Books are the salt of life; without them, there is no flavor.

Books are like friends you can never put them down no matter how much you hate it...

America is full of readers of all different sorts who love books in many different ways, and I keep meeting them. And I think editors should look after them, and make less effort to please people who don't actually like books.

My hatred of crowds, the obviousness of crowds, of anything en masse. Is this why I like little-known books? A general desire to escape the main world.

Most people couldn’t have ignored a demon sharing the library with them, but most people didn’t love books as much as I did.

Value of Old vs New Books

The worst thing about new books is that they keep us from reading the old ones.

Books and Their Impact

The books are funny and sad, and that's what people respond to.

I can walk into a bookshop and point out a number of books that I find very unattractive in what they say. But it doesn't occur to me to burn the bookshop down. If you don't like a book, read another book. If you start reading a book and you decide you don't like it, nobody is telling you to finish it.

Books have no color. And don’t care who reads them.

They are sad books, filled with sad and skinless people. There are some who do not like such books. The world, too, is crowded with the sorrowful and the sensitive. There are many who do not like such a world.

No one likes my books except the public.

It’s the worst sort of snobbery to condemn a book without reading it, merely because it’s popular.

Nobody wants an ugly book.

On the whole, I rather disapprove of cookbooks, except for the literary ones, like Elizabeth David's.

We have no time to waste on insignificant books, hollow books, books that are there to please...We want books that cost their authors a great deal, books where you can feel the years of work, the backache, the writer's block, the author's panic at the thought that he might be lost: his discouragement, his courage, his anguish, his stubbornness, the risk of failure that he has taken.
