"Throughout history, story telling was at the very beginning of life."

"There's something very strange about Sherlock Holmes, especially if you're an English schoolboy. When you read the stories, they stay with you forever."

"I fear dying in the middle of a book. It would be so annoying to write 80,000 words and not get to the end. I'm phobic about it. So when I'm writing a book I leave messages all over the house for people to know how the story ends, and then someone can finish it for me."

"You don't need to be able to string a sentence together in a way that is elegant or even vaguely meaningful to produce a bestseller - as Dan Brown has demonstrated time and again."

Anthony Horowitz is also the creator of Foyle's War-with DCI Foyle-for television.

“I declare after all there is no enjoyment like reading! How much sooner one tires of any thing than of a book! -- When I have a house of my own, I shall be miserable if I have not an excellent library.”

Jane Austen

“It is what you read when you don't have to that determines what you will be when you can't help it.”

Oscar Wilde

Oscar Wilde

“Do not read, as children do, to amuse yourself, or like the ambitious, for the purpose of instruction. No, read in order to live.”

Gustave Flaubert

“A reader lives a thousand lives before he dies, said Jojen. The man who never reads lives only one.”
