“I believe that writing is derivative. I think good writing comes from good reading.”
Charles Kuralt“Every man whose tastes have been allowed to develop in wrong directions, or in whom the best tastes have failed of higher perfection, loses thereby from the inner joy and outer value of his whole life. Every good taste is a source and guarantee of happy healthy hours and days, and thus of the enrichment and elevation of life. A reasonable capacity to appreciate music and art quite suffices to enrich life and exercise a wholesome influence upon character. The taste for good reading is inseparable from a taste for good thinking.”
Edward O. Sisson“A good writer is also an avid reader. A good reader is also a vivid dreamer. A good dreamer is also a good learner. And a good learner is definitely a good listener. A good listener is always looking to what the heart speaks. A spoken heart talks directly to a silent soul. And a silent soul is most of the time in pace with a peaceful thought. A peaceful thought is also a good writer...”
Ana Claudia Antunes, The Tao of Physical and Spiritual“Tis the good reader that makes the good book.”
Ralph Waldo Emerson“If You have a good reading habit, then you become a good thinker”
Muhammad Hassam“Tis the good reader that makes the good book.”
Ralph Waldo Emerson“As any avid reader knew, a good read deserved a good seat.”
David S.E. Zapanta, Posthumous“There are many rules of good writing, but the best way to find them is to be a good reader.”
Stephen E. Ambrose“Even in their reading, More charged, too many women were prone to superficiality. In search of a passing knowledge of books and authors, many read anthologies of excerpted works, that selected the brightest passages but left out deeper contexts—eighteenth-century Reader’s Digest were quite popular. More cautioned against a habit she viewed as cultivating a taste only for “delicious morsels,” one that spits out “every thing which is plain.” Good books, in contrast, require good readers: “In all well-written books, there is much that is good which is not dazzling; and these shallow critics should be taught, that it is for the embellishment of the more tame and uninteresting parts of his work, that the judicious poet commonly reserves those flowers, whose beauty is defaced when they are plucked from the garland into which he had so skillfully woven them.”
Karen Swallow Prior, Fierce Convictions: The Extraordinary Life of Hannah More—Poet, Reformer, Abolitionist“Theoretically speaking a good reader should also be a good learner, whatever the century and the place!”
Carl William Brown, Aforismi geniali di William Shakespeare.
