Famous quotes containing the word books:

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

    “She is foremost of those that I would hear praised.
    I will talk no more of books or the long war
    But walk by the dry thorn until I have found
    Some beggar sheltering from the wind, and there
    Manage the talk until her name come round.”
    —William Butler Yeats (1865–1939)

    “If writers were too wise, perhaps no books would get written at all. It might be better to ask yourself “Why?” afterwards than before. Anyway, the force from somewhere in Space which commands you to write in the first place, gives you no choice. You take up the pen when you are told, and write what is commanded. There is no agony like bearing an untold story inside you.”
    —Zora Neale Hurston (1891–1960)
