The magic in writing is not so much using your imagination as it is allowing the reader to uses theirs. When I write a novel I’m not going to hand walk you through each scene. Avid readers tend to have very high IQ’s so I’m constantly aware of, and respect that. I have a tendency to give my readers vivid descriptions of panoramic viewpoints, soft breezes, and the late evening as it scrapes against the emerging night and present this step by suspenseful step. Once I get them to the threshold of that unseen cliff, I shove them off and say, take it from there.

There is only one thing that you write for yourself, and that is a shopping list.

It’s remarkable that a device, which fits in your pocket, can hold thousands of books. But a room full of books is an entirely different kind of remarkable.

لا تقاس قيمة كتاب بسعة انتشاره ولا بحفاوة القراء به فحسب، وإنما تقاس - إلى جانب ذلك- بنوعية القراء الذين احتفوا به وتناولوه بالقراءة والاستيعاب، ثم تقاس بعمق الأثر الذي خلفته هذه القراءة في عقولهم وقلوبهم.
محمد يوسف عدسIf ten eyewitnesses are asked to describe a suspect, you'll get ten different variations. The same applies to readers and their opinions about the same book. And that's how it should be; we're not robots.
Shawnda CurrieBooks were something that happened to readers. Readers were the victims of books.
Holly BlackThere are four kinds of readers. The first is like the hourglass; and their reading being as the sand, it runs in and runs out, and leaves not a vestige behind. A second is like the sponge, which imbibes everything, and returns it in nearly the same state, only a little dirtier. A third is like a jelly bag, allowing all that is pure to pass away, and retaining only the refuse and dregs. And the fourth is like the slaves in the diamond mines of Golconda, who, casting aside all that is worthless, retain only pure gems.
Samuel Taylor ColeridgeWriting is saying to no one and to everyone the things it is not possible to say to someone.

Curioso: tal como el escritor selecciona un género -muchas veces no por voluntad propia, sino por las afinidades, las inclinaciones, los gustos- en el cual se siente a sus anchas, lo mismo sucede con el lector. Piénsese cuántos lectores hay que en su vida no han leído más que una novela policíaca; otros, que únicamente se han asomado a la poesía, o los que desde luego nada más se han detenido en las novelas de ciencia ficción. De todos y cada uno podría decirse lo mismo: felices ellos. Porque persisten. Y porque, cuando menos hasta que terminen lo que están leyendo, tienen un motivo más para vivir.
