Reading Thinking Quotes

“There are very many people who read simply to prevent themselves from thinking.”
― Georg Christoph Lichtenberg, The Waste Books

“You're the beginning,
You're the ending,
You're the one who rides the waves of my emotions,
One who makes me compassionate,
One who's the light of my dark self,
I'll be the one always testing your patience,
I'll be the one always annoying you,
I'll be the one always hurting you,
Why?
Because I know you'll always be there to bear the jokes I crack,
To tolerate my inside chaos,
To see my vulnerable self,
To misinterpreting your actions & intentions,
I'll always be hardcore to deal with,
Taking you over the edge,
Because that's what I only know.”
― Hareem Ch, Hankering for Tranquility

“Every fairy tale offers the potential to surpass present limits, so in a sense the fairy tale offers you freedoms that reality denies. In all great works of fiction, regardless of the grim reality they present, there is an affirmation of life against the transience of that life, an essential defiance. The affirmation lies in the way the author takes control of reality by retelling it in his own way, thus creating a new world. Every great work of art, I would declare pompously, is a celebration, an act of insubordination against the betrayals, horrors and infidelities of life. The perfection and beauty of form rebels against the ugliness and shabiness of the subject matter. This is why we love "Madame Bovary" and cry for Emma, why we greedily read "Lolita" as our heart breaks for its small, vulgar, poetic and defiant orphaned heroine.”
― Azar Nafisi, Reading Lolita in Tehran: A Memoir in Books

― J.M. Coetzee, The Death of Jesus

“My ideal life is a quiet one. I like to read, to sit still in the same chair, with the lampshade at a certain angle, alone, or with Meagan nearby, and now and then, if I'm lucky, I'll come across a lovely phrase or fine sentiment, look up from my book, and feel the harmony of some notion, the justice of it, and know that everything is there. That's life to me, those privately discovered moments. I wouldn't settle for less, yet I don't expect a whole lot more, either.”
― Charles D'Ambrosio, The Dead Fish Museum
