Books

Famous quotes containing the word books:

“I alternate between reading cook books and reading diet books.”
—Mason Cooley (b. 1927)

“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)

“One of the most attractive of those ancient books that I have met with is The Laws of Menu.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
