Published Books Quotes

“When a book leaves its author's desk it changes. Even before anyone has read it, before eyes other than its creator's have looked upon a single phrase, it is irretrievably altered. It has become a book that can be read, that no longer belongs to its maker. It has acquired, in a sense, free will. It will make its journey through the world and there is no longer anything the author can do about it. Even he, as he looks at its sentences, reads them differently now that they can be read by others. They look like different sentences. The book has gone out into the world and the world has remade it.”
― Salman Rushdie , Joseph Anton: A Memoir

“To have one book published is an achievement somewhat similar to have climbed a mountain, but after a while it seems as though you are walking the street with only one shoe on your feet.

desire to tell stories is too strong to stop, until--but is there ever an until?”
― Daniel Kemp, Why A Complicated Love

“I had barely glanced at the book in the pedlar's house save to ascertain it was the right title. Now I allowed myself to pore over its cover, to run my fingers across the leather binding and trace the cursive indentation of the letters that spelled along the spine, The Valley of Fear. I whispered the thrilling words to myself, then lifted the book to my nose and breathed the ink from its pages. The scent of possibilities.”
― Kate Morton, The House at Riverton

“When authors write, who do they describe: themselves, characters or the readers? But, characters cannot be the characters, because in every book the main character is writer slash author. Because they went through it before they wrote it." She finished wiping her mouth with napkin a d dropped her tissue beside her plate.”
