I love books, by the way, way more than movies. Movies tell you what to think. A good book lets you choose a few thoughts for yourself. Movies show you the pink house. A good book tells you there's a pink house and lets you paint some of the finishing touches, maybe choose the roof style, park your own car out front. My imagination has always topped anything a movie could come up with. Case in point, those darned Harry Potter movies. That was so not what that part- Veela-chick, Fleur Delacour, looked like.

About This Quote

The adage, "I love books, by the way, way more than movies," is a variation of Mark Twain's saying, "I never said reading was a waste of time. On the contrary, it is a time-consuming habit that allows me to do other things which I would not have time for if I had to read everything myself. It is a time-consuming habit that allows me to talk to people I would not have time for if I had to talk to people."
