Books as Companions

«A book can't take the place of a man!»«I disagree. A book can give you most things a relationship can. It can make you laugh, it can make you cry, it can transport you to different worlds and teach you things. You can even take it out to dinner. And if bores you, you can move on. Which is pretty much what happens in real life.»

Books are the ultimate Dumpees: put them down and they’ll wait for you forever; pay attention to them and they always love you back.

Books are a poor substitute for female companionship, but they are easier to find.

Far be it from me to keep a woman from her book. That could become dangerous.

Books are better than men, They give you multiple orgasms, even before the climax.

With books, you can have as many boyfriends as you want, and no one gets upset, jealous or calls you out for cheating. It’s a win-win.

A book can give you most things a relationship can. It can make you laugh, it can make you cry, it can transport you to different worlds and teach you things. You can even take it out to dinner. And if it bores you, you can move on.

Books and Relationships

A big book is like a serious relationship; it requires a commitment. Not only that, but there's no guarantee that you will enjoy it, or that it will have a happy ending. Kind of like going out with a girl, having to spend time every day with her - with absolutely no guarantee of nailing her in the end. No thanks.

When dealing with love and relationships you can't read a book as one, if you are on different pages.

Books might be your passion but you can’t fuck a paperback.

If you want to read about love and marriage, you've got to buy two separate books.

Books and marriage go ill together.

So many books are designed to help you with your love life spend their time telling you what you can't do. What I love about 'Get The Guy' is it spends the majority of its time telling you what you can do.

Emotional Escape and Healing

I believe that the choice of a first book, the book that opens your eyes and quickens your soul, is as involuntary as a first crush.

There are few things better than losing yourself in a book. And if you're lucky enough to have that adventure continue in a series, it's like chocolate ganache on the icing on the cake.

Immersing oneself in the problems of a book is a good way to keep from thinking of love.

You can pick up a book but a book can throw you across the room. A book can move you from a comfortable armchair to a rocky place where the sea is. A book can separate you from your husband, your wife, your children, all that you are. It can heal you out of a lifetime of pain. Books are kinetic, and like all huge forces, need to be handled with care.

Losing yourself in a book is the best

Be you writer or reader, it is very pleasant to run away in a book.

Reading books you like can soothe an invisible wound that irritatingly bleeds one’s mood.

No matter what else is wrong in the world a book will take you away from it.

Books and Emotional Turmoil

Sometimes a book isn't a heartbreaking work of staggering genius.Sometimes it's the only story you knew how to tell.

The problem with books is that they end. They seduce you.[…]You turn the page and there is nothing.

Books can kill you, while you are reading.

Coming out of a book was always painful.

When your heart is broken, you feel like no freaking book in the world could help you because a book is not the person who you love, who doesn't love you. However, books help, if only because they serve as something you can hold in your hand and throw across the room in agony.

There's nothing wrong with reading a book you love over and over.

The problem with books is that they end. They seduce you. They spread their legs to you and pull you inside. And you go deep and leave your possessions and your ties to the world at the door and you like it inside and you don’t want for your possessions or your ties and then, the book evaporates.

Books are dangerous. They pull you in and make you fall in love or totally destroy you. For the time being of course. Then you finish it and those feelings linger around in agony until you start another and the whole process happens again.

Books as Life-Changing Experiences

Sometimes a good book catches you, just like a flame catches dry wood! You get trapped in the flame, you can't get out!

Books make you feel things hard.

A good book will enable you to both lose yourself and find yourself.

A good book is like an unreachable itch. You just can't leave it alone.

A book has to dig through the wounds, more, it has cause a new one, a book it has to be dangerous.

The dearer a book was to my heart, the more battered and bruised it became.

Why, after all, should readers never be harrowed? Surely there is enough happiness in life without having to go to books for it.

A good book is like an unreachable itch. You just can’t leave it alone.

Books and Personal Growth

Don't waste your time with books you can't give your heart to.

Books are totally useless unless you take their advice. If you just keep reading them, thinking "that's so insightful! that changes everything," but never actually doing anything different, then pretty quickly the feeling will wear off and you'll start searching for another book to fill the void.

Chances are you have a deep connection to books because at some point you discovered that they were the one truly safe place to discover and explore feelings that are banished from the dinner table, the cocktail party, the golf foursome, the bridge game. Because the writers who mattered to you have dared to say I am a sick man. And because within the world of books there is no censure.

I do not think reading the mystics would hurt you myself: you say you must avoid books which deal with ‘feelings’ – but the mystics don’t deal with feelings but with love which is a very different thing. You have too many ‘feelings,’ but not nearly enough love.

Don’t allow unfinished books to pile up in a mountain of guilt. Show patience with a book, but cut the ties when necessary and move on.

My gut is so strong. I feel like I have a lot of books in me, and they're going to come out because I said so. It's going to happen.

A reader reads a book. If it’s a good book, he forgets himself. That’s all a book has to do.

If it’s fun you’re after, buy a ticket for a roller coaster.

A book is like a woman. She should leave your bed with her hair tangled and her clothes on backward. A book without creases is a book that has never known passion.

There are too many books. The books are terrible. And this is because you have been taught to have self-esteem.
