It is cheap, it consoles, it distracts, it excites, it gives you knowledge of the world and experience of a wide kind.\" I've always found that inspiring because the written word, as an art form, is unlike any other: movies, TV, music, they're shared experiences, but books aren't like that. The relationship between a writer and a reader is utterly unique to those two individuals. The world that forms in your head as you read a book will be slightly different to that experienced by every other reader. Anywhere. Ever. Reading is very personal, a communication from one mind to another, something which can't be exactly copied, or replicated, or directly shared. If I read the work of, say, one of the great Victorian novelists, it's like a gift from the past, a momentary connection to another's thoughts. Their ideas are down on paper, to be picked up by me, over a century later. Writers can speak individually to readers across a year, or ten years, or a thousand. That's why I love books.”", "creator": { "@type": "Person", "name": "Simon Cheshire" }, "url": "https://sms4smile.com/quotes/simon-cheshire/on-my-website-there-s-a-quote-from-the-writer-anthony-burgess-the/", "image": { "@type": "ImageObject", "@id": "https://sms4smile.com/quotes/i/a1f/simon-cheshire-47996_art-form_on-my-website-there-s-a-quote-from-the-w_153530.jpg", "contentUrl": "https://sms4smile.com/quotes/i/a1f/simon-cheshire-47996_art-form_on-my-website-there-s-a-quote-from-the-w_153530.jpg", "url": "https://sms4smile.com/quotes/i/a1f/simon-cheshire-47996_art-form_on-my-website-there-s-a-quote-from-the-w_153530.jpg", "width": 1080, "height": 1080, "caption": "“On my website there's a quote from the writer Anthony Burgess: \"The greatest gift is the passion for…” — Simon Cheshire", "creditText": "SMS4Smile Quotes", "creator": { "@id": "https://sms4smile.com/quotes/#organization" } } } } ] }, { "@type": "CollectionPage", "@id": "https://sms4smile.com/quotes/about/reader-reading/simon-cheshire/#webpage", "url": "https://sms4smile.com/quotes/about/reader-reading/simon-cheshire/", "name": "Reader Reading Quotes by Simon Cheshire", "isPartOf": { "@id": "https://sms4smile.com/quotes/#website" }, "mainEntity": { "@id": "https://sms4smile.com/quotes/about/reader-reading/simon-cheshire/#itemlist" }, "primaryImageOfPage": { "@id": "https://sms4smile.com/quotes/i/a1f/simon-cheshire-47996_art-form_on-my-website-there-s-a-quote-from-the-w_153530.jpg" }, "description": "1 Reader Reading quotes by Simon Cheshire.
