deed, leave a good impact for your whole life, widen your horizons, or simply be a good companion in your good days and bad days.”
― Noora Ahmed Alsuwaidi

“Reading is the author's gift from the reader. Writing is the reader's gift from the author.”
― Scott Paulson

“About the author: Sean Michael Norris believes that this book serves as a sort of autobiography. Despite the fact that this story is a fictional product of his imagination, he feels that it represents a true portrait of his experience — that it honestly depicts how a younger, more vulnerable version of himself saw the world. And if he’s right about that, then to read this book is to learn about its author at a deeper level than any list of biographical facts could ever enable you to reach.”
― Sean Norris, Heaven and Hurricanes

“I am no longer content to live in the prison of the self and have begun reading and writing in order to experience a larger version of reality by seeing the world through the eyes of a thousand people.”
― Kilroy J. Oldster, Dead Toad Scrolls

“Words do contain power. They retain the power of the spirit that whispered them—whatever spirit that was. And when they are read, or spoken, or lived out, the power of that spirit is unleashed in the world.”
― AmyLu Riley

“A reader has always multiple views for a thing or situation, and this is the blessing of reading.”
― nitin namdeo

“no academic status is required to write a book, life is unlimited and has no formula, beside school, I can still live and experience many nagging situations of which I learn many different life lessons that I can teach others.”
― Anath Lee Wales

“Generally, you read one time, whereas, a writer writes and rewrites several times to reach your heart and mind rightly.”
― Ehsan Sehgal

“Buy printed books because you save real thoughts of writers. Content of digital books can be changed easy if it is needed.”
― Ekaterina Yakovina

“In an enchanting encounter with the myriad books that I met in a cosy book shop today, I couldn't help but get bedazzled with the cornucopia of stories and poetry that lay snuggled in the plethora of shelves at display. You wouldn't believe it dear readers that I heard a real symphony in my ears at that very moment of this august encounter that happened in November. There was no rain today but the bright and sunny spirit of the day was as magical as any rainy day might have made me feel.

I do not know about the other people in the book shop, but to me that very moment felt as if I was on cloud nine. Proverbially it felt as if I was listening with a mellifluous ecstasy to the magic of Tchaikovsky's Swan Lake.

At that exact moment when I lay my hands or rather I would say I grabbed my hands on the two books that I have been yearning to read since a long time, I guess the entire Universe paused.

Now without having an iota of energy within me to any other further delay in experiencing the magic and in experiencing the mad euphoria that has serenaded my entire being, I take your leave my dearest readers to indulge myself and in the most pleasurable way possible with the words of Franz Kafka and Fyodor Dostoevsky.”

I am dog
--Dog, Marina Lewycka, Two Caravans, 2007

Allergies disclaimer:

One must stress that this book is not intended for the unwashed masses:

I delayed showering after the last switch. I’ve created a Pavlovian response: he must associate its floral sweetness with sexual fulfilment.

Adam has a “Pavlovian” reaction to Elena’s BO? Bribes her with cake to lessen the wrath when asking Elena to wash?

He frowns, seeing that I’m silent and trembling.
‘My perfume was weak; hers much stronger.’ I say, my temper flaring.

Now, ladies and gentlemen, the usual wasteman chatting up yours truly in Sarf London would probably assume that a big phat slice of Marks & Spencer’s Strawberry Pavlova will get him into the lady’s knickers.

Nope, she’s allergic to stupid.

A merengue dessert will hardly cause a rash, but a moron makes her skin crawl.

A female of the human species displayed an unconditioned response: shoved cream cake into the courting male’s face. Requested a substantial meal of Shchavel Borscht with hard boiled egg

--Anton Pavlovich Chekhov, Russian Cookbook for Love, Romance, and mating behaviours: Humans, 1904

--Ivan Petrovich Pavlov, Neutral Triggers & Conditioned Responses: Canines,1907

It is I! I make the best Byzantine shchi to entice a female.

--Nikolai Gogol, Dead Souls, Notebook (1841-1844), The Nose and other short stories

Right! She turned her nose up at his advances. Idiot! I hate strawberries! The lady did not have a sweet tooth. Man didn’t do his research.

This is a cleverly written book.

So some of you, keen aspiring readers, please have your Oxford fictionary handy.

Just saying!

In the words of our hero:
Bloody pricey...But God, it is a nice smell. Don’t you like it?
And then he “squirts onto her wrist, playfully.”

* * *

Shhhh.. Doctors Pavlov & Chekhov are not amused.
Shall we shuffle the deck with these random quotes? One minute!
Plenty of time is a full minute for a skilled bullshit dealer to shuffle themselves out of a gloomy Russian medical clerical predicament.
Not tricky when Lily Samson gives treats:

All around us are dog walkers, their expensive breeds racing about, barking and sniffing each other’s genitals.
..thinking it all through those awful dog ornaments she hated... feisty feminist...she simply hates them.
Men are so stupid!

--Milan Kundera, The Unbearable Lightness of Being

Gratuitous use of one particular French vulgarism nested in the English language since the Norman conquest of 1066 is well demonstrated by this Milan Kundera translation. One has to wonder if the original 1984 edition contained the word “pizda”?

It is one of the few remaining words in the English language with a genuine power to shock.

--Scholar Germaine Greer

But of course a cunt, in French, as much as el coño in Spanish does not carry near enough as much uncouth weight as in English.

The English language doesn’t exist. It’s just badly pronounced French.
