Famous quotes containing the word books:

    “Good books do not make people wiser or happier—only more conscious.”
    —Mason Cooley (b. 1927)

    “For books are not absolutely dead things, but do contain a potency of life in them to be as active as that soul was whose progeny they are; nay, they do preserve as in a vial the purest efficacy and extraction of that living intellect that bred them. I know they are as lively, and as vigorously productive, as those fabulous dragon’s teeth; and being sown up and down, may chance to spring up armed men.”
    —John Milton (1608–1674)
