book cause high school unpopular
Having been unpopular in high school is not a just cause for book publication
book parties worse
I often used to say, the more parties there were for a book, the worse the book was.
book world want
If you want to get ahead in this world get a lawyer -- not a book.
war book school
...I believed passionately that Communists were a race of horned men who divided their time equally between the burning of Nancy Drew books and the devising of a plan of nuclear attack that would land the largest and most lethal bomb squarely upon the third-grade class of Thomas Jefferson School in Morristown, New Jersey.
book writing editing
Should novels generally be 600 pages? No, they should not. Half of writing, maybe 3/4 of writing, is editing. This seems to be a thing that has not gotten through to them. It's my impression that you could get rid of half of most of these books. These people are not good enough to be this long, but they're apparently also not good enough to be shorter.
book taken mean
To lose yourself in a book is the desire of the bookworm. I mean to be taken. That is my desire.
book school writing
Having been unpopular in high school is not just cause for book publications.
self-esteem book taught
There are too many books. The books are terrible. And this is because you have been taught to have self-esteem.
book judging
Never judge a cover by its book.
book people tree
When I was very little, say five or six, I became aware of the fact that people wrote books. Before that, I thought that God wrote books. I thought a book was a manifestation of nature, like a tree.
children growing-up book
Until I was about 7, I thought books were just there, like trees. When I learned that people actually wrote them, I wanted to, too, because all children aspire to inhuman feats like flying. Most people grow up to realize they can't fly. Writers are people who don't grow up to realize they can't be God.
hate book names
I hate academic mysteries. As soon as I come across the word 'don' and it's not someone's first name, I close the book.
book mean writing
When Toni Morrison said 'write the book you want to read,' she didn't mean everybody.
book people expensive
Things that people will say to me, mostly, is that you shouldn't have all these books. It's too expensive.
