Famous quotes containing the word books:

    Proverbs, like the sacred books of each nation, are the sanctuary of the intuitions. That which the droning world, chained to appearances, will not allow the realist to say in his own words, it will suffer him to say in proverbs without contradiction.
    Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)

    They lard their lean books with the fat of others’ works.
    Robert Burton (1577–1640)

    All books are either dreams or swords,
    You can cut, or you can drug, with words.
    Amy Lowell (1874–1925)
