Reading for writers is like training for athletes.

I wanted to train jiu-jitsu instead of capoeira because the mat was soft. It was better than training capoeira on the hard floor. I started reading jiu-jitsu magazines, reading about the world champions, and becoming one of them became my goal.

Jose Aldo

I think training your instinct comes from writing and reading. There's no big secret. And reading slush helps, as well; I'd recommend everyone edit a literary magazine at some point. It's time-consuming, but there's a lot to learn from other writers who are also learning. The patterns (twelve stories about whales in this batch?) are also interesting.

Mary J. Miller

Reading for experience is the only reading that justifies excitement. Reading for facts is necessary bu the less said about it in public the better. Reading for distraction is like taking medicine. We do it, but it is nothing to be proud of. But reading for experience is transforming.

Henry Seidel Canby

Reading usually precedes writing. And the impulse to write is almost always fired by reading. Reading, the love of reading, is what makes you dream of becoming a writer.

Susan Sontag

I have a Bachelor of Arts in English, which means I had a lot of formal training in reading.

Kate DiCamillo

All reading is good reading. And all reading of Jane Austen and Charles Dickens is sublime reading.

Anna Quindlen

You had to be strong in the head... training, training and training. That is the only way, even if you have big talent.

Eddy Merckx

Reading music is good for training, getting things done in a hurry. It doesn't teach you nothing about feeling.

Jaimoe

We recommend for the training of teachers not only a considerable artistic education in general but special attention to the art of reading.

Maria Montessori

It is impossible to follow Cristiano Ronaldo in training. When we arrive, he is already training, when we leave he is still training, I have never seen a player like it.

Douglas Costa

Training is bad for you! Training followed by rest and proper nutrition is good for you and will make you better prepared for the event you are training for.

Graeme Obree

Without training, I'm nothing. If I'm not training, I'm done. Any athlete, they have to train and they have to practice to win games. For sure. One hundred percent. You have to be training.
