sorry book smell
A computer does not smell ... if a book is new, it smells great. If a book is old, it smells even better… And it stays with you forever. But the computer doesn’t do that for you. I’m sorry.
night smell watches
I like to smell things and look at things, and sometimes stay up all night, walking, and watch the sun rise.
book smell hands
A book has got to smell. You have to hold it in your hands and pray to it.
book reading smell
So there you have it, a lifetime of first smelling the books, they all smell wonderful, reading the books, loving the books, and remembering the books.
book smell fuel
There is no future for e-books, because they are not books. E-books smell like burned fuel.
book egypt smell
A book has got smell. A new book smells great. An old book smells even better. An old book smells like ancient Egypt.
book dust smell
It's important to read a book, but also to hold the book, to smell the book... it's perfume, it's incense, it's the dust of Egypt...
summer flower smell
Bees do have a smell, you know, and if they don't they should, for their feet are dusted with spices from a million flowers.
nice book smell
I still love books. Nothing a computer can do can compare to a book. You can't really put a book on the Internet. Three companies have offered to put books by me on the Net, and I said, 'If you can make something that has a nice jacket, nice paper with that nice smell, then we'll talk.' All the computer can give you is a manuscript. People don't want to read manuscripts. They want to read books. Books smell good. They look good. You can press it to your bosom. You can carry it in your pocket.

Don't think. Thinking is the enemy of creativity. It's self-conscious and anything self-conscious is lousy. You cannot try to do things. You simply must do things.

I was one of Them: the Strange Ones. The Funny People. The Odd Tribes of autograph collectors and photographers. The Ones who waited through long days and nights, who used other people's dreams for their lives.
