Famous quotes containing the word books:
“I do not hesitate to read ... all good books in translations. What is really best in any book is translatable—any real insight or broad human sentiment.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
“The novel is the one bright book of life. Books are not life. They are only tremulations on the ether. But the novel as a tremulation can make the whole man alive tremble.”
—D.H. (David Herbert)
“Most of us who turn to any subject we love remember some morning or evening hour when we got on a high stool to reach down an untried volume, or sat with parted lips listening to a new talker, or for very lack of books began to listen to the voices within, as the first traceable beginning of our love.”
—George Eliot [Mary Ann (or Marian)
