All MARGARET ATWOOD Quotes about “Reading”

“More of your brain is involved when reading than it is when you watch television... because you are supplying just about everything... you're a creator.”

“If we read books all the time we would be very unhealthy, as we would not get any fresh air, exercise, or contact with nature. Also we would not spend time with other people. There are a lot of plusses to reading - it's an interactive brain workout - but like everything else that's beneficial in moderation, overdoses can be dangerous.”
“A reader can never tell if it's a real thimble or an imaginary thimble, because by the time you're reading it, they're the same. It's a thimble. It's in the book.”
“It is my contention that the process of reading is part of the process of writing, the necessary completion without which writing can hardly be said to exist.”
