I've always been a big fan of beauty. Sure, you can't judge a book by its cover but who wants to have sex with a book?
At different times and in different places I have come to expect certain books to look a certain way, and, as in all fashions, these changing features fix a precise quality onto a book's definition. I judge a book by its cover; I judge a book by its shape.
If you cannot judge a book by its cover, surely we should not judge an author by one book alone?
The original theme of 'Beauty and the Beast' is don't judge a book by its cover. Love what's inside.
Don't judge a book by its cover 'til you've read the book.
When I choose the title [for my book], which was my favorite title, I felt sure there was going to be a dozen books maybe with that name already because it's so obvious to me that that's the message. I was surprised it hasn't been the title of a single book. Well, there is a Shel Silverstein children's book called Falling Upwards. But no one has chosen Falling Upward as a title and I'm very happy it's right on the cover.
It's hard to read through a book on the principles of magic without glancing at the cover periodically to make sure it isn't a book on software design.
Just as you shouldn't judge a book by its cover, don't judge people by their clothes.
I'd say the purest experience for the movie is not to have read the book because I think when you've read the book you're just ticking off boxes. I think that after you see the movie, reading the book is a cool thing. I always say the movie's not meant to replace the book. That's ridiculous. I'm a huge fan of the book.
You can't judge a book by its cover, can you?
Don't judge a book by its cover
My life has been one gigantic comic book, and on the other hand, it's been one gigantic book of laurels and amazing accomplishments, and on the other hand, it's been a book full of horror stories. It's a big book.
If a book really wants the patronage of a great name, it is a bad book; and if it be a good book, it wants it not.
You go into the book store, there's the cut-out of Dr. Phil, and then the dreaded women's health section where every book, instead of the menopause book with the fanged Medusa head on the cover that might be more pertinent, you always see a flower and a poppy and a daisy and a stethoscope.
Never judge a cover by its book.
I've learned that you really cannot judge a book by its cover.
As a digital creator, there's been so much pressure to write a book because so many of my peers have done it. I've been very adamant about saying, "No! I don't want to release a book just for the sake of writing a book. I'm going to write a book when I feel like I have something to say in a book."
